Planera has announced an integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, a portfolio of software and services that combines technology, a builder network and predictive insights for construction teams. The new integration combines Planera's CPM-based scheduling software with Autodesk Construction Cloud, creating a solution for users.
Project teams can now build, analyze and optimize construction schedules from Planera directly within Autodesk Build Insights or BIM 360 Project Home dashboards.
"As Planera continues to grow and provide a user-friendly construction planning and scheduling solution, our integration with Autodesk is the next step in serving an even larger group of contractors, engineers, and architects," said Nitin Bhandari, CEO and co-founder of Planera. "By integrating with Autodesk Construction Cloud, we eliminate the hassle of switching back and forth between programs to manage construction schedules alongside other project management priorities. Now, these priorities can be approached simultaneously."
Planera's scheduling and planning tools supports Autodesk Construction Cloud by providing users access to resources that establish a scope of work for estimates, develop a baseline, maintain progress schedules and execute work with collaborative pull-planning. Planera offers resource and scenario analysis, including built-in DCMA-14 quality checks and risk analysis capabilities.
"Project teams often struggle to develop streamlined, but realistic, schedules," said James Cook, director of integrations and technology partnerships at Autodesk. "Embedding Planera into Autodesk Construction Cloud, helps teams develop and view their comprehensive project schedules alongside the critical project data managed daily in Autodesk Construction Cloud."
