PlanBuildPro
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track projects by phase — Planning, Demolition, Rough-in, Finishing — with progress and budget at a glance • Open the Today screen to your site map, today's tasks, and live weather that warns you when rain, frost or wind would ruin exterior painting, concrete or roof work • Log real progress on every task — before/after photos, notes, and time on site • Compare contractor offers side by side — amount, share of your budget, day-rate and what's included — then approve one in a tap and it becomes a task • Keep materials, quantities and costs in order, with running totals • Store warranties and documents so they're there when a job needs them • Add a home-screen widget to check progress without opening the app ASK THE AI ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR RENOVATION • Permits and local building regulations for your address • Grants, subsidies and tax breaks you can claim • Realistic material and labour cost estimates • Runs on-device with Apple Intelligence — or bring your own key for Claude or GPT PART OF A TOOLKIT From the same team as WireSketch (electrical planning) and PipeSketch (plumbing planning) — three apps built around a shared room format, designed to fit together.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PlanBuildPro at none against RenovMate's shown. RenovMate's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
