Business Like It's 1999...
1999 new technology was online plan rooms...the wave of information. Today it's MySmartPlans! In 1999 everyone said, "Oh, I have to have paper. This is never going to work." Today, the same thing rings true in regards to the excuses some people have for NOT using MySmartPlans. Here's what hear and how we prove them wrong:
1. "The SubContractor will never use this":: We currently have over 10,000 subs using our system. They demand us.
2. "Architects will chose their own system": Currently we have 2 of the largest Architectural firms using our system, one firm alone has 22 projects with us.
3. "It is not in the budget": MySmartPlans advances the schedule as much as 30%, enough said!
4. "We have our own system": Everyone that works with us has their own system. We fill in where theirs fails.
5. "The owner will never pay for this": Invite us in to share with your owner. Be a leader not a follower. We have an 86% closing rate for owners. They see us and hire us on the spot.
6. Attorneys: "You just put our paralegals out of work". Priceless!
7. "We get electronic closeout now": We are an organized, archived, electronic closeout that is started from day one!
8. "We can build our own system"; Really? We interviewed over 700,000 contractors to build our system. It's a basic concept - make it look simple on the outside and simple to use. However, there are over 200 steps the drawings go through before they reach the dashboard.
9. "We like burning CD's": Now, we are talking to the person who's family member is in the office burning CD's. We eliminate that process...we like to call that repositioning.
10. "We don't have room on our server": We are a local application. We have our own servers that store all information. Or, if you prefer, we can reside on your servers as we do with the GSA. ,

Most Important Piece On A Toy?
What is the most important piece on a toy? The answer might be the directions. Perhaps it's the toy itself.
But I see it differently. I see it as the picture on the box that tells me what my toy is going to look like. MySmartPlans is the picture: this is how construction should look. From pre-con to closeout, everyone is on the same page and all information is available for everyone to see. Silo behavior is not effective. Today you can change the picture of your project...it is the most important part!

What Does It Cost?
We hear this all the time, "What does your service cost?"
Great question. Before I answer, I want to know what your old behavior is costing you now? What is it costing with everyone NOT being on the same page? What is your liability to risk, to safety? What does the misinformation and fingerpointing cost? We touch the docuemnt several hundred times before the dashboard sees the information. Our solution moves the schedule ahead as much as 30%. We identify an 18% variation in the budget from day one.
Our solution is .0015 of the construction budget. How can you afford not to hire us?

24 Hours Is All It Could Take...
Yesterday, this call came in, "We just viewed a demo of MySmartPlans yesterday and would like to start a project." This is a true story. One of our newest reseller's in Virginia presented a MySmartPlans demo to a nearby architecture firm who was previously unaware of our solution. This took place on Monday, February 7th, at 9am. By 8am Tuesday, the 8th, the architecture firm had our proposal in hand, and by 5pm that SAME DAY, our MySmartPlans dashboard was up and running for the new project.
From presentation to sale in less than 24 hours! That's how powerful MySmartPlans is!

The call comes in. "We would like a demo. We heard about your software and while we researched you we realized that your company has been built on grass roots...little advertising, just big results!"

What?? Subcontractors Are Asking For Mysmartplans!?
Dear Mysmartplans,
I had to share with you that your software is helping me get more opportunity! Here is why:
1. Convenience of the information at my fingertips...it couldn’t be any easier.
2. Easy exporting of the organized and bookmarked pdf’s to import into my estimating software.
3. Knowing that I have all the information i.e. calendar of upcoming bid information, addenda, site information, bidders, schedule, photos and much more.
4. Time. The speed of using MySmartPlans allows me to do my takeoff in half the time of conventional methods, i.e. paper or online planrooms.
The four points that I have mentioned above allow me more accurate information which allows me to give the GC/Owner a more accurate bid. Convenience and time are the most important factors to me as a subcontractor and time equals money.

Who Has My Documents..
Such a familiar question. "Who has the document?" "Did we approve that to be done?" "Where is the change order?" "Lawsuit? Why? I will send you the document as soon as my staff finds it." These sayings ring true even on Wall Street. Mr. Madoff was the master of this game.
MySmartPlans is eliminating this process. Mr. Madoff no longer has the ability to hide the information. In construction the documents hold so much information. Third party management is the wave of the future. Jump on our ship today!
