A Microsoft Project alternative built for construction

Microsoft Project is a general-purpose tool. Construction planners end up fighting it for resource histograms, cost tracking and site progress, or paying for add-ons.

CS Project was designed for construction from day one. It reads and writes MS Project and Excel files, so you can switch without losing your existing programmes.

Sound familiar?

  • Licence costs for a tool that isn’t built for construction
  • Weak resource and cost handling
  • No simple way for site to update progress
  • Programmes locked away with one planner

How CS Project helps

  1. Import your MS Project files

    Bring existing programmes across and keep working.

  2. Construction-first resources

    Labour, plant and materials with drag-and-drop allocation and over-allocation warnings.

  3. Three versions

    Pay only for what you need, with a seamless upgrade path as you grow.

  4. Primavera P6 when you need it

    The Professional version integrates with P6 for clients who require it.
