Trade Contractors
Work through defects without the paper war — and prove your own work.
Your client works with Open Experience? Then your access is free. Defects, deadlines and completion reports run digitally — and your finished work is documented instead of disappearing into email attachments.

What does participating in OX cost trade contractors?
Nothing. If your client works with Open Experience, you as a trade contractor receive free access: view and work through defects, report rectifications as complete with a photo, write daily reports on your own work. The platform is paid for by the client — the smoother the chain runs, the better for everyone involved.
From defect to completion report — without a fax
The defect arrives digitally
Instead of a collective list by fax: every defect with photo, plan position and deadline goes straight to your foreman's phone.
Finding the problem spot yourself
Location on the plan instead of "third room on the left, somewhere": your people find the spot without queries.
Done means done
Document the rectification, attach a photo, send the completion report — time stamp included. No debate about whether and when it was reported.
Your own evidence
Daily reports on your work secure your position in the event of disruptions and change orders.
Three tools, included in your access free of charge
As a trade contractor, you do not need the whole platform — just the three building blocks that document your work.
- Construction Defects Construction Defects — view defects, work through them, report them complete with a photo.
- Construction Photos Construction Photos — the photographic evidence of completed work, permanently retrievable.
- Construction Diary Construction Diary — your own daily reports for disruptions and change orders.
And if you are the client yourself?
Many trade contractors are both: subcontractor on one project, client of their own subs on another. Then it is worth looking at the full platform — with your own projects, your own defect management and free access for your subcontractors.
What subcontractors report
„Over the ongoing construction period, all construction-related topics such as remaining work, additional work and defect management can be handled transparently. Using tablets and smartphones, processing is quick and easy.“
- Access for defect processing, completion reports and daily reports — free of charge
- Runs on smartphone, tablet (iOS and Android) and in the browser — with offline mode
Frequently asked questions
What does access cost me as a subcontractor?
Nothing. Defect processing, completion reports and daily reports are free of charge if your client works with OX.
Do I need training?
No — the interface is designed for everyday construction-site use: photo, comment, done.
Which devices does it run on?
On smartphone and tablet (iOS and Android) as well as in the browser; when the connection is weak, the apps switch to offline mode automatically.
Can my client see what I document?
Role-based: your completion reports and daily reports are visible to those authorized — and that is exactly your evidence.
How do I get my access?
Your client invites you to the project, and your login details arrive by email.
