Tracy Young Biography

Construction companies spend $4 billion annually on expensive print drawings that need to be redone each time an error is discovered or an update is made. Project engineer Tracy Young was the only person at a sizable meeting that day in 2010 on a building site who had a current set of plans. She was frustrated by everyone stealing it and marking it up, so she decided to get a set for everyone. She was the meeting's heroine, but she also ended up with a $27,000 printing bill. Young had supper with Ryan Sutton-Gee, a friend and fellow project engineer, that evening. He interrupts me while I'm giving him the story by slamming his hand down on the table, spilling a drink, and exclaiming, "That should be in the cloud, and it should be on this iPad I just bought. PlanGrid was founded after they resigned from their jobs and brought on two other co-founders. Unlike most business software, the team intended its app to be user-friendly and straightforward. With the final output, a big team may share a master set of blueprints, together with any linked images and reports, and each team member can add their own annotations and watch their modifications take effect right away. The processes are flexible, according to Young. It is only a tool to facilitate the work of building crews. Depending on usage, prices range from free to $100 per month. PlanGrid, which has experienced growth of 200% year over year, was the most popular app in the construction sector at the end of 2014. It was utilized on more than 200,000 projects. Construction firms are making financial savings, cutting down on paper waste, and changing their plans to reduce risk and increase efficiency. After working in the field for more than 28 years, a superintendent telling Young that PlanGrid was the finest tool he had ever been given is immensely fulfilling, Young claims. Young graduated from California State University, Sacramento, with a BS in Construction Engineering Management.
