Benefits of the Mobile App

The mobile app provides access to all relevant project data even when you're away from the office—for example, directly on the construction site. The app supports offline use in various divisions, allowing you to view or enter data even without an internet connection. Tasks & Topics, Journal Entries for defects and documentation, Documents or Controls & Inspections can be viewed, edited, or created from any location. This supports seamless communication and documentation directly at the location. The app is operated via intuitive gesture controls and the familiar buildagil layout, enabling simple and efficient use. The app offers easy navigation and quick access to project content. Photos and videos can be captured directly using the built-in camera or the device’s camera and added to the corresponding elements. For more information, see the following article: Taking Photos in the Mobile App.

Offline Availability in the Mobile App

The app supports offline use in various divisions. This means that content can be viewed or entered even without an internet connection—for example, on a construction site.


Enter journal entries offline

Entries can be created even when there is no connection. Synchronization can be performed later once an Internet connection is restored. This requires that the project has been pinned beforehand. For more information, see the article: Creating Journal Entries.


View Models Offline

Although models are not fully available offline in the BIM Viewer, they can be opened and loaded in advance so that they can be viewed even without an internet connection. Thanks to the mobile app’s offline feature, journal entries can also be recorded without an internet connection and pinned directly to the model.


Using Journal Templates Offline

Pinned journal templates can be downloaded in advance in the mobile app so that they are available even without an internet connection. This makes it possible to create journal entries using a template at any time. For more information, see the following article: Journal Templates.


View PDF Plans Offline

PDF files saved as favorites can be used offline. Changes are automatically detected and synchronized. This allows plans to be made available offline in advance so they are accessible even if there is no internet connection on the construction site. For more information, see the article: Favorites.


Create plan sections offline

If a PDF plan has been saved as a favorite, plan sections can be created even without an internet connection. For example, when documenting defects in a journal entry, you can mark plan sections directly at the location and add annotations or comments. The entry is linked to the plan and is fully available after synchronization. For more information, see the following article: Creating Plan Sections.

Navigation in the Mobile App

Navigation in the mobile app is done via the navigation bar. The following divisions are available:


  1. Home: Project Overview with Progress and News
  2. Tasks & Task Board: Overview of all tasks from all projects
  3. Creating new items (tasks & topics, journal entries, controls & inspections)
  4. Search: Search for project content such as documents, plans, tasks, and topics
  5. Dates: Overview of all cross-project meetings
  6. Projects: Overview of the project structure with access to project content



You can use the menu in the lower-right corner to switch between the current view and the secondary navigation. For example, you can switch from "Documents" to the "Media Library," or from "My Tasks" to other tasks and topics, as well as your favorites.




For more information on navigation, see the following article: Navigation in the apps.

Gesture Control

In the mobile app, many actions can be performed quickly and intuitively—for example, by swiping or pressing and holding. This speeds up navigation and makes it easier to work on mobile devices.


Navigation and Control via Swiping

With a swipe to the right or left, you can switch between the information and the comments in Tasks & Topics as well as in journal entries.



When an item is open, it can be closed or minimized by swiping down. Swiping down to the left minimizes the element and moves it to the Quick Selection panel. Swiping down to the right closes the element. If the element is being edited and is closed, a message appears asking whether the changes should be saved.



In the folder structure and in lists, you can swipe right to return to the previous view.



Enable advanced options by pressing and holding

To view additional options for an item in the mobile app, you can press and hold the item in addition to using the existing options. For example, in the project overview or in the documents section.



Automatically scroll to the top of the list

If you click a navigation button that has already been selected, the view automatically scrolls back to the top of the list.



Quick Access to the Search Function

Double-clicking a navigation button in the Tasks or Projects sections opens the search directly in the selected division.
