Work with our innovative, interactive plan to gain visibility and save time. ID-driven technology enables connected construction management. With our platform-based application, you can intuitively control your projects through the interactive map. built[t] construction offers you an app with diverse functionality and intuitive operation: * record quality issues * record localized information * document performance statuses * create elements such as doors, penetrations and general monitoring points * distribute responsibilities or write feedback * release tasks Benefit from improved documentation and your new digital memory, developed with 25 years of experience in the highly dynamic process of construction. Traditional digital quality-management-tools do not have located IDs. Until now, only points are set on a PDF-based background. With our technology, dates, places, times and people are linked to the corresponding ID. Your process is permanently documented and accompanies you throughout the entire project. Individual requirements, e.g. "Lean Management", can be realized cost-effectively and quickly with our product built[t] solution. These module-additions extend your existing standard built[t] construction products. If you are interested, please contact us at info@builtt.de Credits: Video: Nils Hauke Neuer

About

Paperclip

Features
Read full description

Somebody sent you a winmail.dat, an Outlook .msg or a whole .pst archive, and your iPhone shrugged. Paperclip opens it: the message with its formatting, every attachment inside, and the meeting invite hiding in there too. Reading is free, and so are printing, previewing or sharing an attachment and adding an invite to Calendar. You don't need Outlook or an account, and nothing is uploaded. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Open a file from Files, or send it to Paperclip from another app's share sheet. Open nested messages in place, preview or share each attachment, add invites to Calendar and print any message. PST ARCHIVES, WITHOUT THE IMPORT Open a .pst right on your iPhone or iPad. Browse the folders and search the whole archive, large files and old ANSI PSTs included. PAPERCLIP PRO Share a message as a PDF or .eml file. On the Mac, Pro also exports, batch-converts up to 500 files at a time and saves every attachment in one go. The Shortcuts actions that convert messages and extract attachments come with Pro too. Pro is a one-time in-app purchase with no subscription. One purchase covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac, and works with Family Sharing. WHEN A FILE IS DAMAGED Paperclip shows everything it could read and tells you what opened, what didn't and what it recovered. YOUR FILES STAY ON YOUR DEVICE Paperclip parses them on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. No account, no upload, no analytics. Remote images and tracking pixels stay blocked unless you allow them for one message. If a file won't open, write to support@offmetalabs.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Construction at none against Paperclip's 1. Construction also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Paperclip's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
