Planera Integrates with Autodesk Construction Cloud

SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 8, 2024 – Planera, a construction critical path method (CPM) scheduling and planning solution, announced an integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. The new integration combines Planera’s innovative, CPM-based scheduling software with Autodesk Construction Cloud, creating a seamless solution for users while promoting profitability and efficiency.

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 full suite of user-friendly scheduling and planning tools complements Autodesk Construction Cloud by providing users seamless access to resources that simplify the ability to establish an accurate scope of work for more accurate estimates, develop a baseline, maintain progress schedules, and execute work with collaborative pull-planning. Planera improves schedule quality and facilitates stronger team alignment while also offering 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.”
