SmartPM Technologies, the leader in construction schedule analytics and project intelligence, today announced the launch of SmartPM Essentials.  Essentials is a purpose-built solution for teams who want clarity, consistency, and accountability from their schedules, without the overhead of traditional project controls. SmartPM Essentials is being offered at a flat rate of $10K for unlimited projects and unlimited users. 

Essentials delivers immediate value by surfacing schedule quality issues, compression, and performance risks across all projects. Every schedule update is analyzed to flag logic gaps, delay trends, and critical changes, giving companies the insight to act early, correct problems, and build accountability without needing specialized scheduling expertise.

“Your schedule already has the answers,” said Michael Pink, CEO and founder of SmartPM. “Essentials helps you find them fast. It’s the first step in building a culture of accountability around time, risk, and performance, while laying the foundation to scale into full project controls when you’re ready.”

Key Capabilities of Essentials:

• Company Dashboard: A birds-eye view of overall project health and progress trends
  
   
• Schedule Quality Checks: Flags logic issues, excessive float, long durations, and risky sequencing
  
   
• Change Log & Comparison Tools: Identify what changed between updates and track impacts on critical activities
  
   
• Performance Trends: Spot patterns in compression, delays, and risks before they escalate
  
   
• Exportable Reports: Clean QA and Change Log outputs for easy collaboration
  
   

Who It’s For:

• Regional and National general contractors managing 5+ projects
  
   
• Owners & developers running capital programs
  
   
• Teams that need visibility, but don’t have the bandwidth or resources to analyze complex data.
  
   

Why it matters:
Construction projects are complex, with delays and claims often surfacing too late to avoid. SmartPM Essentials gives companies immediate intelligence on their construction projects, using the schedule data they already have. Construction schedule data is the #1 source for identifying the  leading indicators of risk.  At the same time, Essentials acts as a stepping stone to SmartPM Controls, providing a clear path to deeper analytics, predictive metrics, and full project controls as organizations mature.

Breaking open the black box of scheduling:
Too often, schedules function as a “black box” where only a few people can interpret what’s really happening. Essentials changes that by providing a shared source of truth, making schedule data transparent, actionable, and accessible to everyone on the project team.

The cost of delay dwarfs the cost of SmartPM:
On a $25 million project, just one day of delay can cost more than $24,000—far exceeding the annual cost of SmartPM Essentials. By uncovering risks earlier and helping teams take corrective action, Essentials pays for itself in days, not months.
