About
nPlan is an AI-first project controls and delivery platform purpose-built for the construction and capital projects industry. Trained on a dataset of over 750,000 historical project schedules representing more than $2 trillion in construction spend, nPlan's AI delivers unparalleled forecasting accuracy and risk intelligence across individual projects and large portfolios. The platform supports four core use cases: Plan, Assure, De-risk, and Deliver. With Schedule Studio, teams can generate and edit detailed schedules from scope documentation in minutes using generative AI. The Insights Pro module provides granular uncertainty forecasting at the activity level—far beyond rolled-up summaries—while Insights Core offers accessible risk management for teams without dedicated risk analysts. AutoReport reduces time spent on reporting, and the Schedule Integrity Checker flags errors before they disrupt execution. nPlan currently has $500 billion of projects under active management and is trusted by owner-operators, general contractors, and consultants across sectors including rail, highways, energy, commercial buildings, utilities, and data centers. It is designed for portfolio directors, PMO managers, planners, and risk managers who need to make smarter decisions faster and protect projects from severe delays and cost overruns.
