Switch without risk.
Promised.
The biggest hurdle before better software is never the software — it’s the fear of switching. So let’s clear the four most common worries right here.
“We’ll lose data in the move”
No: XBuild has an Excel import for tickets and structures, you upload your drawings in bulk, and your old systems keep running in parallel until everything sits right. Nothing is switched off before you say so.
“The team won’t play along”
The most common reason for failure — which is why XBuild is deliberately simple and minimalist. Rule of thumb: anyone who can use a smartphone captures their first defect after 10 minutes. Subcontractors need no training at all: they only see their tasks.
“Rollout will take months”
Technically you are ready in minutes — a project is set up from templates in 2 minutes. The real work is thinking your processes through once: who captures what, who approves, who sees what? Exactly this work is what we guide you through — with the pilot-project strategy instead of a big bang. It takes longer than “installing an app”, but the effect lasts.
“And if it doesn’t fit after all?”
Then you export your complete project archive and leave — cancellable monthly, no lock-in period. That is exactly why we can afford this promise: it practically never happens.
The switch in 4 steps
No big bang, no months-long migration: a pilot project proves the value — the rollout follows based on real experience.
Choose a pilot project
Day 1Take a running or starting project of medium size — big enough to be real, small enough to see quick wins.
Transfer the structure
Day 1–2Create a project template, import existing ticket lists via Excel, upload drawings — automatic versioning takes over from now on.
Invite the team
Day 2–3Site management and planners as active roles, all trades as free subcontractors. Everyone gets exactly the permissions they need.
Work productively
from week 1Capture defects on your phone, send minutes automatically — and after 2–4 weeks you decide about the rollout to all projects based on real experience.
