Take on more projects, not more overhead.
The financial workspace for running a real estate development project. Yardstone assembles the draw, budget, and reporting; your team just reviews and approves.
Review instead of prep · Eliminate data entry · Sits above the books you keep
Realtime numbers, updated as documents land. The budget is right whenever you check.
Until now, more projects meant more overhead.
Each project brings documents to track, vendors to manage, draws to assemble, and reports to rebuild. Scaling up your projects has meant hiring up.
Yardstone breaks the cycle, so you can take on more, with less.
Every change, recorded the moment it happens.
A living record of what moved, when, and by whom. So when anyone asks for an update, you don't assemble the answer. You open it.
Assembled for you, reviewed by you.
Bring it together
Connect your budget, contracts, invoices, and vendor docs. One source of truth, no spreadsheets to rebuild.
Yardstone assembles it
It reads, codes, and categorizes every document as it lands: each invoice and contract to the right cost line. The draw builds itself, the budget updates, the reporting stays ready. Your team reviews instead of entering data. Automatic checks for anything that doesn't tie out are on the way.
Approve, and it goes out
Draw packages and partner updates go out ready to send, not rebuilt from scratch.

Realtime numbers, updated as documents land, so the budget is right whenever you check.
Compliance, handled
Track COIs and lien waivers, and flag what's about to expire.
Made for everyone on the team.
Know where every project stands, and never get caught off guard when capital asks.
The draw, the chasing, and the data entry, handled.
Approvals cleared, and a record you can close the books against.
For teams running active development projects
Keep your books. Keep your process. Yardstone is the layer on top that assembles draws, budgets, and reporting. It adds to your stack without disrupting it.
"Assembling a draw is a pain. When we're reviewing in real time instead of compiling and chasing paperwork, we finally get our time back—and can put it into work that actually makes us money." Stephen (CPA), VP, Avenue Development
Starts at $500 a month.
For teams running real projects. No long implementation, no six-figure contract, no surprises.
See a draw assembled for you.
Start with a 30-minute walkthrough. Like what you see? We'll set up one of your real projects, risk free.
Every phase of the project, assembled for you.
Yardstone helps you manage your budget, capital stack, planning, and reporting. We automate the tedious work so your team just reviews.
Book a demoSet the budget once. It stays current.
Realtime numbers, updated as documents land. Build the project budget and Yardstone keeps it current, reading invoices as they arrive and tracking amendments and transfers as the plan moves. Nothing to maintain by hand. Automatic checks for anything that doesn't tie out are on the way.
Run the build without the busywork.
Invoices, contracts, and vendor documents all in one place and automatically organized. Track commitments per vendor, stay ahead of expiring COIs and lien waivers, and let the monthly draw assemble itself, ready for your team to review instead of build.
Reporting made easy.
Stop wasting time assembling reports. Draw packages and partner updates come out ready to send. Every change is on the record, so when anyone asks what moved, you already have the answer.
Pick what belongs in the draw and the package assembles in one click. Invoices already drawn never show up twice, and you can add supporting documents to any package, site photos included.
The draw package, assembled and ready to send.
Every draw shows its budget impact by cost code: budget, commitments, invoiced, and remaining.
Adds to your stack. Disrupts nothing.
Nothing to rip out
QuickBooks and your process stay exactly where they are. Yardstone works on top: draws, budgets, and partner reporting, synced both ways.
One job, done exceptionally
All-in-one platforms do everything, but rarely everything well. Yardstone does one thing at the highest level: the financial story of your project.
Your capital-side layer
For the owner and the money, not the GC's field ops. Budget, draws, vendors, and partner reporting in one place, on the tools you already use.
Your financials stay private, and under your control.
Yardstone holds your draws, budgets, contracts, and vendor data, and keeps it private, with you in charge of who sees what.
You control accessSet permissions by person and by project, so the right people see the right numbers and no one else.
A complete audit trailEvery change is recorded with who made it and when, so nothing happens off the record.
Yes. It's built for lean teams running a handful of active projects, not enterprise portfolios. If spreadsheets have stopped keeping up, it fits.
No. Yardstone sits above your accounting software and syncs both ways, so you enter things once. QuickBooks is supported today: approve an invoice or mark a bill paid in Yardstone and it flows into QuickBooks, and changes in QuickBooks flow back the other way. Sage support is on the way.
Days, not quarters. Onboarding your first project can be done in an afternoon.
Yardstone uses AI to analyze your documents and automatically extract the data. Every number extracted by AI can be traced back to its source, and we make it easy for your team to verify everything quickly. When a document is ambiguous, Yardstone asks you instead of guessing.
Yes. Your data is encrypted and stored within your company's dedicated workspace, where it is only shared with the users you invite. Yardstone never uses your data to train AI models for other companies.
See your next draw, already reconciled.
A 30-minute walkthrough on your projects, not a generic pitch. Bring a real budget and we'll show you how it would work.
Request received.
Thanks. We'll reply within one business day.

