From the first defect to the final rectification notice: record defects on mobile with photo and plan location, assign them — and let the system handle reports, notices of defects and deadline tracking automatically.
Bau-Mängel is the defect management software 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 rectification 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 [BELEG: BIM-/GPS-Verortung präzisieren], select the trade and the responsible party — done. Freehand notes and voice input included. What used to take notepad, camera and Excel is now a single quick action.
Acceptance reports, defect lists and formally correct notices of defects are generated by the system from your records — with almost no rework, ready to send as PDF.
„Generating reports at the push of a button has become so effortless that acceptance inspections, report included, now take only a fraction of the time.“
Every reported defect gets its own deadline; the system reminds, escalates and documents the history. Subcontractors submit rectification notices via free accounts — the chain of evidence stays unbroken.
Bau-Mängel tracks defect claims across the entire warranty phase — limitation periods in view (VOB/B, the German standard construction contract terms: 4 years; BGB, the German Civil Code: 5 years), every warranty defect documented and assigned.
Works together with: Bau-Fotos (photo documentation), Bau-Tagebuch (daily site reports), Bau-Zeit (deadlines), DIGIBAU 360 (site walkthrough capture) — one project, no duplicate data entry.
Bau-Mängel 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 site managers, site supervisors (LPh 8), project controllers and general contractors — and for the contractors that rectify defects and document rectification notices.
