For years, Paulsen Construction wrestled with scheduling tools that looked accurate on paper but fell apart in reality. Critical path logic was missing. Field schedules disrupted the master schedule. Teams resorted to spreadsheets and “best-guess” timelines. As Director of Project Management Jason Bartschi explains, previous tools made it “too easy to lie to ourselves and sometimes even to our customers about where we really stood.”Switching to Planera gave the team what they had been missing:

A true logic-based schedule that eliminates unrealistic sequencing
A visual, canvas-based view that owners and teams immediately understand
Field schedules that connect without breaking the master plan
Fast, frustration-free updates for both office and field teams
Early visibility into delays, enabling proactive decision-making

In just a few months, Paulsen Construction has already seen stronger collaboration, more consistent weekly updates, and clearer communication with project partners and executives. Superintendents and project managers who were initially hesitant to switch now praise Planera’s usability and the confidence it brings to project planning.
