SmartPM
SmartPM is a construction project controls platform that analyzes CPM schedules from P6, Microsoft Project, and Asta for quality, delay, and forecast risk.
Definition
SmartPM Technologies, based in Atlanta, builds schedule analytics and project controls software for contractors and owners. Teams upload or sync CPM schedules from Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or Asta Powerproject, and SmartPM grades schedule quality against more than 35 metrics such as missing logic, negative lags, and constraints. It then tracks performance across updates with indices like the Schedule Compression Index and Schedule Performance Index, runs automated delay analysis, forecasts completion, and rolls results up to portfolio and executive dashboards. SmartPM integrates with Procore, where it reads schedule files stored in Procore Documents, and with Autodesk Forma Build; on September 14, 2026 it expanded the Forma Build integration to sync RFI and submittal data into its schedule analytics. In July 2026 it published its second State of Construction Scheduling report, drawing on more than 120,000 schedule files and about 10,000 survey responses, which found only 2 percent of owners are very confident in the schedules they receive. Pricing is custom.
In Depth
Schedules are the most data-rich document on a construction project and often the least trusted. Updates get massaged, logic gets broken to make dates work, and by the time a claim shows up nobody can reconstruct what happened. SmartPM reads the XER or MPP file itself, grades the logic, and tracks what changed from update to update, so a project executive can see compression, float erosion, and slipping milestones without a scheduler building a custom analysis each month.
The delay analysis is where SmartPM earns attention from owners and claims consultants: it attributes delay to activities across the update history, which is the evidence that matters in a dispute. The September 2026 Forma Build integration adds context from RFIs and submittals, so a late submittal can be read against the activity it is holding up rather than tracked on a separate log.
SmartPM analyzes schedules that planners build in P6, Microsoft Project, or Asta; it does not replace the scheduling tool. Teams get the most value when they run every update through it consistently, since the history is what makes the delay and trend analysis meaningful.
