The best solutions on site for:
“Before upmesh, at some point we had too many tools in use at once. Either it was software we had chosen as project managers but that wasn't accepted by our site supervisors on site, or the applications were so rigid that we were too dependent on the vendor and ultimately stopped using them. upmesh solved these problems for us.”
“We mainly use upmesh as a project management app. Our internal and external communication runs smoothly through the upmesh ticket system. That makes project coordination with all the different trades so much easier and saves us countless emails and calls every day.”
“Light fixtures missing, drywalls not closed, site fence needs reinforcing. These are all small defects, short instructions, requests or notes that my site managers or I simply mark in the app, including the exact position on the digital construction plan, and assign to the relevant company. Everything is documented automatically in the app, and at the end of the day we have a complete daily report.”
“upmesh's plan management, including localization on the plan, makes our everyday work enormously easier. We manage a great many projects, so it helps to give the responsible colleagues access to the project and information on the current project status with a single click. Assigning a due date to every ticket has also proven extremely useful. That leaves no open questions about when a task has to be done and who is responsible.”
“In our day-to-day work, we really like using upmesh's time tracking. It's self-explanatory for all employees. For us, upmesh's simple operation was a major reason to buy. And if questions do come up, we always feel well looked after by the upmesh team – we were also very happy with the onboarding training.”
“We use upmesh's photo documentation every day. It's practical to be able to capture the progress of every project in photos. That way, we create daily reports right on site and simply handle the site documentation on mobile, right where it happens.”
“At some point, the constant phone calls with every construction site were driving me crazy. On top of that, 10 new emails land in the inbox, and eventually I didn't know whether I was coming or going. Thanks to upmesh's task management, that's so much easier now!”
agn digitizes hospital construction with upmesh
The agn Group, one of Germany's largest general planning firms, headquartered in Ibbenbüren, relies on upmesh for the conversion and expansion of the LWL-Klinik Lengerich. At €80 million, the project is not only one of the most significant hospital projects in the region but also technically demanding: heritage protection, complex processes, high requirements for safety and equipment.
To make all these components mesh smoothly, agn switched to the construction management app upmesh while the project was underway.

Niels Flick of Flick Ingenieurgemeinschaft
From developing entire residential areas and villages, to large infrastructure projects, to very specific and vital projects such as building flood protection systems. There is nothing Flick Ingenieurgemeinschaft can't plan and carry out. How much effort it takes to organize such mammoth projects perfectly hardly needs mentioning. Niels Flick, partner at Flick Ingenieurgemeinschaft, says of himself and his team:
“We plan, we question, and we see it as a positive challenge to keep working on ourselves, so that we can improve projects in terms of feasibility, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and intensity of intervention.”
Because the Flick team works across disciplines and always wants to deliver projects to its clients on budget and on schedule, the effort spent on communication and organization simply became too high.
Too many projects and project participants, and too little time to keep getting stuck in one jour fixe after another. Niels Flick then found the solution to the communication chaos and the lack of time in upmesh.
“We mainly use upmesh as a project management app. Our internal and external communication runs smoothly through the upmesh ticket system. That makes project coordination with all the different trades so much easier and saves us countless emails and calls every day.”
Broxtermann Garten- und Landschaftsbau GmbH & Co. KG
Broxtermann has stood for all things green since 1954, now in its third generation. From cemetery gardening and a flower shop to Garten- und Landschaftsbau GmbH & Co. KG. The “Broxtermänner” have kept developing their business and now run a thriving company in Osnabrück. Whether private, public or commercial clients, large or small projects, from consulting and planning to execution, Broxtermann is at its clients' side. Landscaping is a very visual field. Pragmatism matters too, but the focus is often on looks and aesthetics. So it's no surprise that Leo Broxtermann uses the photo documentation in the upmesh app every single day.
“We use upmesh's photo documentation every day. It's practical to be able to capture the progress of every project in photos. That way, we create daily reports right on site and simply handle the site documentation on mobile, right where it happens.”
— Leo Broxtermann, Managing Director
Since 2024, the photo documentation has enriched the Broxtermann team's everyday work and made it easier for all employees to create their daily reports.
Ehrenbrink Bau GmbH
Ehrenbrink Bau GmbH from Hagen a.T.W. was founded more than 120 years ago and supports its clients in every area of house building. From reinforced concrete work and masonry to basement waterproofing, the Ehrenbrink team is fully committed, with a love of the craft. They build new single-family homes and commercial buildings or renovate existing ones.
So much construction expertise needs a strong team – one that has to be coordinated properly.
To do this, Managing Director Helmut Gausmann brought our project management app into the company and became an upmesh customer. The pile of timesheets handed in by employees was no longer manageable, so digital time tracking became a new priority on his long to-do list. The upmesh team presented the app's various features to him, and he decided against more paperwork and in favor of upmesh's working time tracking:
“In our day-to-day work, we really like using upmesh's time tracking. It's self-explanatory for all employees. For us, upmesh's simple operation was a major reason to buy. And if questions do come up, we always feel well looked after by the upmesh team – we were also very happy with the onboarding training.”
