BKR construction cost calculation for WaltGalmarini Zurich

### Construction planning Clearly planned - Cleverly managed

For the Zurich-based civil engineers at  [**WaltGalmarini AG**](https://waltgalmarini.ch/) , we developed a  **customized software solution for construction cost accounting and planning**  – perfectly tailored to the requirements of complex construction projects.

Since WaltGalmarini regularly undertakes  **large and technically demanding projects** , the goal was clear: a solution that  **combines precise calculation** , ease of use, and maximum transparency.

With the new application,  **construction segments and elements**  can be intuitively selected, combined, and reconfigured with a single click – for  **precise planning right from the concept phase** . Construction projects can be flexibly divided into  **sub-projects and different versions**  to easily compare scenarios.

A  **comprehensive database with project data from the last 20 years** , as well as an integrated  **catalog based on BKP, eBKP, and NPK** , forms the basis for precise calculations. Thanks to extensive  **evaluation functions** , versions can be analyzed, costs compared, and project data transferred directly to client management.

The solution was developed in close  **collaboration with WaltGalmarini**  – precisely tailored to their individual processes and needs.

The database is hosted locally at the customer's site on a virtual Linux server.

Administration for the holiday camps of the ZSF Foundation

### Easily plan and manage your vacation

For the  [**Zurich School Holiday Foundation**](https://zsf.ch) , we were able to comprehensively  **modernize a historically grown database landscape**  with minimal time and cost – efficiently, securely, and with a focus on the future.

Several individual systems were consolidated into a  **central, high-performance solution** . At the same time, we  **completely overhauled the security concept**  and implemented a  **modern layout**  to match the new corporate design.

In addition to traditional  **participant management** , the foundation now benefits from  **intelligent camp leader management**  and an  **integrated billing system** . Incoming registrations are automatically imported from emails – all  **information about holiday camps and participants**  is now securely and clearly summarized in a  **central database** .

The result:  **time savings, improved overview, and a significantly more efficient workflow**  – all without the tedious task of searching for information.

The database is hosted on a cloud server from  [**walkingtoweb**](https://www.walkingtoweb.com) .

### The right resource at the right time

For  [**AFRY**](https://afry.com) 's civil engineers, who operate throughout Switzerland, we developed an  **intelligent database solution for long-term resource planning**  – a tool that takes digitalization and efficiency in project planning to a new level.

The application connects  **business units**  and departments, enabling  **precise, data-driven planning of employee resources**  – flexible, transparent, and future-proof. With  **switchable views**  across weeks, months, and quarters, the solution provides a clear  **overview of the next ten years**  at any time. Automated target/actual analyses help project managers identify opportunities early and proactively allocate resources.

The database is hosted locally at the customer's site on a virtual Linux server.

The application manages more than  **3,500 properties**  of various types and categories, offered and sold nationwide.  **Dynamic pricing logic**  enables both  **individual customer rates**  and  **combinable property bundles** .  **Automated invoicing**  takes country-specific tax regulations into account and  **supports multilingual invoicing**  in German, French, and English – fully integrated and without manual effort.

A  **graphical interface**  is available for detailed planning, allowing properties to be visualized and  **selected with a single click** . In daily use, sales teams benefit from up-to-date sales overviews and precise target/actual analyses, accessible in real time.
