Enabling Digital Workspaces

Digitalization is not an end in itself. It should create clarity and make work easier. We accompany teams from the construction and planning industry in building digital structures that fit, step by step.

The Challenge: Getting Complexity Under Control

In construction and planning projects, complexity often arises from connecting many stakeholders, different data sources, and distributed responsibility. At the same time, your years of experience and proven processes are valuable. They form the foundation, not something to simply replace.

Data in Silos
Project information scattered across Excel, email, WhatsApp, various tools
Manual Rework
Hours spent consolidating, comparing, sorting – work that creates no value
Media Breaks
From PDF to Excel to CAD – each switch costs time and invites errors
BIM Overwhelm
Everyone talks about it, but concrete implementation in existing processes remains unclear
Tool Sprawl
Everyone uses different software – integration missing, transparency suffers
Skills Shortage Makes It Worse
Fewer people need to do more – impossible without better structures

Our Approach: Agile and Customer-Oriented

We don't develop solutions on the drawing board, but together with you. Digitalization works when it fits your processes, not the other way around.

1

Understand

We analyze your workflows along real projects. Where are bottlenecks? What data flows exist? Who needs what information?

→ Goal: Shared picture of the current situation

2

Explore Possibilities

Based on understanding, we develop scenarios. What would be feasible? Where is the greatest potential? What fits your budget and team size?

→ Goal: Realistic options for action

3

Implement Step by Step

We don't implement everything at once, but in stages. Iteratively test, gather feedback, adapt. This creates something that really works.

→ Goal: Usable results, not concept papers

4

Empower

We don't hand over a black box, but ensure your team understands and can use the solutions independently.

→ Goal: Long-term autonomy

Our Four Core Areas

We bundle our service offering into four areas that build on each other content-wise. You can start with any of these points.

Digitalization & Process Consulting
We analyze your workflows, roles, communication paths, and data flows along real projects. From this, we develop a shared picture of the current situation and possible future scenarios.

Goal: Make working methods visible, understand bottlenecks and potential, create decision-making foundations.

Typical for: Firms that know 'we need to be more digital' but don't have a clear plan yet.

Automation & Integration
Whether reducing repetitive tasks, integrating different data sources, or empowering more employees to take on certain activities: We develop understandable automations, integrations, and workflows (for example with n8n or specific scripts).

Goal: Connect information paths, reduce manual work steps, gain time for value-creating work.

Typical for: Teams suffering from manual rework or having data silos.

Software Development
We design custom applications or extensions based on real processes and data logic. These can be tools for specific workflows, interfaces to existing systems, or completely new solutions.

Goal: Reach new heights through custom software that fits your requirements exactly.

Typical for: Firms with specific requirements that standard software doesn't cover (for example for BIM data workflows).

Digital Products
We develop our own digital products like kontekst cloud and cooperate on product ideas, extensions, or further developments in long-term partnerships.

Goal: Think solutions with potential further together and make them scalable.

Typical for: Companies that want to co-develop a product or benefit from our existing products.

How Workflows Make Scattered Data Usable

The Problem Many Know:

Project-relevant information is distributed across different systems: Excel spreadsheets in the back office, model data from planning, reports from quality inspections. Manually consolidating these data silos costs hours every week. Questions like 'Where are we in the project?' or 'Which areas need special attention?' cannot be answered quickly.

Our Approach:

We develop workflows that automatically connect, enrich, and make data available where it's needed. This creates new possibilities for controlling, transparency, and collaboration.

Three Steps to a Functioning Workflow:

1

Consolidate Data

Different sources are automatically read and connected. Whether Excel from the back office, IFC models from planning, or inspection reports – everything flows into a central workflow.

2

Process Automatically

The workflow transforms, enriches, and evaluates. Algorithms take over repetitive tasks: compare data, establish connections, sort by priority.

3

Present Usably

Results are provided as a dashboard, report, or directly in existing tools. Everyone on the team sees the information relevant to them without having to search manually.

What This Enables:

Management receives controlling dashboards without manual preparation. Planning teams see model checks and inspection results in context. Back office data flows automatically to where it's needed. Time previously spent on consolidation is now available for value-creating work.

Why We Speak the Language of the Construction Industry

We come from architecture ourselves and have worked in real projects. This means: We understand the reality on construction sites and in planning processes, not just theoretically.

Architecture Background

We understand BIM processes (including openBIM, IFC), planning workflows, and the challenges of projects with many stakeholders. We speak your language because we come from your world.

From Consulting to Code

We don't think in isolated services. Whether process analysis, n8n automation, or custom software: We accompany you throughout. No handover chaos between consultants and developers.

Your Processes in Focus

We don't develop solutions you have to adapt to your processes. We build solutions that fit your processes. Your experience is the starting point, not an obstacle.

kontekst as Proof

With kontekst cloud, we develop our own product for the construction industry. We know how to build robust, practical software for this domain from our own experience.
