    (2026) Matzinger Daniel; Brunner Simon
    Task The objective of this diploma thesis is to develop a centralized calculation tool for the architectural firm X Architekten ZT GmbH. The application consolidates construction cost estimates, fee calculations and fee distributions into a single unified system. The final result of these calculations indicates how many hours an employee should spend on a given project. The results can be exported as a PDF document whose layout conforms to the company’s corporate identity. The solution is primarily implemented as a web application and is additionally available as a desktop application. Implementation The implementation began with a requirements analysis aimed at consolidating calculations that were previously spread across multiple Excel files into one central system. After logging in, the application provides a dashboard for managing existing projects and creating new ones. A structured process guides the user through three calculation steps, culminating in a final summary with PDF export. In addition, an administrative interface enables the management of users and system-wide calculation parameters. Result The application was fully developed as part of this diploma thesis and will be handed over to the client, X Architekten ZT GmbH, upon completion of the project. Following the handover, selected employees will be trained in a presentation, and an electronic manual will document the application’s usage as well as the calculation workflow. Simon Brunner will remain available for future maintenance and support. No additional costs will be incurred by the company, as the software was developed free of charge within the scope of this thesis.
