Admicom Planner – construction scheduling software

You can create schedules in multiple ways, depending on the purpose and the user’s needs. A schedule can be built from scratch without prior data or, for example, by utilizing information obtained from cost estimation using Tempo. You can also copy data from Excel or enter it manually.

In Planner, you can create all schedule types in a single session using different views tailored to your needs. When tasks are edited, changes are instantly reflected across all views. For example, you can start a master schedule with a Gantt chart and later add more details for closer review in a location-based schedule view.

The Gantt chart, also known as a bar chart, is a fundamental scheduling tool used by everyone involved in project planning. It is one of the core features of Admicom Planner, and often the starting point for creating a schedule. It provides a solid foundation for master schedules, design schedules, and phase-specific schedules.

The data in the Gantt chart can be easily refined with quantities, resources, costs, and revenues to gain more detailed insights.

The location-based schedule, or diagonal schedule, has become a standard scheduling format in modern construction, particularly for projects that can be divided into multiple sections, such as staircases, floors, riser lines, blocks, and apartments. In Admicom Planner, the location-based schedule can be based entirely on an existing Gantt chart and a location division defined by the user.

Takt scheduling allows for the duration of individual tasks to be described using a flow-based approach. This makes it possible to synchronise different phases so that they immediately follow one another. With Admicom Planner’s takt scheduling feature, even converting an existing master schedule into a takt schedule is made easy.

In Planner, resource allocation provides users with additional information during schedule creation and in the finalised schedule. Enter costs and income for tasks, offering insights into task and construction site finances.

Importing information from cost estimation and the RATU.net plug-in, featuring Finland-specific production rates for various construction tasks, the resources are already prepared for the schedule, and if needed, they can be refined to suit your specific needs.

Monitor on-site progress through various methods, allowing each schedule and schedule user to choose a monitoring approach that suits them. Apart from tracking plans, you can monitor goals set for different purposes. 

Effortlessly transfer data between software, ensuring transparency and enabling data sharing in a format suitable for everyone. Create schedules for different project phases and use Planner to combine files into a streamlined, easily manageable view. 

Individual projects can be linked together into a single multi-project schedule – even covering dozens of projects. This gives you a comprehensive view of all schedules within a unit or across your entire company.

Users can choose the foundation on which to build their project. The software offers a variety of editing options, allowing schedules to be tailored to individual needs and practices. For example, ready-made views such as Gantt charts, location-based schedules, and resource views can all be customised as required.

Another useful feature for construction scheduling is the ability to define different user levels. These can be tailored to suit the roles and responsibilities within your organisation—for instance, specific functions can be assigned to site managers, project engineers, and project managers.

Admicom Tempo is an easy-to-use scheduling software designed especially for the lighter management of construction site schedules. As a browser-based application, it can be used anytime and anywhere, enabling real-time information updates for all project stakeholders.

You can use Tempo together with Planner by transferring estimation data from Tempo to Planner, or by sharing a project created in Planner with Tempo for monitoring and information sharing purposes.
