Ausbauwerk
The complete operating system for drywall and interior fit-out companies: timestamped photos of the open wall, fire-rating in the customer file, replanning mode for the trade between the trades, project files with instalments, crews and time clock.
No more paper notes, magnet boards and Excel
No trade is timed between all the others like drywall: the electrician isn’t done, the screed isn’t ready — and in the end the real work disappears behind the second layer of boarding. Ausbauwerk brings photo documentation, dispatch with replanning mode, project files, equipment logistics, time tracking and invoicing together in one system: built for the everyday work of drywall and interior fit-out companies.
Photograph before the wall closes — or nobody will believe later what’s inside.
Drywall software that reflects the real workday
No trade is timed between all the others like drywall and interior fit-out: stud walls, ceilings, attic conversions, soundproofing, fire-rated boarding — and in the end the real work disappears behind the second layer. Ausbauwerk was built for exactly this routine: software for drywall businesses that works as well in the shell build as at the desk.
Photographed before the wall closes
In drywall, the quality sits where nobody sees it afterwards: insulation, the services cavity, the double layer for F90. Ausbauwerk makes the invisible work provable — the timestamped photo of the open wall hangs on the appointment, the fire-rating requirement sits in the customer file and travels into the tour view, and “first boarding + electrical coordination” is its own checklist step: the wall only closes once the box is ticked. If anyone asks later, the proof lives in the file.
The trade between the trades
The electrician isn’t done, the screed isn’t ready, the material arrives tomorrow? Replanning mode moves all appointments of a day in one go, crew assignments stay — and the dispatch board shows via drag & drop which property the crew brings forward instead. No lost day. Bigger jobs like attic conversions and shop fit-outs run through the project file: actual hours against budget, instalments numbered automatically, the final invoice offsetting itself — with XRechnung for general contractors and public-sector clients plus DATEV export for the tax adviser.
Logistics that thinks ahead
The room height sits in the customer file — stilts or platform, the crew knows before setting off. Panel lifter and long-neck sander live in the equipment park with availability warnings: nothing sits at the wrong site, and maintenance dates remind you by themselves. Billing follows the measurement: per-m² positions from the template — F90 wall double-boarded €96/m², suspended ceiling €74/m² —, the invoice is created straight from the appointment after the sign-off signature.
Who is Ausbauwerk made for?
For drywall and interior fit-out companies with one or several crews: stud walls, ceilings, attic conversions, soundproofing and fire-rated boarding — and for every business that paces itself between preceding trades and has to prove its work. Whether 3 or 30 employees, the price stays the same, because Ausbauwerk never charges per user. To get started we recommend the subscription plan from €49.90 per month — whole team included, no per-user fees.

- Rent flexibly or own it — With the rental you stay flexible — updates and support included, and on request fully hosted by us in the managed package. And if you prefer to own: when you buy, you run the software on your own web space, with no price hikes and no vendor pulling the plug on you.
- White-label included — Login, app name and interface carry your company name. For your team it is “their” software from the very first login — and your invoices carry your own letterhead.
- Extensible as you grow — Cleanly built and modular by design: modules can be switched off individually, and additional wishes — from quoting to a client portal — are implemented as extensions at a fixed price.

Frequently asked questions
What does Ausbauwerk cost?
With Ausbauwerk you pick one of three plans — Basis €59.90/month (€49.90 billed yearly) for up to 5 employees, Pro €114.90 (€94.90 yearly) for up to 15 employees, Premium €199.90 (€169.90 yearly) for unlimited employees. Hosting, updates and support are always included, and you can switch anytime. Project files and invoicing are included in every variant, and you never pay per user.
Can I prove what’s inside the wall?
Yes — that is what Ausbauwerk is built for: timestamped photos per work step before the boarding goes on — insulation, services cavity, first layer. Everything hangs on the appointment and lives permanently in the customer history. If years later anyone asks what’s behind the board, the proof is in the file.
What if the preceding trade isn’t finished?
That is when replanning mode kicks in: all appointments of a day move in one go, crew assignments stay — and the dispatch board shows via drag & drop which property the crew brings forward instead. No lost day, no reshuffling chaos.
