Plancraft Secures €38Million In Series B Round

The round was led by Headline, with support from existing investors Creandum, HTGF, and xdeck.

With Europe grappling with a construction workforce shortage due to demographic shifts, skills gaps, and growing climate retrofit demands, this funding arrives at a critical time for the sector.

Plancraft’s vision goes beyond basic digitization. AI is fundamentally changing how we interact with technology and this represents a massive opportunity for blue-collar workers who've been left behind by traditional software. The goal is building AI for tradespeople in such an intuitive way that the only software skill they need is their voice,

“Building on this foundation, plancraft is moving from voice-enabled workflows toward full AI automation,” explains Alexander Noll, Co-founder and CPO. The company aims to develop AI agents that manage customer interactions, generate custom quotes, and optimise operations, allowing construction professionals to focus on their work while software handles administration.

Europe’s construction sector faces significant challenges: 95% of businesses have fewer than 20 employees yet must navigate growing bureaucracy, a skilled labor shortage, and a generational workforce shift. The industry also contributes 40% of global construction CO₂ emissions, adding pressure to transform. Structural challenges like housing shortages and climate change further intensify the sector’s strain.

Julian Wiedenhaus Co-founder and CEO of plancraft underlines the strategic importance of addressing market pressures: Europe's construction workforce is under unprecedented pressure - aging demographics, skills shortages and the urgent need for climate retrofits demand dramatic efficiency gains.

We don't just want to digitalise skilled trades - we want to fundamentally change how they operate, so businesses don't drown in administrative work while the real building suffers.

Since its Series A in June 2024, plancraft has grown its team from 40 to over 100 employees, establishing teams in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy. To fuel further expansion, the company is actively seeking additional product and AI specialists.

Trevor Neff from Headline commented: At plancraft, we’re not just seeing a strong product with incredible customer love we are very impressed by the team with a clear, determined and ambitious mindset.

The clarity of vision, and the ambition to transform a traditional industry truly stand out. The market tailwinds paired with the impact of AI specific to this end market, can have a dramatic change to the industry across Europe.

The new funding will be primarily invested in developing AI-driven tools to streamline routine tasks for tradespeople and to expand plancraft’s team across multiple countries.
