Problems it solves
The recurring questions planners are asked, and where the answer usually gets lost between a programme, a model and a spreadsheet.
The programme and the model say different things
Activities and model objects are matched by hand, in spreadsheets, and the match breaks the moment the programme is revised.
How Insight Plan helps: Link groups connect activities to objects by rules on their properties. After a revision they re-run, and a check shows the activities and objects left unlinked.
Nobody sees the concrete and rebar peaks until the site does
A programme can look sensible while asking for twice the normal pour or rebar volume in a few weeks.
How Insight Plan helps: Weekly and cumulative concrete and rebar charts come straight from the programme's resources. Overlay a baseline and a new draft to see where they differ.
What did the latest revision actually change?
Comparing two programmes by eye, or by exporting both to Excel, takes days and still misses things.
How Insight Plan helps: Overlay two programmes and their curves, compare dates, and try what-if changes to see their effect before you commit to one.
The sequence is hard to explain to people who do not read Gantt charts
Project managers, clients and construction teams need to see the order of work, not a bar chart.
How Insight Plan helps: Play the build forward in 4D and export images or video. Show two options side by side in the same view, or use the compare slider.
The tools want your data on someone else's server
Sensitive projects cannot upload models and programmes to a cloud service, or wait for IT to approve one.
How Insight Plan helps: It runs in your browser and works without an internet connection once installed. No account, no telemetry, and your files stay in your project folder.
Sharing a programme without sharing the project
A programme often has to go to a third party with names, codes and people removed.
How Insight Plan helps: An anonymise tool replaces names and codes consistently so a programme can be shared safely.
Models from different teams collide on site
Structure, architecture and services are modelled separately, and the overlaps only show up when the work reaches the same place.
How Insight Plan helps: Every model is checked against itself and against the others, on the real geometry. Overlaps and contacts are listed with both objects and the gap, and open in 3D.
You need more than P6 offers, without another server
P6 gives the programme, but not the model, the quantities, the look-ahead or the checks planners are asked for.
How Insight Plan helps: One desktop tool adds 4D, clash detection, concrete and rebar peaks, look-ahead, PPC, risk and quality checks on the same P6 files.
