Turnaround planning & MH estimating

The estimating platform built for industrial turnarounds

NextGen Planning takes a turnaround from first man-hour estimate to field execution — a catalog-driven estimator, resource plans by contractor, CPM scheduling, procurement, and daily progress, all in one system.

Built for TAR planners, estimators, and project controls teams.

Everything a turnaround needs, connected

No more disconnected spreadsheets. Every estimate feeds the schedule, the schedule feeds procurement, and the field feeds progress back — one source of truth.

Catalog-driven estimator

Build estimates from a 1,145-row MH catalog across 95 equipment types. WBS tree by phase, equipment and task, with service, crew-by-size, and flange-class factors applied automatically.

Resource planning

Organize labor by contractor and craft, track indirect and support staff, and see manning demand on a live histogram grouped by craft or company.

CPM scheduling & Gantt

Forward and backward pass scheduling with total/free float, resource leveling, critical path, and start-shift or crew-stretch leveling modes.

Procurement & MTO

Parse vendor quotes, generate SAP requisitions and RFQs, and produce material take-offs with ANSI-correct flange hardware straight from the estimate.

Bid pipeline

Track candidate projects through a Kanban pipeline, invite contractors by email, and collect and compare sealed bids on a public response portal.

Annual portfolio plan

A draggable multi-year Gantt of candidate projects by department and priority — plan the whole turnaround portfolio, then promote a candidate into a full estimate.

End to end

From man-hour to field progress

NextGen Planning follows the real turnaround workflow — nothing is re-keyed between stages.

1

Estimate

Pull catalog tasks into a WBS estimate with factors, crews, and per-craft cost.

2

Plan & schedule

Assign contractors, level resources, and generate a CPM schedule with float.

3

Procure

Turn the estimate into MTOs, RFQs, and SAP requisitions with vendor quotes.

4

Execute

Print field work packages and capture dated % complete for the S-curve.

Control & visibility

Know exactly where the turnaround stands

Daily progress entry rolls straight into an earned-value S-curve, so planned versus earned man-hours are never a guess.

  • Day and night shift field work packages, ready to print
  • Dated progress history for trend, slippage, and audit
  • Planned vs. earned MH S-curve with variance
  • Excel, SAP, and Primavera P6 exports
  • Multi-tenant workspaces with role-based access

Field calculators

Engineering tools that write back to the estimate

Purpose-built calculators for the trades — each one sends its result straight into the project estimator.

MH estimator

Man-hour lookup across the full catalog with condition, service, and repair factors.

Rigging & crane

Load build-up, crane utilization vs. chart, sling and shackle sizing, suggested crane class.

Exchanger

TEMA tube count, bundle weight, and pull force with a shell & tube schematic.

Weld & PWHT

Repair-zone area picker, automated weld processes, and full PWHT cycle breakdown.

Scaffold

Volume-based erect and dismantle MH, crew and duration, with LiftBot productivity factor.

Isolation / blind planner

Upload a blind list, split operations from mechanical hours, and push phased lines to the estimate.
