Why is the fixed form the precondition for the AI to be of real help?

Because software can only help with what it can read. A note, a voice message and a photo in the chat contain a lot of knowledge, but no usable data. WERK turns the order around: first the fixed form, and after that everything else becomes possible. That is why acceptance is the entry point: the form is created there anyway.

Why does WERK start at acceptance?

Because number, state, photo and deadline are created there anyway: acceptance is the moment a company has to record its defects one way or another. If you like, you can also place the point on the plan. From there, the site diary, daily reports, appointments and documents build on the same data.

How do site management, the trades and the client coordinate?

Not through a group chat, but through the point itself. Every point carries its responsibility, its deadline and its state. Whoever is up next sees that in the notification bell and in the activity list of the project. All three parties work on the same thing, each with the access that belongs to their role.

How does WERK locate a defect on the plan?

Every point can be located on the floor plan — optional, not mandatory. WERK then places a pin with the point number exactly where the defect is. Anyone opening the plan sees the floor and the room without a single line of description. Pin and point list show the same number.

And if there is no signal on the building site?

Then you capture anyway. Points, photos and the location on the plan are created directly on the device and stay there, even without a connection. The plans of the project are loaded when opened and stay valid for 24 hours. As soon as the network returns, everything goes to the server by itself, in capture order.

Does this run on the phone just as it does in the office?

The same application, three situations: on the building site the phone captures defects and open items with photo and location, on the tablet acceptance runs with the plan in view, and in the office the desktop handles reports and access. No installation is needed; WERK runs in the browser and keeps recording even without a signal.

What does the assistant take over once a point has a fixed form?

The typing up. You say the defect once; the dictation becomes a filled-in proposal for category, building element, description, priority, deadline and responsibility. The assistant cannot save anything on its own: every change appears as a proposal with the fields concerned and is carried out only when you click. Without that click the data stays unchanged.

Which languages is WERK available in?

The application interface is currently available in German and French; each person sets their language in their own profile. This website is published in German, French, Italian and English. Within a project, the people involved can work in different languages.

One point instead of five different places

Why is one point enough where five different places are needed today?

Because the same defect turns up five times today: the photo on the phone, the deadline in the chat, the row in the spreadsheet, the plan in the folder and the acceptance report in the office that evening. In WERK it is created once — with number, location, plan position, category, responsibility, deadline and state — and then accompanies the whole process.

Typing it up again in the evening
The defect is in the notebook, then in the chat and later again in the list: the same work three times
The deadline in the group chat
In the group chat the date gets lost between photos and voice messages and only turns up when it is too late
Every spreadsheet looks different
The Excel list sits in several versions on several devices, and nobody knows which one currently applies
A photo without context
Hundreds of images sit on the phone, without a room, without a responsible person and without a deadline
Searching before acceptance
Shortly before the appointment a defects list is put together by hand from notes, chats and folders
I’ve never heard of it
The message never reached the tradesperson, and nobody can show afterwards where it got stuck

Overdue first
The AI suggests the next step

Eight scraps, no record. None of it can be filtered, analysed or passed on

One point, six fields. From here on everything else is just a query

Four steps

How does this work in practice?

In four steps. A point is captured on site, assigned to a responsible person, fixed with evidence and closed at the end. No extra work arises in between: number, category, location and deadline are created at capture, the state moves on by itself, and acceptance sums up what has been captured anyway.

What do you actually gain from it?

Time, clarity and evidence. The acceptance report is finished before you get back in the car. Nobody retypes anything in the evening. Everyone involved sees the same status instead of searching through photos, chats and emails. And every project follows the same way of working, even with ten of them open at once.

No installation, no reorganisation of the company

What is WERK and what can it do?

WERK is Swiss software for site management: a cockpit where points, plans, appointments, site diary, daily reports, documents and acceptances are connected instead of sitting side by side. Acceptance under SIA 118 is the strongest way in, not the whole scope. Seven roles govern access, and tenants are separated on the server alone.

How does acceptance under SIA 118 work in WERK?

Acceptance under SIA 118 freezes the defects list: the state on the day of acceptance is preserved, even if work continues afterwards. Buyers and site management sign directly on the device. From these details WERK produces the acceptance report as a PDF, with the description of the works, the date and all recorded defects.

Frozen defects list: The acceptance report shows the state on the day of acceptance. Later changes to a point no longer alter the signed document.
Signatures on the device: Buyers and site management sign on the screen, with place and date. The signature is saved as an image in the acceptance report.
Acceptance report as a PDF: Acceptance produces a PDF with header data, defects list and signatures — ready to file and to send.

Join the waitlist

How do you get on the waitlist?

Your figures are in. In a call, we check them against a live project and show how much of that holds up in daily work.

Send us two sentences about what you have in mind, and we put you on the waitlist. We add new companies step by step: as soon as a place opens up for you, we get in touch personally, set up your company and accompany you through the first project; your logo is added afterwards.

Request and conversation: Name, email address and one or two sentences are enough; then, in fifteen minutes, we clarify whether WERK fits your projects
Start with acceptance: Access for your company, first project, participants invited by link; the invitation link is valid for seven days
Expansion: Logo, colours, custom project types and building elements are added, then the site diary and the daily report
