Overview
- Company: Regional GC (Commercial build-outs)
- Team: 6 PMs, 12 Supers, multi-site projects
- Goal: Improve schedule reliability and cut overruns
- Timeframe: 90-day rollout, 2 projects in pilot
Moving from spreadsheet-based schedules to CPM scheduling with real-time updates helped this GC spot risks early and keep milestones on track.
Challenge
- Siloed schedules and outdated versions across email/Excel
- No visibility into critical and near-critical tasks
- Field updates lagging office decisions by days
- Manual reporting consuming PM time weekly
Solution
- CPM Scheduling: Dependencies, constraints, calendars
- Alerts: Late/at-risk tasks, approval workflows
- Collaboration: Role-based access, comments, drawings
- Dashboards: KPIs, variance, and progress in one place
- Field Updates: Daily logs, photos, inspections via mobile
We piloted CPMSOFT on two multi-tenant build-outs, then standardized workflows and rolled out training across PMs/Supers.
Results (90 days)
- 20% reduction in schedule delays (critical path tasks)
- 35% faster weekly reporting for PMs
- Fewer change orders from earlier risk detection
- Happier stakeholders from predictable milestone updates
Savings came from catching at-risk tasks early, aligning subs on dependencies, and reducing manual status chores.
