About us

Why we built Planyard

Planyard exists because you - the construction professional - deserve real-time financial clarity, and that is the only reason we built this company.

How our story started

You might recognise this story.

Your team spends hours updating countless spreadsheets, yet a clear answer to “how are we doing?” still takes days of consolidation and forecasting.

When we started talking to project managers and QSs, we kept hearing the same things:

01

“We don’t really know whether we’ve made a profit until the job is finished.”

02

“Last‑minute missing or unexpected invoices quietly erode our margins.”

03

“Every team member keeps their own spreadsheets with no alignment, which makes it hard to grow the business.”

04

“I spend more time chasing data and updating trackers than I do actually managing the site.”

“We looked at ERPs, construction cost control tools and accounting tools like Xero or QuickBooks, and we saw one pattern. They all told you what happened after the invoices arrived, not what was happening on site right now. That delay was the gap we decided to close.”

– Andres Kuuse, CEO of Planyard

So in 2017 we started Planyard with one idea: you should see the financial reality of your project in real time, not weeks later through a spreadsheet.

What you get instead of spreadsheets

You upload your budget once and manage commitments, subcontracts, change orders and progress directly in Planyard.

You stop entering the same numbers into multiple files and systems.

You see a single live dashboard that shows you where each project stands and how your whole portfolio is performing.

You can spot problems early rather than discover them at month end.

"When we used to do our month-end CVRs it could usually take 3-4 days to put them together. It now takes me 10-15 minutes to just quickly go through the jobs and check that I haven’t missed anything."

Why you can trust us

You do not have to take our word for anything. You can try Planyard, watch real workflows, and see your own numbers in the system before you decide.

You get transparent pricing on the website instead of long sales calls just to know the cost.

You get a product used by construction teams in the UK, Australia, the US and many other countries, across thousands of projects.

You also get a team of founders that keeps building Planyard with input from quantity surveyors and project managers, not from a slide deck.

We talk to users every week and turn that feedback into product changes that make your work easier.
