Three phases - one platform

From planning to handover - digitally accompanied.

Site managers, supervising engineers, general contractors and joint-venture coordinators all ask different questions at different stages - and they need different answers. DOCby.net delivers both on one platform. Mobile capture on site, web-based analytics in the back office. Site-manager software that grows with your project.

Phase 1
Planning & tendering

Plan management, tender documents, subcontractor files - structured, released and distributed before construction starts.

  • Plan versioning

What we do for you

Six typical use cases - from 25 years on the construction site.

Whether you are a site manager, general contractor or project controller: each role gets its own set of workflows. Here is a selection of the most frequent use cases drawn from real construction projects - from buildings through civil and structural engineering to refurbishment.

01

Site management

Daily construction diary, crew and equipment deployment, weather, incidents - audit-proof in one app. No Excel, no paper.

02

Construction supervision

Walk the site with a tablet: photograph the defect, pin it on the plan, set a deadline, assign to the subcontractor - all in one step.

03

General contractor

Coordinate multiple trades, keep deadlines across all subcontractors under control, automate escalation rules.

04

Joint-venture coordination

Multiple partner companies, one truth: a shared defect list, shared reports, separate views per role and tenant.

05

Refurbishment & existing assets

Capture existing assets with photo and plan, damage register, remediation plan, CapEx forecast - ideal for TDD and portfolios.

06

Key handover

Digital acceptance records, remaining items with deadline, user induction logged - handover without clipboard chaos.

Recommended solutions for construction

These are the modules construction companies and contractors deploy most often.

All solutions share the DOC.mobile framework: common master data, roles and interfaces. They can be rolled out individually or combined into a full suite. On request, we extend it with your own solution on the same foundation.

Looking for construction software with an API?

DOCby.net ships a REST API to SAP, MS Project, cost-management software (iTWO, ARRIBA), BIM tools (IFC), Sharepoint and common ERP systems. Your site-manager software stays integrated with the rest of your application landscape - no data silos.

Voices from construction

What site managers say about DOCby.net.

Site management - buildings

"With the construction diary app my foreman saves an hour a day - and I have the documentation on my desk in the evening without needing to chase anybody. The defect list maintains itself in passing."

"For large projects such as the A20 Coastal Motorway, which depend on close collaboration with external service providers, the use of DOC.project as a data repository and for data exchange is essential for us!"

Defect management - buildings

"From day one we had a fully functional system at our disposal - no onboarding delays. The recorded defects could be processed very efficiently thanks to the automatic assignment of photos. That is what distinguishes this system; in the past, doing it by hand was extremely tedious."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about construction software

Is DOCby.net just a construction diary app or more?

Both. You can start with the Construction Diary module and later add defect management, 360° photo documentation, SiGeKo and project communication. All modules share master data, permissions and interfaces.

Does the site-manager software work offline?

Yes. All mobile apps work offline. Defects, photos and diary entries are stored locally and synchronise automatically as soon as the connection is restored - in the basement, in the underground car park, out on the greenfield.

Which interfaces are available for construction projects?

REST API to SAP, MS Project, cost-management software (e.g. iTWO, ARRIBA), DMS systems (Sharepoint, M-Files), CAD/BIM tools (IFC, plan versioning) and common ERP systems. Custom connectors we build ourselves when needed.

How quickly is the software up and running?

Starting from one of our standard solutions - in production within 5 days. Including workflow tailoring, training of first users and a supervised pilot phase. Details on DOC.mobile Suite.

Are the records audit-proof and compliant with German GoBD?

Yes. Audit-proof history, tamper-evident signing, GoBD-compliant export. Hosting in our ISO-27001-certified data centre in Germany. On request also on-premise.

How does licensing work?

Usage-based per user or a flat rate per project - depending on size and term. For major projects we offer project licences with an unlimited number of users. Get in touch via the contact page.
