Best for: Site teams recording defects, handover and documentation
PlanRadar is a Viennese construction platform built around one motion: stand in the building, tap the spot on the drawing, photograph the problem, assign it. From that it produces the defect lists, handover reports and documentation the project is ultimately judged on.
It works the way a site works. Everything is anchored to a position on a plan rather than a row in a list, it functions with no signal in a basement, and a subcontractor can be given access without a training course. That is why it spread across Europe organically rather than arriving as an enterprise rollout.
PlanRadar is headquartered in Vienna and operates across dozens of countries with European hosting, covering defects and snags on drawings and BIM models, site diaries, inspections and checklists, and automatic report generation. Subcontractor access is licensed more cheaply than full users, which is what makes site-wide adoption viable.
What PlanRadar does well
- Observations pinned to the drawing or BIM model
- Works fully offline on site
- Cheap subcontractor access
- Automatic report generation
- Site diaries, inspections and checklists
- Austrian company, European hosting
Where PlanRadar falls short
- Not a progress or commercial control tool
- No tendering functionality
- Per-user pricing across a large office team
- Feature depth below Thinkproject for large programmes
Standout feature. Tap the drawing, photograph, assign — and the handover report writes itself.

Best for: Contractors who want the model usable by the people on site
Dalux is a Danish construction platform built by two brothers around one idea: that the building model should be usable by the person standing in the building, on a phone, without training — not only by the coordinator at a workstation.
The mobile BIM viewer is genuinely why people choose it. Dalux renders large federated models on ordinary phones and ties a defect, a photo or a checklist to the exact spot in the model, which is what turns a model from a design artefact into something a site foreman opens. Defect and snag management, quality and safety checklists and document control sit around it, and a facility management module inherits the model at handover.
Dalux is headquartered in Copenhagen, founded in 2005 and still owned and led by its founders. The Field app is free for unlimited users on a project, which is what gets subcontractors onto it — the part where most construction platforms quietly fail.
What Dalux does well
- Large BIM models usable on an ordinary phone
- Field app free for unlimited users, so subcontractors join
- Defects and checklists anchored in the model
- Facility management inherits the model at handover
- Danish company, founder-owned, EU jurisdiction
Where Dalux falls short
- Commercial and cost management is not its strength
- Paid modules needed beyond the free field app
- Best value when the project genuinely runs on BIM
- Fewer finance integrations than the cost-led platforms
Standout feature. BIM that reaches the site, not just the design office.

Best for: Infrastructure and large building projects with many parties
Thinkproject is a Munich-based common data environment for construction and infrastructure: the single place where drawings, models, correspondence and approvals live across every organisation working on a project.
On a large project the expensive failures are informational. Someone builds to a superseded drawing; a claim cannot be evidenced two years later. Thinkproject's value is the auditable record across parties, which is why it appears on European infrastructure programmes rather than on single builds.
Thinkproject is headquartered in Munich with European hosting and a strong position in DACH, the Nordics and the UK, covering document and drawing control with revision management, BIM coordination, contract, claim and defect management, health and safety workflows, and asset handover into operations.
What Thinkproject does well
- Common data environment across organisations
- Drawing revision control with an audit trail
- BIM coordination and model management
- Contract and claim management
- Handover into asset operations
- Strong public infrastructure track record
Where Thinkproject falls short
- Enterprise pricing quoted per programme
- Heavier than a single building project needs
- Implementation is a project in itself
- Less immediate on site than PlanRadar
Standout feature. One auditable record across every organisation on the project, revision by revision.

Best for: German contractors digitising the site diary and defect process
CAPMO is a Munich platform for construction site coordination — site diaries, defects, tasks and documentation — built specifically around German construction practice and the documentation obligations that come with it.
The fit is local. The Bautagebuch is a legal document in Germany with expectations about what it records and when, and a platform designed around that produces something a client and a court will accept, where a translated product produces a report someone then rewrites.
CAPMO is based in Munich with German hosting, covering digital site diaries with weather and workforce logging, defect management on drawings, task coordination across trades, photo documentation and automatically generated reports. Subcontractor access is priced separately so the whole site can participate.
What CAPMO does well
- Site diary built for German practice
- Defects pinned to drawings
- Weather and workforce logging included
- Subcontractor access priced separately
- German hosting
Where CAPMO falls short
- German and Austrian market focus
- Smaller than PlanRadar internationally
- No tendering or progress control
- Reporting formats tuned to DACH conventions
Standout feature. A Bautagebuch that satisfies the obligation instead of a site diary that resembles one.

