Build on time, on schedule, and with audited as pre-discovery files that are proven to prevent litigation!

          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.

          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.

The Construction Litigation-Proof Solution

Construction litigation is a common problem in the construction industry. It refers to legal disputes that arise during or after a construction project. These disputes can be very costly, time-consuming, and stressful for everyone involved. MySmartPlans created a Litigation-Proof Solution, read below to see how it works. The Top 7 Reasons for Construction Litigation 1. Contract disputes Issue: Contract disputes are one of the most common reasons for construction litigation.

Creating the True Digital Twin: Without Adding Costs to Your Project

The Digital Twin is Complete Data Digital Twin has long been synonymous with Building Information Modeling (BIM), Revit, or 3D Models. Digital twins in construction also go by, virtual models, or next-generation as-built drawings. The digital twin concept is not new, but it is ever-improving in the digital twin market. It has transformed into a more complete snapshot of a finished construction project. Now, a true digital twin is a collection of all data through the construction process and even before the project starts. This data has to be fully collected and organized in an easy-to-view technology, for the lifecycle

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

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

Are You Suffering Transparency and Trust Issues?

Are You Suffering Transparency and Trust Issues? Published in Airport Improvement Magazine Fall 2021 From hiring owner’s reps to initiating construction management at risk, airports and other facility owners have put various models in place to create accountability during their construction projects. According to a report by Mckinsey & Co., cost and schedule overruns are the norm in the overall construction sector. It is estimated that overruns in capital expenditures for infrastructure projects average above 130% of the original quoted capital, and schedules run 20 months beyond original agreements. As a result, there’s an overwhelming lack of transparency and trust.
