Start-ups develop creative solutions to organise and carry out construction projects more safely, efficiently and practically. From 23 to 26 April 2024, FAF – FARBE AUSBAU & FASSADE will showcase the inventiveness and innovative strength of selected companies at the FAF START-UP AREA in Hall 7 (booths 123 ff.) right next to the FAF FORUM.

Following their slogan "Entering work times? Forget it", Anna Brückner (master optician, B.Sc. Physics), her brother Oliver Brückner (master painter and business economist) and computer scientist Ivan Kostov dedicated themselves to an everyday problem in the trade: inefficient time recording - and heralded the smart time recording of tomorrow with the founding of "Craftomatic". The challenge: as virtually nobody likes to record time, it is often postponed or forgotten altogether. This makes even digital time recording very time-consuming and inaccurate and, as a result, the monthly analyses - daily changing construction sites do not simplify the recording process either. The three from Craftomatic thought there was a better way and over the last three years, based on 175,000 data records from the field, they developed a smart time recording tool that is independent of employee input, runs automatically in the background, records all times fully automatically and simultaneously assigns them to the correct projects. With customisable evaluation rules. Forgot your mobile phone or run out of battery? No problem: the times are still recorded correctly. This leaves more time for the essentials: the trade. A tool created from practical experience in the skilled trades for practical use in the skilled trades - and has already received several grants. - Copyright

- W. Schmitz Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Boffzen - Hall 7, Stand 123E
The family business W. Schmitz Kunststofftechnik in Boffzen, Lower Saxony, has been producing precision joining technology for the insulating glass industry since 1981. The "Petry profile" presented at the FAF, a plaster end profile for window sills, is an invention of master plasterer Stefan Petry, who had the brilliant idea in 2020 to decouple the exterior wall plaster in the reveal from the window sill. He was awarded the Bavarian State Prize in 2022 for his innovation in the trade. With the plastered-in "Petry profile", the window sill can move move (either caused by temperature changes or mechanical loads) without the plaster cracking in the reveal area. Further advantages are: The plaster finish is simple and clean, and water can no longer penetrate the plaster at this point. The clean, precise and durable finish also meets the aesthetic requirements of architects and building owners. - Copyright

AESTICO is a Swiss start-up from Zurich that has declared war on pen and paper in the construction industry. The digital measurement system saves project managers in the construction and trade sectors hours of office work. As is so often the case, the start-up was founded as a result of a private experience of one of the later founders, in this case Rafael Mottl: he saw stacks of quotations from floor layers, tilers, painters and so on at his father-in-law's house, who was planning to renovate it. Handwritten notes were attached to each quote to explain the costs offered. Extremely messy, but de facto everyday life in the construction industry: the craftsmen measure with a digital device, write measurements and services on paper, then type everything into an Excel spreadsheet, only to copy it into their office software - inefficient and hugely error-prone. That was the moment when Rafael and his co-founder Giovanni Moscato decided to declare war on this messy analogue process and speed it up massively through digitalisation.
The AESTICO app records measurement data and services digitally on site: Areas or lengths are transferred directly from the laser distance meter via Bluetooth interface to the quotation template created by the tradesperson or project manager. With additional elements such as flat rates, quantities or hourly costs, the app creates the quotation for the planned renovation work. The work can also be clearly documented with pictures and notes. The digitally recorded data is transferred directly to existing office software as a free service specification via an interface, or quotes and measurements can be created directly in Word, PDF or Excel. Typing in the office is no longer necessary, saving several days of tedious office work every year. Further advantages: The clean quotations and clear measurement reports impress private, public and institutional clients with their professional and clear presentation. This drastically reduces the number of queries regarding project documentation. In addition, media breaks between measuring device, notepad and computer and the associated calculation errors are avoided.
AESTICO is now established in Switzerland as the first port of call for digital measurements and is used in various courses organised by the Swiss Association of Painting and Plastering Contractors (SMGV). - Copyright

- Wattro GmbH, Heidelberg - Hall 7, Booth 123B
The Heidelberg-based start-up Wattro specialises in digital and automated device management. At the heart of this system is the patented Wattro scan terminal. It is specially designed for the skilled trades sector and makes equipment management considerably easier: manual effort is reduced, human error is avoided - which increases overall productivity. All devices, tools and machines in a business are automatically recorded with a simple scanning process, which saves time and makes the entire process much more efficient. This technology enables precise and timely stocktaking, reduces losses due to forgotten or lost equipment and optimises the use of resources. The company's equipment fleet can be accessed via PC or smartphone, controlled by simple and intuitive software - also from Wattro. Another major advantage: the scanning terminal and software unit can be easily integrated into existing systems and is even easier to use. - Copyright

"HAMSTA - stands for "Handwerk am Start" and is a platform for painters. Behind it is a small team of three creative minds: Saskia Boiselle, who makes sure that everything stays on track, Max Scheffel, who likes to get people in front of his podcast microphone, and Felix Schweizer, who puts the content on the platform's website and posts it on social media channels. HAMSTA and the idea behind it came about during a CMS Group workshop. HAMSTA connects tradespeople with competent service providers and provides new ideas, tips and tricks through workshops. In the meantime, HAMSTA has expanded into a comprehensive platform for the painting trade, which now provides support, inspiration and community, in short: the digital home for topics, networks, news and supporters of the painting trade. - Copyright
