Challenge
The construction of sustainable houses with a QNG certificate presents construction companies with an enormous challenge. In order to meet the criteria of the QNG Seal and the respective approved sustainability assessment systems, countless documents, proofs and other requirements are required. This usually means significant financial burdens, additional personnel costs and, above all, extensive expertise. The verification process is extremely complex, as it involves the collection and administration of up to 250 different documents, which had to be delivered by various project participants, such as planners, auditors and craftsmen.
Many construction companies try to meet these requirements with Excel spreadsheets, but this proved to be confusing and inefficient. In addition, there were always problems, as auditors often received incomplete or incorrect information from construction companies, which led to significant delays.
Solution
In order to better meet the requirements and optimize processes, Becatur decided to introduce Ninox. The decision was made based on the expertise of Ninox Partner Sebastian Kalberg, Digital Simplified, an industry expert who supported Becatur with his expertise. Kalberg understood the specific challenges of the construction industry and recommended Ninox as a solution to improve cooperation between construction participants and make verification more efficient.
The implementation of Ninox was seamless on the company's private cloud. Thanks to the simple scalability and the ability to easily integrate employees and external partners into the system, the solution could be used quickly and effectively. With Ninox and Digital Simplified, Becatur has developed an innovative concept and created cutting-edge software that 50% automated process for obtaining the QNG seal.
