What is Planyard?

You can streamline your construction projects by avoiding repetitive data entry. Managing your budget becomes a breeze with Excel, eliminating the need for endless email exchanges. Your subcontractors can handle the data entry tasks, freeing up your time. Before the completion of a project, you can assess its profitability, effectively identifying any design and estimating discrepancies. This approach allows each project manager to reclaim 3-5 days annually. By removing manual calculations and copy-pasting, you can enhance efficiency and ensure that processes are standardized for compliance. It's crucial to prevent any oversights from happening throughout the project. Subcontractors can easily receive bid requests, enabling a collaborative review of RFQs, making it simple to request bid revisions through multi-round bidding, and seamlessly turning the selected bid into a contract with just one click. This comprehensive strategy not only saves time but also ensures that all aspects of the project are handled efficiently and accurately.
