Construction Defect Management Software: Resolve Issues Efficiently
Defect management on the construction site with Excel or Word is tedious and time-consuming. Now you can integrate your defect processing seamlessly into your project management!
BauMaster as your construction defect management software & app lets you record defects, create snagging lists, and track fixes – all efficiently and legally compliant.

Using Our Construction Defect Management Software
Especially on construction sites, where many trades are working at the same time, coordination, transparency and reliable information are crucial. This is where BauMaster comes in: our software for fault recording and processing allows all construction site processes to be seamlessly integrated.
The project-specific owner and tenant contacts along with the practical unit linking greatly simplify defect processing during handover for all project participants.
In the best case, construction defects do not arise in the first place. And if they do, they can be quickly and easily remedied – BauMaster’s digital defect management consists of three simple steps:
1. Recording Construction Defects
Record defects directly during the inspection: simply open the app on your smartphone or tablet, select the snagging list, and capture the construction fault.
- Use speech-to-text, voice memos or handwriting recognition
- Add photos, comments and sketches, assign levels and units
- Set plan or BIM markers for precise location
- Use series function for repetitive information
The software provides a legally complete compliant defect report without the need for rework in the office.
2. Assign Tasks and Defects
You can forward the completed snagging list immediately to all responsible contractors via BauMaster.
- Save the defect report in the software as a PDF and send it directly
- Request a read receipt if desired
- All faults automatically appear in the task overview
Contractors can keep an eye on their tasks with the free Teamworker licence.
3. Track Remediation Progress
After reporting a defect, you can track the current status with the practical status function.
- Construction defects are clearly marked as open or completed (red/green colored status)
- All parties involved can see the current status
- The snagging list can be accessed at any time at the push of a button
After completion of the defect processing, information remains securely stored for the long term.

Why Is Digital Defect Management Essential in Construction?
Unfortunately, faults are not uncommon in everyday construction work: Spontaneous changes in execution, weather conditions or defective materials are just a few of the causes. Even with the best planning and monitoring, it is impossible to completely rule out defects. The only thing that helps is fast, uncomplicated default management.
Inspecting defects with a piece of paper, a pen and a digital camera is no longer up to date: too much time and information is lost between the construction site and the office. Those who switch to defect management software for construction will be able to coordinate directly from the construction site in the future. You will save numerous hours of work, document more completely, and ensure that defects are reduced overall and eliminated more efficiently.
Process Defects in Record Time
Anyone who has ever had to work through an Excel list with hundreds of faults knows how time-consuming this can be. Especially when you would rather be thinking about your next project.
With construction defect management software, you save yourself the hassle of duplicating work: nothing has to be noted down by hand, everything is entered directly into the software’s fault log.
Write a log entry, take a photo, add comments, save and send: in no time at all, construction defects are documented in a legally compliant manner.
Construction Phase Quality Assurance
Foundations, pipes and cables, ducting, etc. – especially for components that will no longer be visible later on, a defect inspection with thorough photo documentation is essential. This ensures that it is possible to verify whether all work has been carried out in accordance with the law.
Defects management with BauMaster becomes a quality feature for architects, site managers and civil engineers.
Enhanced Construction Process Transparency
Fault management places high demands on project managers. In addition to coordination, communication must also be effective: if each tradesperson uses different channels (telephone, WhatsApp, e-mail, verbally, etc.), chaos quickly ensues. Optimal defect processing requires a central information point and uniform communication channels.
BauMaster combines all information and participants in one platform – for your perfect overview.
What Makes BauMaster the Right Defect Management Software for Construction?
The management of defects extends throughout the entire project and beyond – with a correspondingly high potential for optimisation. So what are the advantages of using defect management software such as BauMaster?
Benefits of defect management with BauMaster
Whether it is the recording and reporting of defects, the allocation of tasks, communication or the monitoring of rectifications – BauMaster combines everything in one place. This offers numerous advantages:
- A complete overview and greater transparency
- Less duplication of work and less wasted time
- Better cooperation between the construction team and project managers
- Seamless documentation of all faults
Word and Excel vs. a defect management app
Defect reports in Word/Excel are still the tool of choice for many project managers. But they can’t compete with a construction defect management software:
- Constant new file versions almost always lead to misunderstandings.
- Word/Excel documents cannot be processed offline or on the road.
- Construction companies have to laboriously search for their tasks in the documents; there is no filterable task overview and no status traffic light.
- Adding photos, sketches, etc. takes longer – you won’t find any convenience functions such as the serial mode.
- Plan markers for precise localisation are missing.
- Word/Excel are isolated solutions – without the possibility of communication, integrated contact management or automatic storage in the project folder.
To summarise: Word and Excel will soon be obsolete in the construction industry. With BauMaster, defect management is transformed from a time-consuming chore to a secondary task that you can complete ‘in passing’!