Can I invoice fit-out projects in instalments?
Yes — through the project file: instalments are numbered automatically (1st instalment, 2nd instalment …), and the final invoice offsets all issued instalments by itself — cleanly itemised, compliant, no pocket calculator. Actual hours run live against the budget.
Does Ausbauwerk warn me about double-booked equipment?
Yes — when creating an appointment, Ausbauwerk checks whether the panel lifter, long-neck sander or platform is already scheduled on another property the same day and warns immediately. Warning instead of blocking: you decide. The dashboard widget also shows where each kit stands today.
Can I write invoices with Ausbauwerk?
Yes — invoicing is a core feature, not a paid add-on. Invoices are created straight from the completed appointment, right after the sign-off signature if you wish, with per-m² positions from the service template. Invoice numbers are compliant and gap-free, the number range is freely configurable — existing businesses continue seamlessly from their last number. Plus: PDF with your own letterhead, open items, payment reminders and dunning with one click. If you prefer to work without the invoicing module, simply hide it.
Does Ausbauwerk support XRechnung?
Yes — invoices can be exported as officially validated XRechnung e-invoices. Especially with general contractors, commercial clients and the public sector, that puts you on the safe side. Dispatch goes straight from the system by email, via your own SMTP server or SendGrid.
Does my tax adviser get the data?
Yes, with one click: the DATEV export produces the posting batch plus all document PDFs for the chosen period — ready to hand over to the firm.
What do I need to run Ausbauwerk?
A completely normal web hosting package with PHP and a MySQL database — no special server, no forced cloud. We handle installation and setup. And with the fully managed package you need nothing at all: Ausbauwerk then runs entirely on our servers.
Can I test Ausbauwerk beforehand?
Yes — the live demo is open to everyone: a complete installation with a sample company, two crews, 10 kits, priced templates and a running fit-out project including an issued instalment invoice. Tap “Als Chef testen” (test as boss) on the login page, done. The demo resets itself every 30 minutes. And if you want to compare several trades: the demo hub at demos.pixagentur.com shows all live demos at a glance.
Does it work on the iPad and without reception?
Yes. Ausbauwerk is a web app (PWA) with an app icon on the home screen. The time clock and daily tour work even in shell builds without reception and sync as soon as the network returns.
Does the software run under my company name?
Yes — white-label is included. Login, app name and business details carry your company, and your invoices appear on your own letterhead.
What about data protection?
Your customer and employee data lives on your own server — not in someone else's cloud. Roles and permissions control who sees what, an audit log documents changes, and uploaded photos are automatically stripped of GPS data.
Can Ausbauwerk be adapted or extended for my company?
Yes. Modules can be switched off individually, and from extra fields to entire extensions — such as quoting or a client portal — we build additions on request at a fixed price. The fastest way is our ticket system: describe your wish and we reply with a fixed-price quote.
Is there a discount for founders and young businesses?
Yes, gladly. Just building up your drywall business? Then our founder promo applies: 15 % off any plan for the first 12 months. From month 13 the regular price applies. Just mention in your inquiry that you founded recently.
Zahle ich pro Nutzer?
Nein. Der Preis gilt pauschal pro Betrieb bis zur Team-Grenze deines Pakets (Basis 5, Pro 15, Premium unbegrenzt) — keine Nutzerlizenzen, keine versteckten Kosten pro Mitarbeiter.
Wie kann ich kündigen?
Das Monats-Abo kannst du zum Ende jedes Monats kündigen, das Jahres-Abo zum Ende der Laufzeit — direkt in deiner Mitgliedschaft, kein Anruf nötig.
Gibt es eine Testphase?
14 Tage kostenlos testen, danach jederzeit kündbar. Keine automatische Abbuchung ohne dein Okay.
Wo liegen meine Daten?
Auf deiner eigenen Instanz mit eigener Datenbank, gehostet auf deutschen Servern. Deine Daten werden nicht mit anderen Kunden geteilt.
Welche Zahlarten gibt es?
