Protect Your Projects—and Profits—with Proper Documentation

The risk of litigation is a shared concern among project stakeholders. Globally, construction disputes are escalating—the average dispute value rose from $ 30 million in 2019 to $ 54 million in 2020, according to Arcadis. Proper documentation is crucial to defending against costly claims and disputes, as this proactive measure mitigates the possibility of misrepresentation or manipulation.

MySmartPlans is the solution for streamlining collecting and organizing documentation across all project phases. Our software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology integrates all files and information from other systems into a single, easily searchable online database. We eliminate the notorious data silos that hinder collaboration and impede access to crucial project details. Once construction wraps up, all data is imported effortlessly into a facilities management program to support building operations.

Digital Information Librarians (DILs) are another key differentiator of MySmartPlans. Our in-house project information managers audit all files for errors and omissions and track down any missing documents.

“MySmartPlans is a highly effective risk management tool proven to streamline the construction business and prevent litigation,” says Shelley Armato, founder, and CEO of MySmartPlans. “We provide the fuel to improve transparency and accountability. We drive faster, more informed decision-making to keep projects on track and under budget.”

Simple to integrate into a project’s digital workflow, MySmartPlans helps owners, general contractors, architects and subcontractors build with confidence.
