Creates requests from the site they work on and sees what happens to them. A worker can’t resolve requests, not even their own.
Material requests from site. Right in Telegram.
Foremen and buyers see right away what is needed, how urgent it is and for which site. Questions get sorted right in the request.
Free: 1 site and 1 worker
A request nobody has to ask about
“Need adhesive” in the group chat turns into five messages. In We Do Bau a request has a name and a description you can buy from straight away.
Urgent stands out
One tap and the request is sent. Urgent ones are marked red in the list and in the Telegram message.

Instead of a material request form in Excel
The material request form lives in Excel and email. In We Do Bau it’s filled in on the phone, and the author, date and site fill themselves in.
And in the monthly report
The company, site or worker PDF report has a “Requests” page: what was asked for in the period, how much was urgent and where it stands now. The owner exports the report for the whole company, a foreman for their sites.

Foreman and buyer
Get the requests from their sites, take them on and close them. A buyer notices material running low? They can create a request and resolve it themselves.
Owner
Sees requests from every site and how many are waiting, right on the home screen. Can take on any request personally.
FAQ
How do I request materials from site?
Open We Do Bau in Telegram, tap “New request”, write a name and description and pick the urgency. The site fills itself in if you’re on shift. You can also send a request straight from the chat.
What goes into a material request?
A short name and a description good enough to buy without a phone call: brand or item number, colour, size or pack and quantity. For example: “Tile adhesive”, description “Ceresit CM 11 for porcelain, grey, 25 kg bags, 6 of them”. A request can’t be sent without a description.
Who gets the request?
The company owner, plus the foreman and buyer assigned to that site. We Do Bau tells them about a new request right away, urgent ones are marked red.
How does a worker know the request was picked up?
When a manager takes the request on, marks it resolved or cancels it, the author gets a Telegram message. The current status and history are in the request itself.
Can I attach photos to a request?
Yes, in the request discussion: up to 5 photos per message. Only the people on the request see them: the author, the owner, and the site’s foreman and buyer.
Does We Do Bau order materials from the supplier?
No. We Do Bau takes the request from site to whoever buys, and shows what happens to it. Your buyer orders from the supplier as usual, there’s no warehouse or supplier catalogue in We Do Bau.
Do I need a material request form in Excel?
No. The form’s fields (item, quantity, site, urgency, author and date) are filled in by the request itself or asked for on the phone. The request list can be filtered by status and site.
Do requests show up in reports?
Yes. The company, site or worker PDF report has a “Requests” page: new requests in the period, status changes, how many are open now and how many were urgent, with a table of each request’s site, date and status below. Photos stay in the app, not in the report.
How much do material requests in We Do Bau cost?
Free for one site and one worker, for good, with every feature. Bigger crews from €29 a month, the price depends on the number of people, more on the pricing page.
