Planning

As the saying goes: “If you don’t plan, you are planning to fail.”

Yet many builders still don’t plan because, until now, planning tools have been hard to use. GamePlan changes that. Anyone can plan in GamePlan. It’s easy, it’s fast, and many people say that GamePlan actually makes planning fun!

Benefits of planning

When you plan your build, you know the exact move in date. No more guestimating. Yes, there will be unforeseen delays, so you build these into the plan. Then all you need to do is follow your plan and you’ll deliver your project on time. With much less stress.

Scheduling

GamePlan creates a resource-leveled project schedule from the project plan. A resource-leveled schedule is an achievable schedule because people are not double-booked.

When any change is made to the plan, the schedule is automatically updated.

Benefits of scheduling

The schedule tells you when all of your project deliverable dates will be achieved, so you can communicate these dates with confidence.

The schedule also shows your subcontractors when their tasks will be ready to work on. This eliminates wasted time and keeps the project on track.

Tracking

Some builders don’t plan because they believe that the plan quickly gets out of date. This is true if you do not track your project. When you track your project, your plan stays up to date.

Benefits of tracking

Tracking keeps your schedule valid, so that everyone can rely on the schedule. When there’s a delay or when a task takes longer than expected, the downstream schedule updates.

Tracking the project also shows the project status. How far through the build are you? When will it finish? This information and more is always known.
