What’s driving
your finish date?

Driving Path is four schedule tools for construction. Build the CPM, present it, plan the next three weeks and run the monthly reports. They open the P6, Microsoft Project and Excel files you already have, right in the browser. Nothing is uploaded.

A2000The tools

One schedule.
Four ways to work it.

The same fifteen activities, start to finish. Scroll, and watch them rearrange for whoever needs them next: the scheduler, the owner, the superintendent, the monthly report.

Riverbend WRF Phase 2 is a fictional sample project. Every tool opens on it.

01 Build

Driving Path CPM

Get the logic right.

A full critical path scheduler. Tie the work together, set baselines, and trace the driving path to any activity, not only to the finish. When something changes, run the delay through a time impact analysis and see what it costs.

  • Gantt, baselines and DCMA checks
  • Driving path tracing and time impact analysis
  • Reads and writes P6, Microsoft Project and Excel
Open CPM

02 Present

Driving Path Viewer

Make it readable.

Twelve view designs and ten palettes turn the same file into an executive timeline, a proposal sheet or a critical path spotlight. Mark it up, compare two updates, then print exactly what you see. It never edits the schedule.

  • 12 views × 10 palettes, or your brand colors
  • Comments that stay on their activities across updates
  • Vector PDF, PNG and SVG that match the preview

03 Plan

Lookahead Studio

Hand it to the field.

Cut a two to twelve week window out of the schedule, break activities into the sub-items a foreman actually talks about, and group the work by WBS or by company. Print it for the Monday meeting.

  • Timeline, Calendar and Board layouts
  • Field sub-items under each activity
  • Print-ready PDF, PNG and Excel

04 Report

Driving Path Reports

Send the monthly.

Twenty-one reports that start with what matters: summary tiles and key findings computed from the schedule. What drives the finish, what slipped, what to fix. Run one, or run the whole package.

  • DCMA 14-point health check
  • Update comparison, month over month
  • PDF, a combined report book, and Excel

A3000The monthly update

Ten reports.
One click.

The package an owner asks for every month, in the order they ask for it. Each report prints the way it previews, page breaks and all.

0.00seconds for the sample project

10 PDFs Report book.pdf Workbook.xlsx

And eleven more when you need them: schedule health check, update comparison, milestones, three-week lookahead, near-critical work, open ends, constraints, variance, and a custom report builder.
