Planning task
Construction scheduling over weeks and months.
Construction and project scheduling decides when each trade works, when material arrives and when crane, scaffold or test bay are needed. Optimized means: finished earlier, shorter rentals, less material waiting on site, and buffers where the weather needs them.
Rules in the model
What the plan keeps, without anyone checking by hand.
Use cases
Seeing is believing.
Every case plays in your browser: the plan in time-lapse, with KPIs and the comparison to the usual way of planning.
WeeksHouse build · project schedule
A detached house with basement, built by 20 trades from 38 candidate companies with their own calendars. 22 deliveries to a small site, crane and scaffold rented by the day.
WeeksBridge build · construction schedule
A motorway bridge with 4 spans over a river and a farm road. Two crews, one crawler crane and one deck formwork set, with curing times and a weather calendar.
21:30Motorway renewal · closures and crews
A 12 km motorway stretch renewed in 16 work zones. Night closures or weekend full closures, 2 milling machines, 2 paver trains and 1 to 5 asphalt crews compared.
07:10Ready-mix concrete · one day of pours
16 truck mixers bring 786 m³ from two plants to 12 construction sites. Every pour should run without a break, and the concrete must be placed within 90 minutes.
WeeksPlant engineering · multi-project planning
Eight customer projects over nine months share engineers, welders, fitters, two assembly bays, one test stand and the commissioning team. One plan for all projects, against contract dates.
Approach
From the first call to value in operation.
-
Stage 1Clarify
- UnderstandGoals, terms, rules, data, bottlenecksEntry: Planning Snapshot, Assessment or Strategy
- AssessPotential, business case, feasibility, risks
DecisionIs it worth it?
-
Stage 2Build
- DesignPlanning model, rules, data, interfacesEntry: training or model review
- PilotReal scenarios, value proven before much is invested
- Roll outIntegration, training, go-live
DecisionDoes the pilot deliver what it promised?
-
Stage 3Run
- StabiliseAccompany the first real planning rounds, sharpen the rulesEntry: support after go-live
- ImproveWatch the KPIs, take in new requirements
CycleWhen operations change, we adapt the rules and the plan.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace our project management tool?
No. Dates and dependencies come from there, and the optimized schedule goes back.
What happens when there is a delay?
The plan is recalculated from the current state and shows which milestones move.
Does it work across several projects?
Yes. One use case plans several plant engineering projects that share assembly bays, a test bay and crews.
