Case Study: Gebr. Donhauser Bau GmbH & Co achieves 3–4 hours/week time savings and instant access to up-to-date drawings with Fieldwire by Hilti

How specialty contractor, Donhauser saves 3-4 hours per week with up-to-date drawings in Fieldwire on their most complex projects

Gebr. Donhauser Bau GmbH & Co is a specialty contractor working on residential, industrial, and commercial projects (notably the 52‑unit Winzerer Hof) that was struggling with outdated drawings in the field, causing rework and delays. To solve plan-management and visibility gaps between office and site, the company turned to Fieldwire by Hilti to provide up‑to‑date plans and a single source of truth for project information.

Fieldwire by Hilti delivered mobile access to current drawings, Kanban and Gantt tools for pre‑project planning, and a 2‑way sync with Dropbox to keep teams aligned. The solution improved transparency and reduced mistakes, helping teams complete work faster—construction managers save about 1.5 hours per day and site supervisors save 3–4 hours per week during reinforcement inspections—while providing a full project history and measurable time savings since January 2020.
