The Situation
Baufritz produces over 100 individually planned timber houses annually. Each project involves hundreds of documents: architectural plans, structural calculations, building permits, material certificates, and customer wishes.
As a traditional family business with over 125 years of history, many processes were paper-based. Plans were managed in physical folders, and changes were recorded by hand.
The growing demand for ecological construction required faster project turnaround times while simultaneously increasing documentation complexity.
Every house is a unique piece. When a customer requests a change during the planning phase, dozens of documents must be updated. This was once a nightmare.
