Subcontractor management software that saves you time

Subcontractor management software is specialised software in construction for managing subcontractors (and sometimes other vendors and providers) in one database connected to quoting, progress reporting, and billing.

Combine all your contacts in one database to share knowledge between the quantity surveyors. Good subcontractors should easily be able to work on all of the company’s projects.

Free 14-day full-featured trial. Full access. No credit card required.

Keep all the subcontractors in one database.

A subcontractor database shouldn’t be a separate table somewhere. It should also connect to all of your documents.

  • Add them one by one or import them in bulk;
  • Manage categories and contacts for each subcontractor;
  • Share subcontractors between your quantity surveyors;
  • Record feedback about subcontractors;
  • Re-use categories when sending out RFTs;
  • Have a full view of what the subcontractors have worked on before.

Send, receive, and compare RFTs

All of your bids are connected to your subcontractors and bidders. The flow of creating RFTs is as follows:

  • Create RFTs easily;
  • Selected participating subcontractors by custom categories (such as foundation works, window installers etc.);
  • Receive quotes from subcontractors without introducing new habits to subcontractors;
  • Identify changes to quantities and units;
  • Compare RFTs side-by-side and pick the winner;
  • Run multi-round bids if necessary.

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

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

Manage subcontractor contracts in the same software

When you have selected a winning subcontractor bid, you can easily create a subcontract from it.

  • Create contracts from winning bids;
  • Keep contracts in draft mode while you’re still negotiating;
  • Keep contracts next to your project and connected to the budget line items.

Collect valuations and variations with one click

You can have the subcontractor submit the progress reports against the contract. This is all done in a simple web-based environment that even the most computer-challenged subcontractor will manage.

  • Create contracts from winning bids;
  • Keep contracts in draft mode while you’re still negotiating;
  • Keep contracts next to your project and connected to the line items in the budget.

"I chose Planyard because it stood out as the most straightforward and intuitive option on the market. I really wanted a tool that would simplify our existing processes and make everything more efficient, rather than switching to a system that was far too complicated for us to use on a daily basis."

"Planyard has completely replaced my CVR process. Cost Value Reconciliation is essentially about tracking your budget against your actual spend to see exactly what remains, and that functionality is the absolute essence of the central core of Planyard."

"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."

Paul Howarth, Experienced FD/Consultant

"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."
