A construction project is a major challenge. PlanBuildPro helps you to organize the construction activities, to create & plan the costs, to have a detailed overview of the costs, to plan and monitor the expenses, to have all information on construction partners centrally available and to document the construction progress or defects in the photo log. All this in one app. Use the app just for yourself or together with other people. Try out PlanBuildPro: You can create a construction project and try out the app. However, a paid subscription is required for additional functions such as exporting the cost overview, construction times and tasks as a PDF, sharing projects or adding attachments in the cost overview and creating additional construction projects.
