Yardstone
More projects, less overhead.

CRE accounting, automated.

Yardstone is the cost accounting and AP copilot for CRE development and construction. It reads every document, codes it to the budget and looks for problems, saving your team time and money.

The problem

Overhead is eating your money and your time.

Your team's time is going to paperwork and not projects

Real estate development contends with a lot of administrative overhead: invoices to code, vendors to chase, draws to assemble, and reports to update. Worse, critical project information is scattered across emails and trapped in PDFs and Excel spreadsheets.

Every new project brings more work, so growing has meant hiring.

CRE accountants and project managers who…

  • 75%

    spend 2+ hours/week just organizing files

  • 43%

    say they spend too much time on data entry

  • 40%

    spend 12+ hours per month on loan draws
