"Overall, I would say it saves me a day a week. Because I use Planyard almost every day now for estimating, the time savings are huge. It offers the flexibility I always wanted from Excel, but it does so much more because it actually has the database to back it up, which is a massive advantage."

"We also re-use data. For example, we are using historical data across projects for estimations to know what the actual cost will be for a given job or material."

Planyard integrates with the most popular accounting tools.

"I worked on a job yesterday where we completed the tender, but instead of giving the client every single piece of cost information, we were able to just provide the costs at the heading level, which is great. If I were using Excel, I would have had to manually hide columns and then PDF it. It really comes down to that flexibility and adaptability that Planyard offers."
