The estimating platform built for industrial projects, maintenance & turnarounds

NextGen Planning takes any scope — a capital project, routine maintenance, or a full turnaround — from first man-hour estimate to field execution, with a catalog-driven estimator, resource plans by contractor, CPM scheduling, procurement, and daily progress, all in one system.

Everything your projects need, 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.

Start to end

From man-hour to field progress

NextGen Planning follows the real project workflow — capital projects, maintenance, and turnarounds alike — with nothing 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 work 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.

Security & access

Built to protect your project data

Access is controlled, data is isolated per company, and every file and change is accounted for.

Invite-only access

No open sign-up. Accounts are created only for emails an administrator adds to the invite list, so you decide exactly who gets in.

Role-based permissions

Owner, admin, member, and viewer roles scoped at both the organization and project level control who can see and edit each estimate.

Encrypted credentials & sessions

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, sessions are signed tokens, and all traffic runs over TLS — with optional Google single sign-on.

Isolated company data

Multi-tenant by design — each organization's projects, estimates, and catalogs are partitioned so one company can never see another's data.

Private file storage

Uploaded photos and documents live in a private bucket and are served only through login-protected, expiring signed URLs.

Activity audit trail

Comments and changes are recorded with the user and a timestamp, giving every project a traceable history for review and accountability.

Plan your next project with confidence

Bring estimating, scheduling, procurement, and field execution into one platform built for industrial capital project, maintenance, and turnaround teams.
