Construction Defects is the defect management software and app by Open Experience for the construction phase: construction defects are recorded on site by smartphone or tablet with photo, location and responsible party, assigned to the contractors with a deadline, and tracked through to the completion notice — including acceptance and the warranty phase. Reports and notices of defects are generated at the push of a button, and deadline tracking runs automatically.
Take a photo, tap the location on the plan, pick the trade and the responsible party — done in seconds. With plan server sync and BIM/IFC import; offline mode even handles the basement with no signal.
The AI recognizes the construction defect in the photo and creates the entry in structured form — you review, complete, assign. Built in our own research, trained on more than 200,000 real construction site images — GDPR-compliant, servers located in Germany.
Acceptance reports, defect lists and formally correct notices of defects are generated at the push of a button from your records — ready to send as PDF.
„Generating reports at the push of a button has become so effortless that acceptance walkthroughs, report included, now take only a fraction of the time.“
Every defect notice gets its deadline. The system reminds, escalates and documents — up to the formal notice of defects with a grace period, and the follow-up request is prepared automatically. Subcontractors submit completion notices via free accounts.
Limitation periods in view (VOB/B, the German construction contract procedures: 4 years; BGB, the German Civil Code: 5 years), every warranty defect documented and assigned — reported via the app, through a dedicated email address or directly by the tenant via the QR code interface.
Works together with: Construction Photos (photo documentation), Construction Diary (daily site reports), DIGIBAU 360 (walkthrough capture). One project, no duplicate data entry.
Acceptance records and defect notices can be signed with an advanced biometric signature and a qualified timestamp, including by the contractor. The module is available at an extra charge. More about the digital signature
Construction Defects covers the entire process — from the walkthrough through rectification request and completion notice to the warranty phase. All features at a glance:
Construction Defects is part of our transparent packages — we publish all prices openly on our pricing page (/en/preise/). Subcontractor accounts for defect processing are free of charge.
For contractors, yes. If your client assigns you a defect, you work on it free of charge in the app or the browser and send the completion notice with proof photos. For clients we deliberately offer no free version. If you want to try Construction Defects on a real project before you buy, book the trial package: four weeks, set up by us, at a fixed price. The apps themselves are free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
For site managers, site supervisors (LPh 8), project controllers and general contractors — and for the contractors that rectify defects and document completion notices.
Yes — apps for Apple and Android tablets and smartphones plus a browser version, with an offline mode for the relevant areas.
Reports and notices of defects follow the formal requirements of practice (deadline setting, proof of receipt, documentation).
Yes — free use for contractors without any license: mobile completion notices with proof photos, via app or browser.
Servers located in Germany, GDPR-compliant processing of personal data, daily backups — made & hosted in Germany.
A photo becomes a defect: the image recognition detects typical construction defects and creates the entry in structured form — you review, complete and assign. The AI works exclusively with your project data, GDPR-compliant on servers in Germany.
Beyond the classic construction defect, e.g. occupational safety, obstruction, outstanding work, damage report, planning notice and additional work — each type with its own document templates and up to three escalation levels, from the rectification request to the formal notice of defects with a grace period.
The software is only the tool. Our expert articles explain the law behind defect notification, the formal notice of defects and warranty, and the comparisons show how Construction Defects differs from other providers.
