Frequently Asked Questions
To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled some of the most commonly asked questions.
How do construction companies use scheduling to win more bids?
A well-built CPM schedule in a proposal demonstrates your team understands the project's complexity, critical path, and risk areas. Planera lets preconstruction teams build logic-driven pursuit schedules quickly on the visual canvas, showing owners detailed network logic, milestones, and phasing rather than a generic timeline bar chart.
What makes a construction bid schedule stand out?
Bid schedules that show real CPM logic, including relationship types, critical path, float, and milestone dependencies, signal to owners that your team has thought through the execution plan. Planera helps you build that level of detail quickly, so your pursuit schedule isn't just a marketing document; it's a credible plan backed by real network logic.
Can I build a pursuit schedule quickly in Planera?
Yes. Planera's visual canvas is designed for rapid schedule development. Teams build pursuit schedules by dragging activities, drawing relationships, and letting the CPM engine calculate critical path and dates automatically. What used to take days in P6 can be done in hours, so your preconstruction team can respond to more RFPs without sacrificing schedule quality.
Do pursuit schedules built in Planera carry over to project execution?
Yes. Schedules built during the pursuit phase live in the same platform as execution schedules. When you win the job, the operations team picks up the same CPM logic, relationships, and milestones without re-entering anything. This continuity eliminates the disconnect that happens when bid schedules live in PowerPoint and execution schedules live in P6.
How does Planera help teams respond to RFPs faster?
Planera's visual canvas and CPM engine let preconstruction teams build proposal-quality schedules faster than traditional tools. You can create detailed network logic, visualize phasing, and generate professional schedule outputs in hours rather than days. For firms pursuing multiple projects simultaneously, this speed is a competitive advantage.
