Owners insist on 3rd party document management!

Owners are insisting that a 3rd party manages all construction documents - Mysmartplans.com is that solution.  Managing documents has to be driven by all stake holders.  Transparency and efficiency is built when all parties have access to all documents.

Our owners are reporting projects ahead of schedule, and over-delivered.  Law suits have been transformed.  Knowledge is the key.  Documents hold all knowledge and until now that has been the key to confusion.  Money is made in the chaos, owners are expecting a solution.  Owners are now mandating Mysmartplans.com for all their projects!

Waiting...still waiting..it is costing me money..waiting!

We all wait. Last night my son came home. He is a sailor in the Navy. I was so excited to see him...I had waited all day!  Sometimes waiting can be so exciting, others it can be very costly.  When is it time to stop waiting and take action?  How do we decide what action to take?  In the waiting we become patient, then anxious, then angry.  I am choosing to learn to be patient, however when I am on a project I want my answers now.

Mysmartplans.com gives you real time collaberation. When you need your answers now, you must have a system in place to allow that to happen.  Typically on a project the overnight is what we are waiting for. Can you imagine what it costs to overnight?  Not the cost of the package, not even the actual service that is overnighting, the cost of the interest you are paying on the loan the project.  MySmartPlans eliminates the need for overnight. When everyone is on the same page the project is on time and under budget.  It is the little things that add up to big monsters...eliminate the monster, eliminate the wait!
