Jacobsen Construction relies on Touchplan to help manage some of its largest and most complex projects. For Project Director Brad Bohne, who has used Touchplan since 2018, the platform has become the backbone of project scheduling, helping teams coordinate daily execution, maintain alignment across stakeholders, and manage massive volumes of work with greater consistency, visibility, and control.
Daily Planning and Real-Time Coordination
On large, multi-year projects, planning is continuous. Jacobsen teams use Touchplan throughout the day to manage everything from weekly look-ahead planning sessions to daily morning coordination meetings and afternoon progress reviews.
As Bohne explains, “We meet weekly to go over high level. We do it daily in the morning for planning. We’ll do a check-in in the afternoon to see how we did with today’s tasks. We are in Touchplan all the time. It is our go-to scheduling management software.”
By integrating planning into everyday operations, teams can quickly adjust workflows, maintain accountability, and keep work moving across highly active job sites.
Built for Large, Complex Projects
For Bohne and his teams, one of Touchplan’s biggest advantages is its scalability. Whether managing a short-term tenant improvement project or a six-year, multi-phase development, Touchplan allows teams to expand and adapt plans as projects evolve.
“The scalability is what I would say is the biggest upside,” Brad says. “Whether you have a small TI with just a few weeks of tasks or six years of a multi-phased project, the scalability is huge.”
The platform makes it easy for teams to move through different phases of construction, create new plans, manage closeout activities, and coordinate hundreds of active tasks simultaneously without losing visibility or control.
Data-Driven Visibility at Scale
On major projects with hundreds of active tickets and numerous planning boards running simultaneously, dashboards and reporting become critical management tools. Bohne emphasizes that Touchplan’s reporting capabilities help leadership quickly identify issues, track performance, and support teams before problems escalate.
“The beauty of Touchplan is I can go to a dashboard, combine all of this information quickly, filter it, and find out where the problems are, see who needs help, who missed their tickets, who didn’t start on time.”
Rather than manually reviewing hundreds of individual tasks, project leaders can use Touchplan’s reporting tools to focus attention where it matters most.
Consistency Across the Enterprise
Touchplan also provides operational consistency across Jacobsen Construction’s portfolio of projects. As superintendents and project teams move between jobsites, they can rely on the same planning processes and workflows regardless of project size or duration.
For Bohne, that consistency is one of the biggest advantages of an enterprise-wide approach to planning. “The software stays the same,” he explains. “It’s a consistency that is super valuable on an enterprise account, because no matter which project you go to at Jacobsen, there’s going to be a Touchplan available.”
By standardizing collaborative planning across the organization, Jacobsen Construction has created a repeatable system that supports scalability, improves visibility, and helps teams manage highly complex projects with greater confidence and control.
