CEO Who Knows The Pain....

Can you imagine starting a software company on accident?  That is exactly what happened in 2006. My husband and I purchased reprographic equipment contained in a 700 sq. foot garage with the intent to change the world of construction.  The questions came and the eyes rolled as we proclaimed our intent: to change an industry from the inside out. 
The change started with the pain of the past. For 36 years my husband ran and managed the largest painting contractor in our city. We spent our Saturdays at the job site. He called it breakfast, however, we always landed at the job site...in the job trailer...asking a series of questions...watching the project managers cut and paste changes to the drawing from the week before. To fix this, we focused on current delivery of information then transformed that process - by eliminating the online plan rooms, making the drawings 'smart', and allowing everyone to see all information regarding the job.  Every facet of information from as-builts to job photos is deposited in a living archive from day one. This piece is priceless! Big dreams equal big results! Today we manage over $3.5 billion dollars in live construction projects.  Our owners are mandating us and insurance companies push us.  The accident became real. The words spoken became true: revolutionizing construciton one project at a time!

Driven by the Mouse..

Technology today is so complicated for the end-user. What should I push? Where should I go? What is my password?  MySmartPlans is designed to be driven by the mouse; one click and there is your document. Can you imagine a subcontractor searching for documents? Yikes! Transparency is the key. Silo behavior is gone and the door to communication is now open. 

Safety Lives...

Finally the wave is catching on with the banking industry. The meeting went like this:  Mr. Banker, can you imagine complete transparency when lending your money?  Quiet..I do now?  MySmartPlans to the rescue. Can you click a button and read meeting minutes?  Do you have the ability to see changes, pictures, and videos of the project?  Quiet..then out comes the pen. Where do I sign?  I have a 100 million dollar loan in process and you will be written in the conditions.

One more opportunity to save the day!

Everyone is Talking..

MySmartPlans loves to hear from the cheerleaders of our service. Yesterday at lunch I was stopped by a large subcontractor who asked, "Are you with MySmartPlans?" I answered, "Yes". The subcontractors response, "We love your product! MySmartPlans has changed the way we manage our projects. Our team is all on the same page, how did you come up with this?!" 

I have to say, they must not read much because every chance I get to tell the story about how we started I do.  Here it goes again. We founded MySmartPlans from the pain of a commercial painting subcontractor. We focused on his challenges and came up with a new forward-thinking solution.

Change the chaos in your life. Create transparency and profit with the time capsule and time given back to the project.

I Can Only Imagine..,.

It's the end of a construction project. You're ready to move onto your next project and so much of your life has gone into this work. You're excited to closeout this project when it occurs to you, "How am I going to manage this project from here on out? Where where I store all of these documents?"  Electronically?!  That is how! Then you realize your electronic documents are not able to be found. Now what to do?  MySmartPlans to the rescue! Our closeout process starts day one and is available for everyone to see project photos, videos, owners training videos, smart rooms, plans, specs, etc. Plus, it's organized and easily retrieved.  MySmartPlans changes the dynamics of the project; everyone is on the same page!

Easy, Easy, Easy..We Get This All The Time...

When MySmartPlans was in development, our philosophy was "even the painter needs to know".  Easy was the word, so our thought was make it look easy on the outside but build it smart from the inside.  Documents go through a vigorous process before they make it on the MySmartPlans dashboard. 143 items are addressed before the dashboard sees them and before they go public.  Even the painter can print on demand.  Even the engineer knows what is going on with the painter. We eliminate silo behavior. We build a village armed with information.

Everyone is talking! We are performing the task to walk the walk and talk the talk. There are no more SURPRISES! Imagine your life today knowing that everyone has the documents and the risk is mitigated?
