Building Operations Software

The best real estate and property management software is the one that meets your company’s requirements. Depending on the nature of your portfolio, you might have different needs. Retail has different requirements to a residential portfolio, which has different needs to warehousing or logistics properties. You might also have different requirements depending on the scale of your company and the size of your team. Do you directly oversee facilities managers or do you contract an external FM company? PlanRadar works for facility managers, whether they’re set up as users or as free subcontractor accounts. Ultimately, the best real estate software solves your specific problems and doesn’t take a huge amount of time and effort to implement.

PlanRadar can be used by a wide range of real estate professionals. For portfolio management, asset managers can use PlanRadar to keep the latest blueprints, drawings and BIM models of their projects located in a central location. They can also use the property development app to collaborate with contractors on refurbishment projects, get live updates and share progress reports. For property management, both property managers and facility managers can use PlanRadar to track daily work, log predictive maintenance and assign work to external vendors. PlanRadar allows you to add watchers to projects free of charge, so property owners can log in and monitor their portfolio without needing to pay for an additional license.

Step one when identifying the best real estate management software for you is to consider what your business really needs. Decide which features are vital and which would be good to have but aren’t necessary. Step two is researching the software that is on the market and using your checklist of essential features to build a shortlist. Step three is testing different kinds of software using free trials, attending webinars or booking personal demonstrations. Request prices from real estate property management software providers and research the level of support included and the level of training you’ll need to start using the software. Finally, assess the results of your research to decide which one fits you best.

If you’re a real estate developer, PlanRadar can help you to collaborate with contractors and subcontractors during the design and build phases of your projects. First, it offers a central location for plan sharing and annotation, so that you can easily pass information back and forth during design. This feature is also compatible with BIM models. During the construction phase, you can use PlanRadar’s real estate development app to track all activity on your site, monitor progress and generate bespoke reports for stakeholders.

Absolutely. For properties that you are responsible for maintaining, PlanRadar is an ideal solution for both predictive and reactive maintenance. For predictive maintenance, the app allows you to create recurring tickets for inspections and maintenance that you need to carry out on a regular basis. You can even add external contractors to your project so that they receive a notification when it’s time for them to come in. They can then communicate with you in the app to confirm an appointment and then log that they have completed the necessary work. The same is true for reactive maintenance – when you find something that needs immediate action, you can create a ticket and send it to one of your preferred contractors to repair, complete with a notice of priority and a deadline.

Yes, PlanRadar can be integrated with several other software solutions. PlanRadar offers an open API and Webhooks, so if there’s a specific integration that you need, there is usually a solution to achieve your goals. For document sharing, PlanRadar also integrates with Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive.
