PlanRadar, a company specializing in digital construction management platforms, has introduced a new scheduling tool. Called Gantt View, the new tool addresses construction and maintenance challenges, providing task oversight and helping meet deadlines.

Gantt View adds to PlanRadar’s existing platform by visualizing the key phases in a project. Users can create project schedules based on a standard Gantt model. 

Gantt View works within PlanRadar’s existing ticket functionality. It allows users to plan the project journey, enabling them to build charts from existing task lists, plot milestones and highlight priority actions. Assisting with the identification of potential issues early on, it directly prevents delays and ensures projects are on track. 

The new feature also highlights delays for resolution. As changes to the project plan occur, users can drag and drop items to update the schedule. Additionally, it allows project managers to stay on top of any changes or developments.

In conjunction with other scheduling software, customers can import schedules from Primavera P6, Microsoft Project or ASTA Powerproject. Users can then add their PlanRadar tickets within the schedule and modify the phases within PlanRadar, as needed.

“The success of any project comes down to the ability for the team to stay on track. Nowhere is this more true than in construction, where the slightest error or defect can have huge ramifications. Furthermore, with so many different players involved in the planning, construction and handover phase, keeping on top of every aspect requires a clear and robust schedule, with responsibilities clearly allocated. Failure to achieve this, risks deadlines being missed, resulting in costly delays,” said Ibrahim Imam, PlanRadar co-founder and co-CEO.

“PlanRadar’s schedule is designed to prevent this, equipping project managers with an intuitive tool with which they can track project progress, whilst providing oversight to other relevant personnel.”
