About KonstructIQ is an AI-powered construction and financial platform designed for residential general contractors, remodeling firms, and home builders. It consolidates the full project lifecycle, from fast, professional estimates to budgeting, invoicing, payments, change-order management, cost tracking, subcontractor coordination, and real-time reporting, into a single interface. Its estimating module enables contractors to build detailed bids quickly, using customizable cost codes, markup or margin calculations, and either cost-plus or fixed-price models. Once an estimate is approved, it becomes the project budget; every subsequent bill, invoice, or change order automatically updates the budget so contractors maintain accurate job costing and profitability oversight. Payments to subcontractors or suppliers are built in, and support methods like ACH, checks, debit/credit cards, virtual cards, or Zelle, and invoices can be paid directly by clients through a portal to speed up cash flow.

		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We were looking a long time for a software that covers our complete workflow. With Planyard we found a good solution for making estimates, send bid requests, evaluate the prices, make orders and follow up progress reports. This makes our project financials easier and always up to date. I finally don't have to work in Excel anymore or do duplicate data entry. The subcontractors do the work for me when they report progress through commitments or respond to RFQs. Fizure also does budget calculations for me. Everything is kept up to date and the forecasts work in real time. I don't have to stay up all night to do the calculations manually when the month's end approaches and everyone wants to get paid. Commitments and invoicing work great there. In addition I save around an hour per RFQ because Fizure automates this process and makes RFQs easily comparable. That adds up to several workdays per project. Super helpful and responsive support staff who are the actual developers, not a call centre worker reading from a script. Planyard takes away a lot of the headaches from manual data entry and keeping spreadsheets up to date. Gives a clear and easy visual display of your construction budgets and links to Xero so your bookkeeping is in sync with your spending and your budget. Its automated so it significantly reduces data entry. It eliminates many potential errors, for example that you would get on Excel. The data is accessible real time to aid cost control and decision making. Expensive QS's/PM's can focus on value added activities rather than filling out spreadsheets. If a QS leaves, the data is there and it's easy for a new QS to take over. Eliminates estimating errors. Better & quicker cost control and sign off of variations from clients. It keeps being updated with new useful features. What I like most is the logical and easy structure of the software. It is frankly quite easy to use and helps me save time by doing the mathematics for me. It is well organized and helps everybody involved to be on the same page. In addition you can slightly customize it to make sure you see information that is important to you but still keep you updated on what your colleges are up to. Without reading the manual it is easy to grasp what is going on and once you have done some command or task it is like you have worked on it for years. Cons We needed a better tool for specification sheets, which they didn't initially have. They have now added this and most of our workflows are covered. There were no consolidated invoices in the beginning, but now they are available and I am happy! There have been a few niggles over time with functionality and usage, but the Planyard team have been quite remarkable at listening and improving the product almost in real-time in response to feedback from myself and others. As the product evolves it becomes better and better suited to the task in hand and is now an essential part of our workflow. I didn't find it sooner! Some of the terminology was confusing but this has been updated now. And there is a detailed explanation attached to every box within the software. The support team are also very willing to help if you have any queries. There really aren't any aspects of the software that I don't like. I really enjoy using it.
