Real-time budget tracking
Follow your project budget in real time. Track expenses against budgets on line item level.
Free 14-day full-featured trial. Full access. No credit card required.
Full overview of all the transactions related to your budget
Everything from estimated through contracts, change orders, progress reports and invoices is managed in one place and can be tracked from your budget.
This means you have a single place to track your financial numbers in real-time.
Profitability overview by completed job phase
Large projects take time to complete. Prices can easily change during that period and so can profitability.
As time progresses you can see by phase (i.e. by category) where you met your planned budget and how much profit you’ve made.
Get the gory details
You can drill down to job-level – which jobs made a profit and which didn’t. And more importantly – why.
Line item view gives you a 360-degree view – a list of all the contracts, progress reports, and expenses that are tied to that line item.
Know on the line-item unit and quantity level how much was estimated and what was the real-life outcome. Did the estimator give poor cost estimates or did the designer provide poor material estimates?

Our customers about us
“I wanted to escape the spreadsheets, escape the manual data entry, and look for ways to stay on top of the budget numbers. It’s challenging within a development company to keep on top of your numbers.
So I came across Planyard in a search to improve the budget management processes and, to make my own life easier.
Planyard does that, and it takes your project budget and puts it very clearly on screen for you so you have a live real-time picture of where your project budget is at any given point.”
Ian Holford
Manager, Higgihaus Developments
“I have been working on cloud accounting tools like Xero and Quickbooks which are excellent, but they don’t have a specific construction-based costing tool.
Construction companies rely on expensive quantity surveyors and project managers to do a lot of data input on packages such as Excel which takes them away from focusing on value-added activities and driving the profit growth.
When I came across Planyard, I was relieved that there was finally a solution to this problem. Quotes, subcontract orders, purchase orders, invoices, progress bills, etc are put on the system and it’s linked directly to the budget, CVRs, subcontractors, and the suppliers. This is making people’s lives a lot easier. Data is at hand, it’s automated and it gets everyone away from the out-dated requirement to fill out spreadsheets.”

“We save four working days each month per project manager. The biggest efficiency booster came from getting rid of duplicate data entry.”
Marek Korbelainen
