Precision Time Planning
Plan Every Critical Work Window with Precision
Critical work demands a new level of planning precision.
Shutdowns, commissioning activities, utility cutovers, and other critical work windows require precise coordination across crews, trades, equipment, inspections, and work areas. Every minute can impact productivity, safety, schedules, and profitability.
Strategic Time Management
Precision Time Planning (PTP) is a Touchplan capability that gives construction teams the ability to plan, coordinate, and manage work by the hour and minute, providing the visibility needed to keep production moving when every minute matters.
Day-level schedules can hide small delays until they create costly consequences:
- Trade stacking and crew congestion
- Missed or rescheduled inspections
- Idle equipment and added rental time
- Crew reassignment and remobilization
- Overtime or weekend work to protect milestones
With hour- and minute-level planning, teams can:
- Reduce schedule risk by preventing small execution delays before they consume available float or affect the critical path.
- Protect labor productivity by minimizing waiting, crew congestion, manpower reassignment, and unnecessary resequencing during time-critical execution activities.
- Improve safety by reducing conflicting activities and dangerous trade stacking during shutdowns, turnarounds, outages (STO), commissioning, and other high-pressure work.
- Strengthen inspections, handoffs, and quality by confirming when work is complete before the next activity begins, reducing out-of-sequence work and rework.
- Improve equipment utilization by coordinating cranes, hoists, lifts, and other rented equipment against precise execution times, reducing idle time, rental extensions, and remobilization.
- Increase execution certainty with real-time visibility that helps project leaders coordinate work, reduce reactive supervision, and adapt without losing momentum.
- Protect profit by reducing rework, overtime, remobilization, and other recovery measures that consume contingency and erode project performance.
- Coordinate complex execution plans across multiple shifts, overnight work, and around-the-clock operations with a single synchronized execution plan while supporting detailed Level 4 and Level 5 planning in one system.
When Schedules Slip, Costs Soar
Built for Critical Work Windows
Precision Time Planning is designed for time-critical projects and activities where execution is measured in hours, not days. Ideal for:
Utility cutovers
Commissioning and startup
Critical equipment installations
Multi-shift and 24/7 operations
Complex handoffs and MEP coordination
Rail, transportation, and heavy civil projects
Shutdown/Turnaround/Outage (STO) work
Data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities
