Planera

The 'P6 Alternative'

Planera exists because professional scheduling software like Primavera P6 is notoriously difficult to use. Instead of one scheduler in a dark room, the whole team — supers, PMs, even subs — can jump into a whiteboarding session and build the schedule together.

How Pricing Works

• Annual Subscription: Standard enterprise SaaS model
• Strategic Value: Positioned as a modern alternative to P6

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think Planera is best for: Commercial GCs and Heavy Civil firms who need bulletproof CPM schedules but want field teams actually involved in planning.

One thing to think about is legacy requirements. Some government contracts require .XER files (P6 format). Planera allows imports/exports, but verify your contract's requirements.

Another consideration is adoption. Because it looks like a whiteboard, superintendents who usually hate scheduling software are much more likely to participate.
