          About MySmartPlans

          Shelley Armato and Dominick Armato

          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. Dominick, a 45-year contractor, was wildly successful and one project with insufficient data caused them to shut the doors on that company. But they rose again and reinvented the construction industry by streamlining the business.

          MySmartPlans is a software-as-a-service solution with an experienced digital information librarian as part of your team, who creates transparency, organization, and efficiency in construction projects. They are the driving force behind Data Governance, which mitigates the risk associated with insufficient document oversight. MySmartPlans has been improving the industry for 16 years and has a revenue aggregate of over 19 billion dollars. Build on time, on schedule, and with audited as pre-discovery files that are proven to prevent litigation!

          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.

          Craig Childers

          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.

          Rick Thompson

          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.

          Bill Quatman

          What you offer was a refreshing change because it can take weeks, sometimes months, to get documents from various parties at a construction project. And having an integrated centralized service I think is a great idea…

          Wayne Kalayjian

          It’s such an efficient way to share information. The real value is in accelerating our decision making. MySmartPlans was the one place everyone could go to get real time information.

What do Patrick Mahomes and Startups Have in Common?

Like Patrick Mahomes, start-up companies need to be:

  • Always learning and growing. Construction technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate. The way we do business is evolving at a speed beyond new projects.

Our MySmartPlans Software is constantly adding more tools to make construction safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective.

  • Solving challenges during any game/project. When Mahomes is seeing a blitz, he changes the play or moves quickly. In order for those on a construction project to be able to build properly, they need real-time, audit-ready data, point-and-click delivery, integration of all systems, protection from unnecessary change orders, communication, and complete data.

MySmartPlans has dedicated digital information librarians that seek out all daily project information and upload it to one central integrated dashboard.

 

  • Focused on protecting your assets. You need to protect the throwing arm and protect project budgets.  In the past year, The United States saw an average dispute value of $30.1 million (Arcadis, 2022). Most owners receive weekly or bi-weekly status reports that sometimes do not provide the detailed information required to identify problems early enough to avoid disputes.

Owners can protect their assets with MySmartPlans because every piece of data is captured and shared in one single, accessible system. Protect from litigation from day one!

  • We don’t need anyone’s approval; integrity is more important. Not everyone will believe in you from the start. But dig in, fight hard, and show them that you mean business and you will start winning.

MySmartPlans has brought out the dirty parts of the construction industry and we won’t stop. We know the tricks contractors use to gain more money, we know that unshared documentation creates advantages in litigation, and we know that excuses are part of every project. We also know that we don’t need to be friends with everyone on the project, but we promise to bring integrity.  

  • Building the best team around you, money is not as important as winning. Like Mahomes, maybe you take a pay cut to have a teammate you want there, catching the ball. Or maybe you create software that contractors don’t want because it stops them from cheating the system.

MySmartPlans was created because our founders lived through projects that were all about taking the most money. The construction industry is notorious for going over budget, and over schedule and now it’s “just the way it is.” We are part of your team as third-party gatekeepers ensuring all parties are doing the right thing and the project ends on time and under budget!

  • Put Family First. Being the QB with a family is tough, just like starting a company from nothing. But something we have in common is putting family first, working to create a better industry for everyone, and taking in those special moments.
  • Loyalty. Creating a team who fully trusts you and customers that can lean on you to do your job correctly.

MySmartPlans has stopped litigation on 96% of our projects, found documentation that has saved owners over $100,000 multiple times, and always keeps projects under budget.

Living in a city with the example of this type of leadership is amazing, building a company from Pixie dust creates its own type of challenges, however leading the pack leaves a trail!

Here’s to the Kansas City Chiefs, their gift to our community, and cheers to my fellow entrepreneurs out there!

Build it dream it and go do it!
