BauKoDat GmbH provides a web-based software solution that enables the creation and management of an internal construction cost database for businesses. The company was founded by Manuel Mickler and Timo Mertin and was developed at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. The idea for BauKoDat originated from Mickler's master's thesis in 'Zukunftssicher Bauen' (Future-Proof Building), where he identified the widespread challenge of efficiently accessing reliable construction cost data. Mickler, with a background in civil engineering, experienced the problem firsthand, while co-founder Timo Mertin, a software engineer, developed the software. The platform targets architecture and engineering firms, commercial clients, project developers, and construction companies. It allows these firms to build a proprietary cost database using data from their own completed projects, rather than relying on external average values. The system uses an algorithm to validate cost key figures from past projects, filtering out outliers and checking for plausibility, and makes them available for future tenders and service specifications. A traffic light system indicates the reliability of a cost indicator. The software focuses on service phases 6 through 8 of the German HOAI (Official Scale of Fees for Services by Architects and Engineers), which cover the preparation and participation in the awarding of contracts and site supervision. BauKoDat is designed to be compatible with common AVA software formats, allowing for the import of bills of quantities in GAEB format and price lists from Excel, CSV, or XML. The platform automatically updates prices based on the official construction price indices from the Federal Statistical Office. It is also designed for future integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence. The company received a 'Hessen Ideen Stipendium' and in July 2024 began a six-month funding program to further develop the business idea. BauKoDat is currently seeking pilot customers to test the web app. Keywords: construction cost database, cost estimation software, construction management, architecture software, engineering software, ConTech, PropTech, HOAI, cost management, tendering process, building information modeling, BIM, GAEB, construction price index, project controlling, cost certainty, construction data analysis, bills of quantities, cost key figures, data-driven construction — this profile has been compiled from public sources.
