Automated Budget Updates and Profitability Forecasts

Planyard’s construction change order software automatically updates your project budget and forecasted profitability with each change.

Measure the profitability of client change orders directly, giving you a clear view of how these variations impact your overall profit margins.

Subcontractor-Initiated Change Orders

Easily manage change order suggestions from your subcontractors. When subcontractors submit payment applications, they can also propose change orders directly through Planyard. This streamlines the process, allowing you to review, approve, or reject changes with just a few clicks.

Once approved, the change order is automatically added to both the contract and your project budget, ensuring everything stays updated and accurate.

Upload your project budget and follow the financial progress in real-time

No credit card required. No sales or IT support needed.

Easily Manage Purchase Order Changes

When quantities or scope change, Planyard makes it easy to adjust purchase orders. Track updates to quantities, unit costs, and total amounts directly in the platform to ensure your project budget stays accurate.

Every change is documented, providing a clear audit trail and complete financial transparency.

The Benefits of Full Automation

By automating change order management, Planyard helps you reduce manual work, avoid costly errors, and gain real-time insights into your project’s financial health. With all data centralized and automated, you save time and maintain control over budgets, payments, and profitability.

"I chose Planyard because it stood out as the most straightforward and intuitive option on the market.

"For me Planyard is essentially the go to software for SMBs. There are other software packages out there that are a large investment upfront with a significant monthly cost. These are all potential solutions once you get to a very large business but they are not a solution for SMBs."

"Timewise, on a single project, I'd probably save 6 to 8 hours—essentially a full day every month. When it comes to processing monthly payments, it saves me a solid day, perhaps even a day and a half, just in sorting through the invoices. Saving a day and a half of my time means the system pays for itself time and time again."
