German plancraft Secures €38M for Construction AI

German SaaS startup plancraft secured €38 million in funding. This significant capital injection will advance its AI transformation efforts within the European construction sector.

Plancraft is an AI-powered software platform built for tradespeople and construction companies to simplify project management, documentation, and administrative work. Designed to work seamlessly in the office and on-site, it enables voice-driven time tracking, measurements, and document creation, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Users can simply describe tasks or measurements, and Plancraft automatically processes, calculates, and formats the information into professional quotes, invoices, and reports. By centralizing all project documents, schedules, and communications, the platform helps teams stay organized, connected, and efficient.

The software offers a full suite of tools tailored to the needs of contractors, including project folders, planning boards, post-calculation features, e-invoicing, and chat communication between the field and office. Its cloud-based system allows access from any device—Windows, Mac, or mobile—so teams can record work hours, track progress, and share updates in real time. Integrated interfaces such as GAEB and DATEV simplify data exchange with architects, partners, and accountants, while compliance-ready e-invoice features ensure businesses meet European regulatory requirements.

Plancraft’s goal is to replace complex, error-prone workflows in Word and Excel with an intuitive, trade-focused solution that saves time and boosts accuracy. Professionals report saving up to four hours a week and achieving near-total adoption among staff, regardless of tech skills. With over 20,000 satisfied users, the platform has become a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes—from solo tradespeople to large construction firms—helping them reduce administrative burden and focus on what they do best: their craft.

plancraft's technology competes with established solutions like Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Plancraft was founded in February 2020 by Julian Wiedenhaus, Alexander Noll, and Richard Keil. It has raised over €50M from investors including Headline, Creandum, High-Tech Gründerfonds, BitStone Capital, xdeck, Realyze Ventures, and realPACE.