- Google Maps Platform APIs: to power location-based features.
We do not sell your data for monetary consideration. Some of the third-party analytics technologies on our marketing website (see Section 4) may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under certain US state privacy laws. We do not engage in this on the Yardstone web application, and it never involves data accessed through Google APIs. You can opt out as described in Section 11.
4. Cookies and other tracking technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and pixels to maintain security, save your preferences, support core site functions, and understand how our Services are used. We work with third-party analytics and business-intelligence providers (currently Google Analytics, PostHog, and ZoomInfo) to measure usage of our website and improve our Services. We do not use these technologies, or the data they collect, for advertising.
One of these providers, ZoomInfo, identifies business visitors to our marketing website. This is used only on our public website, not within the Yardstone web application, and does not involve any data accessed through Google APIs. This identification may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under certain US state privacy laws; you can opt out as described in Section 11, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid opt-out.
These website analytics technologies apply to visitors of our marketing website and Services. They do not apply to data we access through Google APIs (including Google Drive), which is governed solely by Section 12.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how our Services are used. You can opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. AI-based products
We offer features powered by artificial intelligence through third-party AI providers, including Anthropic and Google Cloud AI. Your inputs, outputs, and related information may be shared with these providers to operate AI features. Where these AI features operate on data accessed through Google APIs (including Google Drive), that data is handled as described in Section 12: it is processed only to provide the feature to you, our AI providers are contractually prohibited from using it to train or improve their models, and it is not used to develop, improve, or train any generalized or non-personalized AI or machine-learning models.
Our AI products are used for: text analysis, data extraction, AI automation, AI insights, and AI applications. You must not use our AI products in ways that violate any AI provider's terms or policies.
6. How long do we keep your information?
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by law. We will not keep your information longer than 180 days after your account is terminated.
When there is no longer a legitimate need to process your data, we will delete or anonymize it. If immediate deletion is not possible (e.g., data held in backups), we will securely isolate it until deletion is feasible.
7. How do we keep your information safe?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no internet transmission or storage technology is 100% secure.

12. Data shared via third-party services
Limits on your Google Drive data
If you link Yardstone with your Google account or Google Drive, our use of that data is subject to these additional restrictions:
- What we access and why. To sync the folders you choose, including files you add to them later, Yardstone uses Google's read-only Drive scope (
drive.readonly). Google does not offer a folder-level scope that also covers newly added files, so this is the narrowest scope that supports continuous folder sync. Although this scope technically grants read access to your Drive, Yardstone only accesses, downloads, and processes the specific folders you designate for syncing. We do not read or index other files in your Drive. - Use limited to features you can see. We use the data we access only to provide and improve user-facing features of Yardstone that are visible and prominent in its interface. For example, syncing your selected folders, extracting text from documents (such as OCR on invoices), and indexing their contents so you can search and retrieve them. We do not use this data for any other purpose.
- AI and machine learning. We do not use, retain, or transfer your Google Workspace data to develop, improve, or train generalized or non-personalized AI or machine-learning models. Where AI-powered features operate on your data, such as answering questions about your own documents, they do so solely to provide that feature to you, and any third-party AI providers we use are contractually prohibited from training their models on your data or using it for any purpose other than serving you.
- Copies of your files. Yardstone stores copies of the files in your selected folders and keeps them in sync as you add or change files, so we can index them and provide search and retrieval. We do not copy data outside your selected folders. We retain these copies only while your Google Drive is connected. If you disconnect Google Drive, we delete the synced copies, including any held in backups, within 30 days. If you close your account, your data is removed as described in Section 6.
- No sale, no ads, no transfers. We do not sell or transfer your Google data to third parties, including advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers, and we do not use it to serve ads (including retargeting or personalized or interest-based advertising) or to determine credit-worthiness. We share this data only with service providers who process it on our behalf to deliver these features under confidentiality obligations, with your consent, where necessary for security, or to comply with applicable law. We may also transfer this data as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will obtain your explicit consent before your Google data is transferred.
- Limited human access. Extraction, indexing, and search are performed by automated systems. We do not allow any person to read your Google data unless: (a) you have given us your affirmative agreement to view specific files, for example, when you request support and authorize us to access them; (b) it is necessary for security purposes, such as investigating a bug or abuse; (c) it is necessary to comply with applicable law; or (d) the data has been aggregated and anonymized and is used for internal operations consistent with applicable privacy and legal requirements.
- Compliance. Yardstone's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
