Zachry Construction Uses Planera to Optimize Resource Scheduling

Planera, the leader in visual CPM-based construction scheduling, today announced that Zachry Construction Corporation has selected Planera to optimize its construction resources across multiple projects.

Based in San Antonio, TX, Zachry is a privately owned construction company with more than 100 years of operating experience. Zachry focuses on the construction of large, technically unique projects around the world and specializes in heavy civil construction, transportation, utilities, and infrastructure projects. Currently ranked #222 in the ENR 400, Zachry generated $500M in annual revenue in 2024. 

Zachry actively incorporates new technologies to improve construction efficiency. Adopting Planera is a move that is consistent with the company’s drive for continuous improvement. “With Planera, we’re now managing resources across 25 different projects simultaneously,” said Ranjeet Gadhoke, vice president - project controls at Zachry Construction. “We’ve modernized an old-school process and can now use resources from crews to cranes much more efficiently. Planera allows us to do this so effectively that we’re even able to tie employee bonuses to managing our resources well.” 

Zachry has a construction portfolio of over 5,500 building and construction projects globally, and the growth potential for Planera within the Zachry ecosystem is significant. High profile projects have included the extension of the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, the construction of the San Antonio airport, and the development of the Golden Pass LNG terminal. 

“With Planera, Zachry can now make the most of both equipment and teams by maximizing utilization,” said Nitin Bhandari, CEO of Planera. “In an industry that is characterized by thin margins, Planera is helping Zachry to boost firm-wide profitability, and we’re excited to be able to have such a significant impact on our partner’s business.”
