The interior fit-out cockpit · Interior Fit-out & Drywall
Ausbauwerk — the drywall software for office, crews and site
One system for the whole fit-out business. Drywall buries its own evidence: once the second layer of boarding goes up, nobody can check what's behind it unless someone photographed it first. Ausbauwerk does that automatically, keeps fire-rating in the customer file, gives the trade squeezed between other trades a replanning mode, and tracks fit-out jobs through project files with instalments.

No more paper notes, magnet boards and Excel
No trade waits on everyone else the way drywall does: the electrician isn't finished, the screed isn't ready, and by the time the second layer of boarding goes up, the actual work is buried for good. Ausbauwerk ties photo documentation, dispatch with replanning mode, project files, equipment logistics, time tracking and invoicing into one system, built around how drywall and interior fit-out companies actually work.
“Photograph before the wall closes. Otherwise nobody will believe you later about what's inside.”
A working day with Ausbauwerk
From the first coffee to closing time: this is what daily work feels like.
-
06:45
A look at the dispatch board
In the office building the electrician isn't done, so the second boarding layer moves via replanning mode and the crew brings the suspended ceiling in the retail unit forward instead. No day lost.
-
07:10
The crews grab their iPad
“My tour today” shows each crew its properties, complete with property data (F90 required! Room height 3.20 m, pack the stilts) and the packing list: panel lifter, collated screw gun, cross-line laser.
-
09:30
On site
Tick off the checklist: mark out axes, UW/CW profiles, first boarding + electrical coordination, insulation, second boarding, Q2 finishing. Before the wall closes, one thing still happens: the timestamped photo.
-
14:30
Section signed off
The site manager signs right on the iPad, and the instalment goes out with one click from the project file, numbered automatically.
-
15:40
Material in view
The crew reports via comment: “boards won't last until tomorrow, order 20 more.” The note lands at the office as rework, ordered within two minutes.
-
16:30
End of the day
Clock out. The hours are booked to the project, and the daily wrap-up shows actual vs budget: the job is on plan.

All features at a glance
Eleven areas, one system: this is everything inside.
Photo Documentation & Fire-Rating Proof
- Timestamped photo of the open wall on the appointment: insulation in, electrical conduits laid, first boarding fixed to F90 spec. If anyone asks later, the proof lives in the file
- Fire-rating requirement in the customer file: F30 or F90 sits on the property and travels into the tour view, so the crew never installs the wrong board
- Checklists pace the trades: “first boarding + electrical coordination” is its own step, and the wall only closes once the box is ticked
- Sign-off with the site manager's signature on the iPad, saved on the appointment
- Chronological customer history: every visit with photos, permanently findable
- Audit log: every change traceable, who, when, what
- Roles & permission matrix, secure logins, photos automatically stripped of GPS data
Replanning & Trade Sequencing

Drywall software that reflects the real workday
No trade waits on everyone else like drywall and interior fit-out: stud walls, ceilings, attic conversions, soundproofing, fire-rated boarding, and by the time the second layer of boarding goes up, the actual work is buried for good. Ausbauwerk was built for exactly that 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 that 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, so the wall only closes once that box is ticked. If anyone asks later, the proof is already 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, with actual hours tracked against budget, instalments numbered automatically and the final invoice offsetting itself, plus XRechnung for general contractors and public-sector clients and DATEV export for the tax adviser.
Logistics that thinks ahead
The room height sits in the customer file, stilts or platform, so the crew knows before setting off. Panel lifter and long-neck sander live in the equipment park with availability warnings, so 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), and 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 any business that paces itself between preceding trades and has to prove its work afterwards. Team size doesn't change the price: Ausbauwerk bills per company, whether that's 3 people or 30. Most start on the Basis package from €49.90 per month and move up to Pro at €94.90 once invoicing, projects and the route planner are needed.
Frequently asked questions
What does Ausbauwerk cost?
Ausbauwerk comes as a subscription in three packages, hosting, updates and support always included: Basis at €49.90 per month (up to 5 employees), Pro at €94.90 (up to 15 employees, our most popular package) and Premium at €169.90 (unlimited employees, every add-on module included). Prices apply with annual billing, plus VAT; billed monthly they're €59.90, €114.90 or €199.90. Basis and Pro customers can add the customer portal (+€19.90), the Agentur package (+€39.90) and the Einsatz package (+€29.90 per month) individually; Premium already has it all. Project files and invoicing come with the Pro package, and you never pay per user.
Can I prove what's inside the wall?
That's the whole point of Ausbauwerk: 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, so if anyone asks years later what's behind the board, the proof is already in the file.
What if the preceding trade isn't finished?
That's 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 the whole time.
Does Ausbauwerk warn me about double-booked equipment?
It does. When you create an appointment, Ausbauwerk checks whether the panel lifter, long-neck sander or platform is already scheduled on another property that day and warns you immediately. It's a warning, not a block, so you still decide. The dashboard widget also shows where each kit stands today.
Can I write invoices with Ausbauwerk?
Invoicing is a core feature here, 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, and existing businesses continue seamlessly from their last number. There's also a PDF with your own letterhead, open items, and payment reminders and dunning with one click. 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. That matters especially with general contractors, commercial clients and the public sector. 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 use Ausbauwerk?
Just a browser. Ausbauwerk runs as your own instance with its own database on German servers, and hosting, updates and support are part of every package. We handle setup and data migration; you receive your login and get started. Prefer to run the software on your own server, or buy it outright? Custom solutions are available on request.
Can I test Ausbauwerk beforehand?
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. 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?
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 in your own instance with its own database on German servers, GDPR-compliant and strictly separated from other companies. 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, quoting or a client portal among them, we build additions on request at a fixed price. Fastest way: describe your wish through our ticket system and we reply with a fixed-price quote.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. You only pay the package price: no per-user licences, no setup fee, no extra charges for updates or support. Setup and data migration from your current solution are included as well. The only addition is statutory VAT, and you can cancel monthly.
