Even though there was some system that can help architect or person to create house budget plan automatically, but most of the current system is strict with their template and the user cannot customize them. This study aims to build a system where an architect can easily create a house budget plan with a template or customize it. The data collection method used in this research is secondary data by using cipta karya data on the wages of workers and materials. This system is a mobile-based application with modified kanban as SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle), the process of testing this application is using blackbox, unit testing, and devbox testing methodologies. The system is any budget plan template, depending on how the user will use it. By comparing the time taken and calculating past house budget plans using this system, the architect can create a house budget plan in 30 minutes.
