Context

Planera is a collaborative construction scheduling platform designed to streamline project planning and coordination.

It helps field teams and planners create, update, and manage schedules in real time, improving transparency, resource allocation, and overall productivity across complex construction projects.

Goal

Our mission was to design an intuitive scheduling and project management platform that helps construction teams plan projects accurately, collaborate seamlessly, and track progress in real time

Outcomes

Collaborative Planning

Enabled multiple stakeholders to align and collaborate around a shared project schedule.

Visual Scheduling

Complex construction timelines simplified through visual planning tools and intuitive workflows.

Operational Efficiency

Centralized scheduling and resource management improved coordination and project execution.

Accessible Technology

Designed interfaces that allowed even non-technical users across the construction ecosystem to adopt the platform easily.

CPM Canvas Planning

Visual workspace enables teams to create and adjust project schedules collaboratively.

Risk Simulation Tools

Forecast scenarios and identify scheduling risks before they impact project timelines.

Progress Visualization

Dashboards and progress curves help teams track project performance and milestones.

Unified Project Workspace

A single platform integrates scheduling, resources, and updates across teams.

Interactive planning canvases and S-curve charts allow teams to create, organize, and adjust construction schedules visually.

Dashboards provide clear visibility into project progress, schedule variance, and overall performance.

Structured workflows and system maps define relationships between projects, resources, dashboards, and scheduling modules.

A comprehensive design system of colors, typography, icons, and reusable UI components ensures consistency across the platform.
