What do our customers say about upmesh?

The communication and organizational overhead at Fick Ingenieurgesellschaft was simply becoming too great. There were too many projects and project participants, and too little time to constantly get bogged down in some kind of regular meeting. Niels Flick found the solution to this communication chaos and the resulting time constraints in upmesh.

"We primarily use upmesh as a project management app. Our internal and external communication runs smoothly through the upmesh ticket system. This greatly simplifies project coordination with various trades and saves countless emails and calls every day."

Frequently asked questions about supplementary management

Change management refers to all organizational and documentation measures necessary to accurately record, evaluate, and assert changes or extensions to performance during a construction project. These include additional work, modified designs, or schedule changes that go beyond the scope of the original contract.

In practice, managing addendums is often a lot of work. With upmesh, this process is significantly simplified: You record addendum-relevant services directly on-site using your smartphone or tablet and document all important information such as photos, descriptions, and plan references centrally in a single ticket. You have all addendum-relevant information at your fingertips and can fully document your claims.

Careful change management is crucial for claiming additional or modified services in a timely manner. Without comprehensive construction documentation, you risk having your claims rejected or only partially accepted. With upmesh, you secure a reliable foundation right from the start: All changes are recorded directly during the project, including plan references, photos, comments, and time stamps.

Structured supplementary management typically follows the following steps:

• Detect performance deviations: Detect deviations from the original construction target (e.g. due to changes in plans, additional work or construction delays).
• Record addendum: Document all relevant information such as description, photos, plans, trade and time.
• Submit a supplement: Notify the client of the claim in a timely and formally correct manner.
• Review and negotiate addendum: The client assesses the claim and, if necessary, agrees on the scope, deadline and costs.
• Implement and document the service: After approval, the addendum is executed and finally recorded for later verification.

The legal basis for addenda varies depending on the type of contract:

While Section 650b of the German Civil Code (BGB) provides general regulations for changes to the work by the client, the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB/B) offer specific and detailed provisions for construction work. Therefore, the provisions of Section 2 of the VOB/B apply to VOB contracts, which clearly define various supplementary provisions.

• Excess or shortfall in quantities: Exceeding or falling short of the agreed quantities by more than 10 % entitles the unit prices to be adjusted.
• Omission of services: The client can delete services from the original contract, which will reduce the remuneration accordingly.
• Ordering changed services: The client can order changes to the originally agreed service that affect the basis for determining the price.
• Additional services: If services are required that were not provided for in the contract but are necessary to carry out the contractual service, there is a right to separate remuneration.
• Hourly wage work: Smaller jobs that cannot be classified as other services can be billed on an hourly basis after prior agreement.

A supplementary offer contains a detailed description of the additional work, the justification for the amendment, a cost breakdown, and all relevant documentation such as photos and plan extracts. It is important to clearly outline the deviation from the original contract and provide a comprehensible calculation of the additional costs. The more precise the information, the higher the chance of acceptance.