Best for: Large repetitive builds — residential blocks, fit-out, infrastructure
Sablono is a Berlin platform for tracking construction progress at the level of individual activities across thousands of repeating units: every flat, every room, every element, and what stage each one has reached.
It answers the question large repetitive projects cannot otherwise answer honestly: what percentage is genuinely complete. Because progress is recorded per activity per unit, commercial reporting and payment applications rest on observed status rather than on a subcontractor's estimate.
Sablono is based in Berlin with European hosting, supporting lean and last-planner workflows and quality checklists tied to progress. It is subscribed per project rather than per seat, which suits a model where hundreds of site people need access for the duration of a build and none afterwards.
What Sablono does well
- Activity-level progress across thousands of units
- Commercial reporting built on observed status
- Lean and last-planner workflows
- Quality checklists tied to progress
- Per-project rather than per-seat pricing
Where Sablono falls short
- Only pays off on repetitive projects
- Requires disciplined activity definition upfront
- Not a defect or site diary tool
- Narrower than a general platform
Standout feature. Percentage complete as an observed fact rather than a negotiated estimate.

Best for: Contractors whose commercial team lives in the cost report
Archdesk is construction management software built around the commercial side of a project: cost value reconciliation, valuations, retentions and variations — the reporting a contractor's quantity surveyor produces every month.
Most construction platforms are strongest on the field and weakest on the ledger, leaving the commercial team in spreadsheets. Archdesk inverts that: CVR, applications for payment and retention tracking are first-class, so the monthly cost report comes out of the same system that holds the site records. Workflows are configurable rather than fixed, which is what the implementation work buys.
Archdesk is headquartered in London with an office in Kraków. The United Kingdom sits outside the EEA, so transfers are covered by the adequacy decision rather than by EU jurisdiction directly — worth knowing for a European contractor comparing it with the Danish and German options here.
What Archdesk does well
- CVR and cost control as first-class features
- Configurable workflows rather than a fixed process
- Procurement and subcontractor packages included
- Programme and resource scheduling in the same system
- Strong fit for UK contracting practice
Where Archdesk falls short
- United Kingdom, so adequacy rather than EEA jurisdiction
- Configuration means an implementation project
- Field tooling is weaker than the BIM-led platforms
- Priced per user, so wide site access costs more
Standout feature. The monthly cost report generated from the same data as the site records.

Best for: French contractors and project managers on site
BulldozAIR is a Paris platform for construction field collaboration: punch lists, site observations, photo documentation and reporting, designed for use on a phone in a half-built building with no signal.
It is built around French construction practice and language — the réserves, the OPR process, the report formats a French maître d'ouvrage expects. That local fit is worth more on a French site than a longer feature list translated from American workflows.
BulldozAIR is headquartered in Paris with European hosting, covering observations pinned to plans, offline-capable mobile capture, annotation tools, automatic report generation and task assignment across the companies on the project.
What BulldozAIR does well
- Built for French practice and terminology
- Offline mobile capture
- Observations pinned to plans
- Automatic report generation
- Cross-company task assignment
Where BulldozAIR falls short
- Primarily a French-market product
- Smaller than PlanRadar internationally
- No progress or tendering modules
- Fewer integrations than the larger platforms
Standout feature. Réserves and OPR reports in the form a French client actually signs off.

Best for: Contractors and developers running subcontractor tenders
Cosuno is a Berlin platform for the tendering phase specifically: packaging the work, inviting subcontractors, collecting and comparing bids, and awarding — the part of construction still largely run through email attachments and spreadsheets.
It targets the stage where the money is actually decided. Its subcontractor network means invitations reach firms outside the buyer's usual list, and structured bid comparison makes it visible when the cheapest offer has quietly excluded half the scope.
Cosuno is based in Berlin with German hosting. Subcontractors participate without a licence, which is what makes the network function, and the whole procurement leaves an audit trail — useful in a stage that otherwise lives in individual inboxes.
What Cosuno does well
- Covers the tendering stage specifically
- Subcontractor network beyond your usual list
- Structured side-by-side bid comparison
- Audit trail across the procurement
- Subcontractors participate without a licence
Where Cosuno falls short
- Does nothing once the site starts
- German market focus
- Value depends on network coverage in your trades
- Subscription scaled by tender volume
Standout feature. Bid comparison that exposes the scope the cheapest offer quietly left out.
