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.

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.
In the world of construction project management, data is not often seen as a tangible asset. However, when managed effectively, data can prove to be a powerful resource that contributes to the success and efficiency of projects. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of data as an asset in construction project management and discuss how it can help streamline processes and ensure the delivery of a facility with audit-ready trusted data.
Construction projects involve various complex and interconnected activities, from planning and design to execution and delivery. Throughout these stages, a vast amount of information is generated, such as drawings, specifications, schedules, and budgets. This data holds valuable insights that can drive informed decision-making and improve project outcomes.
Historically, construction project management heavily relied on manual processes and paper-based systems. However, with the advancement of technology, the industry has witnessed a digital transformation. Project management software solutions, such as construction management platforms and Building Information Modeling (BIM), have become prevalent, enabling the collection, storage, and analysis of project data in a more efficient and structured manner.
When project teams recognize and leverage data as a strategic asset, they can unlock its full potential to optimize project outcomes. Here are some key ways in which data can be used as an asset in construction project management:
Data-driven decision-making is a cornerstone of successful project management. By leveraging accurate and up-to-date project data, construction project managers and teams can make informed choices that are based on objective insights. For example, analyzing historical project data can help identify potential risks and cost overruns, enabling proactive risk mitigation strategies and cost control measures.
Efficient data management processes contribute to improved productivity throughout the project lifecycle. By having access to real-time data and automated workflows, project teams can streamline communication, collaborate effectively, and eliminate bottlenecks. This allows for faster decision-making, reduced rework, and improved resource allocation.
Data plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of construction projects. By capturing and analyzing data related to construction processes, materials, and performance, project teams can identify areas for improvement and implement corrective measures. This, in turn, leads to the delivery of projects with higher quality standards and increased customer satisfaction.
The construction industry is heavily regulated, and compliance with various safety, environmental, and building codes is paramount. Data management practices that capture and document project information in a structured and auditable manner contribute to compliance efforts. They provide a trail of evidence that demonstrates adherence to regulations, simplifying the auditing process and reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties.
Data becomes an invaluable asset during the handover of a construction project. A well-managed dataset that captures all project data, including design documents, as-built information, maintenance schedules, and warranties, creates a valuable digital twin. This digital representation of the facility ensures a smooth transition from construction to operations, enabling effective facility management, maintenance, and future renovations.
To fully harness the potential of data as an asset in construction project management, project teams should follow data management best practices. These include:
Establishing clear data governance policies and procedures ensures that data is managed systematically and consistently across the project. This involves defining roles and responsibilities, data ownership, data quality standards, and data access controls.
Integrating data from various sources, such as design models, project schedules, and financial systems, provides a comprehensive view of the project and enables seamless data exchange between stakeholders. Technologies like BIM and data integration platforms facilitate this process.
Protecting project data from unauthorized access and ensuring its integrity is crucial. Implementing robust data security measures, such as encryption, secure cloud storage, and access controls, safeguards sensitive project information and mitigates the risk of data breaches.
Leveraging data analytics tools and techniques allows project teams to gain valuable insights from project data. Advanced analytics can help identify trends, predict risks, and optimize resource utilization, thereby improving project outcomes.
Data management practices should be continuously reviewed and improved to adapt to changing project requirements and emerging technologies. Regular data audits and stakeholder feedback help identify areas for improvement and ensure data remains relevant and valuable.
In the construction industry, data should be regarded as a valuable asset rather than a mere byproduct of project activities. By recognizing the importance of data and implementing effective data management practices, construction project managers and teams can streamline processes, improve decision-making, enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and deliver projects with audit-ready trusted data. Embracing data as an asset empowers construction professionals to unlock the full potential of their projects and drive successful outcomes.
