Full overview of all the transactions related to your construction budget
Everything from estimations through contracts, change orders, progress reports, and invoices are managed in one place and can be tracked from your budget. This lets you come back to the data later and see where you went over.
Planyard gives you a single place to easily track your financial numbers in real-time. You can easily give access to your site personnel so that they can pre-confirm the costs for you and reduce your workload.
Profitability overview by completed job phase and jobs themselves
Large projects take time to complete. Due to the duration, the prices can easily change. And because of that, profitability can as well.
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.
See the breakdown of what the jobs consist of
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. This will answer the question of whether the estimator gave 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.”

“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.”

“I would say that Planyard is a great way to easily and conveniently track your job costs in one place. It keeps track of all of the documents and the numbers in one place.
If there’s some problem with the budget, it just tells you what you need to fix and you’ll be fine. It really just kind of thinks a step ahead for you.”

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

“We wanted to know before a project finished whether we were going to make a profit or not. Planyard has allowed us to do that. We can see exactly which jobs are profitable and which ones are not, so that we can make changes on the go.”

Still using Excel for budget management?
There’s a better way.
Spreadsheets are not the best way for managing job costs
- It’s too easy to make mistakes;
- You can’t see behind the numbers;
- It’s hard to standardize and ensure compliance;
- There’s no real-time overview of profitability forecasts;
- It means duplicate work for PMs and accountants.
