About MySmartPlans
Born from Hard-Won Experience, Built for Unshakeable Control:
MySmartPlans isn’t just another software company; it’s the culmination of resilience and expertise forged in the crucible of construction chaos. Co-founders Shelley (CEO) and Dominick (President), a highly successful 45-year contractor, experienced firsthand how a single project plagued by insufficient data could unravel decades of success, forcing them to close their previous company’s doors.
They didn’t just rebuild; they reinvented construction project management to conquer the very issues that cost them dearly.
MySmartPlans delivers unparalleled project control through a unique fusion of advanced technology and dedicated human expertise. We embed an experienced Digital Information Librarian directly into your team. These specialists are far more than support; they are the catalyst for rigorous Data Governance, meticulously organizing every document and data point.
This creates radical transparency and efficiency, drastically mitigating the risks associated with poor document oversight. For 19 years, we’ve empowered clients to deliver billions of dollars in projects on time and budget, backed by an ironclad, audited project history proven to prevent costly disputes and litigation. We offer the world’s most advanced construction intelligence solution, ensuring clarity and success from groundbreaking to handover.

Shelley is the Founder and CEO of MySmartPlans. Her husband Dominick is Co-founder and President. They suffered firsthand the effects of chaos in the industry.

They are the driving force behind Data Governance, which mitigates the risk associated with insufficient document oversight.

The MySmartPlans Manifesto
MySmartPlans has saved thousands of hours in costly rework and has allowed us to collaborate with our team members in the most efficient manner possible.
MySmartPlans helped us focus on the project rather than collection of data & documentation. The MSP team knows what needs to be included and does a great job gathering, managing and ensure timey responses on required information. It also gives us a centralized location for project documentation, giving us comfort of knowing where to find information in the future. MSP allows us to work smarter and be smarter.
Technology has made promises over the years that someday we would all be paperless and all electronic, but there has been a missing link in sharing information between groups. MySmartPlans is the medium that fills that gap.
As a construction litigator…to be able to point and click and find the documentation that relates to that specific change order, whatever, in seconds as opposed to days or weeks manually would be a game changer.
Are you noticing inefficiencies in your process, but it’s too late to turn back and implement processes now? Suddenly, you’ve lost some trust, team members are frustrated and it’s on you as a leader to rebuild a sense of morale and understanding among an entire team of consultants, contractors, and designers.
How do we begin to implement processes in the early days of a project, so we don’t have any backing up to do 6 months in? It’s going to take a monumental shift in our industry, but it can be done! Let’s break it down piece by piece.
With construction on a steep incline in today’s markets, general contractors and design firms are adapting by bringing technology to the forefront of their team’s workflows. With an enormous pool of software platforms to choose from, how do we decipher which ones are best suited for you and your team? It’s important to remember and keep in mind your true pain points prior to investigating what’s out there. Be slow to swoon over the bells and whistles of a platform, and quick to identify which tools can truly drive greater accountability, transparency, and efficiency in your projects.
It’s important to also keep in mind that while your general contractor or design firm might be bringing software to the table, you’ll want to implement something that you can take ownership of for yourself, if possible. In order to track down what your peers are doing, we would recommend joining a few different associations that encourage peer-to-peer discussion and interaction with a shortlist of proven vendors in the market (AAAE, COAA, APPA, etc.).
Construction is only half the battle. As exciting as it is to cut the ribbon on your new building or roadway, someone has to step in and maintain what you’ve just constructed for the foreseeable future. So, what’s the benefit of getting their weigh-in early? If they can offer best practices in terms of preventive maintenance solutions, then you as a construction leader can ensure that your design team is providing the information necessary to import into a facility management system. Whether facilities management information is embedded in your submittal process, or inside your BIM model, should be up to you. The internet is chalked full of resources to further investigate preventative maintenance solutions and processes – we can offer some recommendations as well!
If you have a specific vision in mind for your project, work with your team to communicate that vision in your design and bid documents as clearly as you possibly can. Get involved in your submittal approval process. Make it known early on that you expect some kind of tracking mechanism to be embedded in that process in order to drive transparency and efficiency. If we want to stay ahead of problems and change orders, we’re going to have to be as involved as possible! Having difficult conversations and acceptance of accountability isn’t always easy, but as a leader, you will be thrilled that you made those investments when you’re cutting the ribbon on a facility or roadway that finished on time and under budget.
If you have the desire to bring to our projects new levels of efficiency, transparency, and accountability, then these three tips can truly help usher in a new era for your team. Take ownership of your projects and processes, and watch the money spent on course corrections and quick fixes pour right back into your budgets!
MySmartPlans brings a new level of efficiency to your team, along with a wide array of tools and modules to do everything laid out in this article.