— Helmut Gausmann, Managing Director
Since 2022, upmesh has been an indispensable part of the Ehrenbrink team's working day.
Customer success story:
As a grid operator, SWTE Netz GmbH & Co. KG ensures a secure electricity and natural gas supply for around 135,000 people in Hörstel, Hopsten, Ibbenbüren, Lotte, Mettingen, Recke and Westerkappeln.
Naturally, the network planning and asset management team needs good tools to keep track at all times of new construction, repair and maintenance work across a power distribution grid more than 4,000 kilometers long and a gas network of more than 1,300 kilometers. Precisely pinpointing and locating lines and supply facilities is essential so that construction projects can be completed successfully and the supply network can be developed in a future-proof way. The digital construction file has also proven itself in project management.
“upmesh's plan management, including localization on the plan, makes our everyday work enormously easier. We manage a great many projects, so it helps to give the responsible colleagues access to the project and information on the current project status with a single click. Assigning a due date to every ticket has also proven extremely useful. That leaves no open questions about when a task has to be done and who is responsible.”

Geser GmbH
For more than 70 years, Geser GmbH has combined tradition and the future. The grandfather of current Managing Director Markus Geser started out with a Hanomag for transport and earthworks. Since then, the family business has moved countless tons of earth in the Oberpfalz region. In recent decades, not only has the vehicle fleet grown immensely, the range of work has also become more diverse. Alongside earthworks and civil engineering, Geser GmbH today stands for quality in demolition, deconstruction, sewer and utility line construction and renovation, as well as for high-quality building materials. Anyone who thinks it's just big machines doing rough work is mistaken. Deconstruction in particular calls for precision. When industrial halls are dismantled piece by piece, it's not just the equipment that has to be operated with a delicate touch. Every team has to know exactly what the other team is doing. Every step has to be prepared perfectly. The coordination effort for projects like these shouldn't be underestimated. Markus Geser talks very honestly about his day-to-day project work and why he decided to use the upmesh app: “At some point, the constant phone calls with every construction site were driving me crazy. On top of that, 10 new emails land in the inbox, and eventually I didn't know whether I was coming or going. Thanks to upmesh's task management, that's so much easier now! I create a ticket and assign it directly to the right employee, including a photo and plan reference if needed. The documentation then runs through the same channel. Perfectly prepared in a form we've customized. That saves us constantly downloading photos from our phones and sending emails.” — Markus Geser, Managing Director Since 2022, Team Geser has coordinated all its projects with upmesh, saving not only a lot of time but also a good deal of stress.
Customer success story:
Since 1952, agn has been creating real added value for clients – today with more than 850 architects, engineers and specialists at 17 locations in Germany. As general planners, they support projects across all disciplines: from architecture and structural design to technical equipment (building services) through to landscape and interior design.
Whether healthcare buildings, schools, laboratory buildings or fire stations, agn delivers interdisciplinary and sustainable planning from a single source. All disciplines work closely together from the very start.
For exactly this kind of seamless interplay and the large number of people involved, agn needed a tool that takes the load off in everyday project work, especially on the construction site:
“Before upmesh, at some point we had too many tools in use at once. Either it was software we had chosen as project managers but that wasn't accepted by our site supervisors on site, or the applications were so rigid that we were too dependent on the vendor and ultimately stopped using them. upmesh solved these problems for us.”
“The app is easy to use, so it's accepted by all our site supervisors and the trades we look after. upmesh listens to customer requests, takes them seriously and implements them wherever possible. That way, the app keeps adapting to our needs. We handle almost all of our communication with everyone involved in construction through upmesh, run defect management and documentation (construction diary) through it, and we're also happy with the versioning feature in plan management.”
— Torsten Heywinkel, Managing Director, agn Group
BREITHAUPT ARCHITEKTEN
From reinventing a historic chapel, to converting regular apartments into barrier-free senior housing, to building a fire station and constructing various new clinics. Since 1953, BREITHAUPT ARCHITEKTEN have been planning and building everything of great social, ecclesiastical and industrial significance. The architecture firm always keeps an eye on the sustainable aspects of building and on energy requirements. Design plays a very big role too. They have already won the German Design Award twice: for a care home in Lemgo and for a townhouse in Salzkotten. In 2023, the 15-person team realized that with such a wide variety of very different projects, too much time was being lost on project management. Trapped in too many meetings and phone calls, frustrated by searching for the current document version, Benedikt Breithaupt quickly arrived at the solution: a smart project management tool was needed. After a short trial period, the Breithaupt team was quickly convinced: “Since we started using upmesh, we write far fewer emails, lose less time to constant phone calls and no longer have to worry about a construction diary. Light fixtures missing, drywalls not closed, site fence needs reinforcing. These are all small defects, short instructions, requests or notes that my site managers or I simply mark in the app, including the exact position on the digital construction plan, and assign to the relevant company. Everything is documented automatically in the app, and at the end of the day we have a complete daily report.” — Benedikt Breithaupt, Dipl.-Ing. & Architect
