Frequently Asked Questions
To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled some of the most commonly asked questions.
What is preconstruction scheduling?
Preconstruction scheduling is the process of building a detailed project timeline before construction begins, typically during bidding, budgeting, and planning phases. It establishes the baseline CPM logic, identifies the critical path, sequences major milestones, and informs resource and procurement planning. Planera gives preconstruction teams a full CPM engine to build rigorous schedules from day one.
How does Planera support bid and pursuit scheduling?
Planera's visual canvas and CPM engine let preconstruction teams build detailed, logic-driven schedules quickly for bids and proposals. You can demonstrate scheduling expertise with a real CPM schedule rather than a static timeline, which differentiates your team in competitive pursuits. Schedules built during preconstruction transition seamlessly into execution.
Can preconstruction schedules be handed off to the operations team?
Yes. Schedules built in Planera during preconstruction are the same live CPM schedules the operations team will use during construction. There's no export, re-import, or rebuild needed. The logic, relationships, and milestones you establish during preconstruction carry forward intact, which eliminates the disconnect that happens when bid schedules live in one tool and execution schedules live in another.
How does CPM scheduling improve preconstruction planning?
CPM scheduling during preconstruction lets you identify the critical path before you break ground, so you know which activities will drive the timeline and where you have float. This informs procurement sequencing, labor planning, and risk assessment. Without CPM logic in preconstruction, your timeline is a guess rather than a calculated plan.
Can I use Planera for pull planning sessions during preconstruction?
Yes. Planera's visual canvas is designed for collaborative pull planning. Your team builds logic directly in the system during planning sessions, so you walk out with a live CPM schedule rather than sticky notes that need to be manually entered into a scheduling tool later.
