Built on the site. Not in the office.

Feldkontor keeps the site diary and the construction controlling for utility-scale solar parks. From the contractor's point of view, grown out of the daily work of site management.

Why Feldkontor exists

A tool for the site has to come from the site.

On a solar park site, success is decided by quantities, dates and records. Site management keeps lists in Excel, collects notes from the crews, receives photos by messenger and writes the report in the evening. The same work is recorded three times and the overview is still missing.

Feldkontor reverses the order. Work is recorded where it is done. Everything else follows from that by itself: progress, target against actual, forecast, billing proposal and the report for the client.

How the work is done

Three principles, taken from practice

One tap on the phone

Whoever finishes a table taps it. No notes and no list in the evening.

Field layout per table, DC string work in three steps, a whole row or a whole inverter with one tap.

Recorded once, counted everywhere

The same tap counts in progress, billing, material stock and the daily site report.

Target against actual, delay and remaining quantity follow from the recorded work, and so does the daily site report as a PDF.

Everyone is in

One price per project. Crews, subcontractors and the client at no extra charge.

Unlimited users, six roles with their own rights, internal content stays internal.

What Feldkontor does

Site diary and controlling in one interface

Built for utility-scale solar parks only. Site diary, construction progress per table and string, target-actual controlling, defects, logistics, serial numbers of modules and inverters, variation orders as well as DC and AC test records with plausibility checks in a single interface.

Daily site report

Personnel, equipment, weather, work done, incidents and photos. Internal photos stay in the internal report.

Field layout and electrical

Construction status per table, string, inverter and transformer station, with completion date.

Progress and forecast

Weighted across all trades, target against actual for the programme, completion date per trade.

Measurement and test records

DC and AC to DIN EN 62446-1, earthing to VDE-AR-N 4110, with test report and installer's declaration.

Defects and records

Defect with deadline, responsibility and photo, notice of defects, reminder to the subcontractor.

Billing and variation orders

Daywork, variation order register, billing proposal per subcontractor, invoice check.

What this changes

One place for everything. Always the latest state.

  • Fewer documents. Instead of Excel lists, notes, photos in a messenger and separate records there is one point of entry.
  • No searching. Daily site reports, drawings, test records, defects and correspondence are in one place. The archive finds every report with filters and search.
  • Fewer errors. Everyone works with the same data. Nothing is typed in twice.
  • New drawing revision, straight out to the field. When the office changes a drawing, the application shows the new revision on site. Receipt has to be confirmed.

Walkthrough

Feldkontor seen by site management

A short walkthrough in German and English. It goes through every area of the application in the order a site manager uses it over a working day. The language can be switched above the player.

Try it for 7 days on a sample project

The test access runs on a demonstration tenant with the sample project PV-Manjanahausen. All names, companies and figures in it are invented. After 7 calendar days it ends by itself, with no notice of termination.
