JobPhase · Smart construction planning

From project scope to an actionable schedule.

Start with project attributes, drawings, or an Owner’s Brief. Build floor-by-floor work packages, review approvals, and export your draft network.

1 Define the job

2 Review scope and agencies

3 Build & export the CPM

Preliminary estimating tool: This tool builds editable, multi-link preliminary CPM schedules, floor-by-floor activities and location-aware agency workstreams. Durations remain provisional unless supported by validated project evidence; no licensed RSMeans data or calibrated P50/P80 forecasts are included. Review quantities, crews, calendars, sequencing and contractual milestones before relying on it.

02 · SCHEDULE WORKSPACE

Schedule & activity worksheet

Your full-width duration worksheet, Gantt, CPM logic and completion feasibility appear here.

Worksheet durations are preliminary inputs to the detailed CPM and Gantt. Rebuild the network after editing durations.

Worksheet durations are planning allowances, not validated production rates. The detailed CPM below models suggested relationships and a critical path but does not yet include resource leveling or individual activity calendars.

OPTIONAL · ADVANCED TOOLS

Historical evidence & risk analysis

Your schedule works without these. Open this area only when you want P6 imports, historical comparisons, productivity inputs or uncertainty simulations.
