          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!

          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.

          Tim Debuse

          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.

          Northwest Florida Beaches

          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…

Information Governance

Garbage in, garbage out is a common phrase, and it is ignored in the construction industry. Garbage in; disparaged data, miscommunication, lost documentation, incorrect information. Creates garbage out; rebuilds, change orders, budget issues, and schedules overages.   The idea of “chasing,” approved documents is a lifestyle choice. Decision-making is a chosen guessing game in today’s construction market! Self-governance instead of information governance is where the issue lies…   Why do owners let the fox run the chicken coup? And who makes the most money when projects are run in chaos? When a GC has all the control of documentation, they

The Results of Building with Clean Data

Build with Clean Data

Our MySmartPlans software is one of a kind and these case studies show the results of building with clean, complete, audited, searchable data.

KCMO East Patrol Station – upon inspection there were ADA infractions but they held the GC accountable with the contract and backed it up with the data obtained by MySmartPlans.

GSA NNSA – completed on time and on budget for the first time for a General Services Administration project. We created a living closeout for modifications after project completion and for facilities management.

Mountain Home Air Force Base – managed, organized, archived, and ensured no changes were made behind the owner’s back. Completed 3 months early, under budget, and during the COVID pandemic.

When you use MySmartPlans, your projects will complete on time, without litigation, and under budget!

The Magic of Disappearing Documentation

Houdini is real! Magic and disappearing documentation are alive and well. The “hide the documents” remains widespread in the construction industry. How would we know? From the financial ruin of being in the industry for 45 years, my husband was set up to fail. The general contractor held files took all the project money, and my husband decided he had enough. It was time to do something about this mess, stress, and mishandled documentation. Once the largest commercial painting company in Kansas City, we are now the leader in construction technology, allowing all stakeholders to be supported. Bitter is not

Dear Reader, Build to Defend

Published in the Airport Improvement Magazine Winter 2022 Dear Reader, You might or might not have heard of me and my company MySmartPlans. I’m a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a woman on a mission. I’m willing to have challenging conversations. In 2006, after 40 years as the largest subcontractor in Kansas City, my husband Dominick came home to tell me of his biggest challenge. My husband is Mr. Kansas City, and everyone knows him. He painted our city red. He painted heaven(churches) and hell (casinos), and state capitols. You name it he knows the color and the skeletons

Everything is Going to be OK

The least desired comment in construction is, “don’t worry, I will handle this.” In a world where our moms would coddle us and say, “it is going to be okay,” just tell your children it will be ok. Unfortunately, in construction where “grownups,” live, work, and support their families, this is the worst thing you want to hear.  I like to hear “we met your scope”, “we finished the job”, and “we were under budget.” Being from the Show Me State of Missouri, we live by the code, “SHOW ME,” MySmartPlans is a Missouri deliverable, everyone has the same information,

Finger-Pointing

The good old finger-pointing game. I have attended several workshops talking about eliminating finger-pointing in the construction industry. Impossible? Literally another IDEA of what is impossible, the game is a finger pointed to draw attention away from the issue. Yesterday I was in a meeting with an owner, he spoke about this, he was accused of saying something he FOR SURE did not say. Then the General Contractor had whipped out meeting minutes showing him their “proof”. My question to the owner was, “who composed and had custody of the meeting minutes”? He looked curiously and said, “the GC”. Have
