Today we are announcing Cairn, a new CPM scheduling platform built for the entire construction project team.
Cairn combines the rigor of critical path method scheduling with modern collaboration tools and AI assistance. The result is a scheduling platform that trained schedulers will find powerful and that the rest of the team can actually use.
Here is what makes Cairn different:
AI-Powered Schedule Building: Describe your project scope in natural language and Cairn will generate a baseline schedule with proper logic ties, durations, and sequencing. The AI understands construction means and methods, so it produces schedules that make sense to experienced builders.
Pull Planning Photo Import: Take a photo of your pull planning session and Cairn converts the sticky notes into schedule activities with logical relationships. No more two-day data entry sessions after a pull planning workshop.
XER Import and Export: Already have schedules in P6? Import your XER files into Cairn with full fidelity. Need to send a schedule back to the owner in P6 format? Export to XER anytime.
DCMA 14-Point Health Check: Run the industry-standard Defense Contract Management Agency schedule quality assessment with one click. Cairn tells you exactly where your schedule needs attention.
Real-Time Collaboration: Everyone on the project team gets access to the live schedule. No more PDF printouts. No more waiting for the monthly update.
Cairn is available now in free beta. Sign up at app.cairnpm.com.
