Every photo knows where and when it was taken.
Shot, time stamp, location assignment, trade — automatic. Construction progress is documented continuously and remains traceable years later: the basis of evidence when it matters.
Construction Photos: the photo diary of your site. Located, time-stamped, findable.
Thousands of construction site photos are worthless if the one you need is missing — or nobody knows where it is. Construction Photos automatically assigns every shot to location, time and project and makes it findable again in seconds.

What is Construction Photos?
Construction Photos is the photo-based construction documentation by Open Experience: construction site photos are taken on mobile or imported, automatically given a time stamp and location assignment, annotated with markings and filed in the project. The built-in AI (DIGISCHUTZ) pixelates people and faces automatically — GDPR-compliant documentation without rework.
DIGISCHUTZ: the AI that makes your photos GDPR-proof.
People and faces are detected and pixelated automatically — you document the construction site, not the people on it. The AI also detects laser distance meters and construction objects, supporting assignment and analysis.

Mark up, comment, share.
Markings and notes directly on the image, external partners see only released shots. From photo to defect is one click — seamlessly into Construction Defects.
„All defects and images are captured directly on the construction site, and thanks to automatic PDF generation the notices of defects can be produced and sent professionally with virtually no post-processing.“
Works together with: Construction Defects (photo → defect), Construction Diary (photos in the daily report), DIGIBAU 360 and Construction Webcam (automatic image sources — the construction site that documents itself).

Frequently asked questions
What does Construction Photos cost?
Construction Photos is part of our transparent packages — we publish all prices openly on our pricing page (/en/preise/).
How is Construction Photos different from the phone gallery?
Gallery photos have no project context: no plan location, no trade assignment, no team visibility, no chain of evidence. Construction Photos delivers exactly that.
Is the pixelation automatic?
Yes — automatic pixelation of people directly in the system (detection of people and faces).
Can I import photos from 360° captures?
Yes — DIGIBAU 360 walkthroughs and webcam images flow into the same project documentation; the Construction Photos app even controls the DIGIBAU captures.
Where are the images stored?
Made & hosted in Germany: servers located in Germany, GDPR-compliant, daily backups.
Does it work on mobile and offline?
Yes — apps for Apple and Android devices with an offline mode for the relevant areas; contractors use the app or browser for free.
