Open spaces under § 39: cost group 500, fee under § 40.
Garden and landscape design with its own service profile under HOAI (the German fee scale for architects and engineers): service phases 1 to 9, chargeable costs from outdoor facilities and open spaces. Structify calculates the fee and accompanies the execution outdoors.
Five places where time is lost today.
Site documentation
TodayPlanting and paving work recorded on the notepad, typed into a Word document later.
With StructifyYou dictate the site inspection on site, even without signal. Structify recognizes defects, tasks, rooms and trades and turns them into a structured report as a PDF; every suggestion stays labeled and correctable.
Go to module: Site inspectionTask management
TodayAgreements with the landscaping contractor by shout and phone, open points in the inbox.
With StructifyEvery task is a ticket with responsibility, deadline and status, pinned on the drawing if you wish. You invite external parties to the ticket via a guest link; they take no user seat.
Go to module: Defect managementScheduling
TodayPlanting seasons and construction stages in MS Project or Excel, dependent on the building works but kept separately.
With StructifyThe construction schedule shows activities per trade with the critical path, tickets carry deadlines in calendar and bar chart, and the dashboard lists the deadlines of the next 14 days, in the same project as defects and reports.
Go to module: See StructifyCost control
TodayHours and costs in Excel, reports in Word, coverage per phase unknown.
With StructifyCost states under DIN 276 from the cost estimate (service phase 2) to the production costs (service phase 8), hours worked per service phase against the target fee with coverage ratio and traffic light, plus an early warning per project.
Go to module: See StructifyInvoices

One project, three sentences.
A landscape architecture practice designs the outdoor facilities of a housing estate, fee zone III, service phases 1 to 9. The cost calculation of cost group 500 provides the chargeable costs, Structify interpolates the fee under Section 13 and spreads it across the phases. The acceptance of the planting areas is dictated on site, defects go as tickets to the landscaping contractor, and the final invoice comes out of the same project.
