Tactplan
Tactplan is construction scheduling software that combines location-based scheduling, takt planning, Gantt views, and mobile progress tracking for project teams managing work by location and trade.
Construction plans can look correct on a Gantt chart while crews still collide in the same zone. Tactplan approaches scheduling from the jobsite outward, organizing tasks around locations, trade flow, and takt rhythm so planners can see where work should happen next.
The platform is split around planning and control. Tactplan Schedule focuses on location-based scheduling, takt planning, Gantt views, quantities, and costs, while Tactplan Control connects the plan to site progress, constraints, mobile reporting, and production follow-up.
Tactplan's pricing page lists a 14-day full-feature trial, one planner per license, free viewers, and project or enterprise licensing options. That model fits construction teams that want invited stakeholders to read the plan without buying every person an editing seat.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines location-based scheduling, takt planning, and Gantt views in one planning workflow.
- Free viewers can reduce friction when inviting project stakeholders who do not edit schedules.
- Mobile progress reporting connects field updates back to Tactplan Control.
- Cost and quantity features can tie production plans to cash flow and earned value.
Cons
- Public pricing does not list fixed per-seat or per-project amounts.
- Teams used to CPM-only scheduling may need process change to adopt takt and location-based planning.
- Advanced value depends on keeping location, quantity, and field-progress data current.
- The external API is listed as optional, so integration availability may depend on plan or agreement.
Key features
Location-based scheduling: Plan work by zones, locations, trades, and time instead of relying only on activity bars.
Takt planning: Structure repeated trade work into takt cycles so crews move through defined locations with a clearer rhythm.
Gantt integration: Keep familiar Gantt views alongside location-based and takt views for teams moving from traditional scheduling.
Production control: Track site progress, constraints, and deviations from the plan through Tactplan Control and Tactplan Mobile.
Cost and quantity links: Connect quantities, costs, production rates, cash flow, and earned value to location-based schedules.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Tactplan cost?
Tactplan does not publish fixed prices on its pricing page. It lists a 14-day free trial, one planner per license, free viewers, and project or enterprise licensing, then asks buyers to contact the company for options.
Is Tactplan web-based, and does it have mobile access?
Tactplan is presented as an online construction scheduling platform, with Tactplan Mobile for on-site progress reporting from a phone or tablet. The pricing page lists a mobile progress tracking app for Control and enterprise-style workflows.
Can Tactplan import or export schedule data?
Yes. The Tactplan Help Center includes an Import, Export and Data Exchange section for integrating Tactplan with other tools and managing data outside the platform. The pricing page also lists an optional external API, so teams should confirm their required exchange workflow during procurement.
Does Tactplan support takt planning and location-based scheduling?
Yes. Tactplan Schedule is built around location-based scheduling, takt time planning, and Gantt views, so planners can coordinate trades by where and when work happens. The takt planning page describes takt tasks tied to specific locations and shown in a matrix view.
Tactplan Schedule vs Tactplan Control: which module do I need?
Tactplan Schedule is for building and managing the plan with location-based scheduling, takt planning, Gantt views, quantities, and costs. Tactplan Control is for production control on active projects, including progress tracking, constraints, field updates, and mobile reporting.
Who is Tactplan for?
Tactplan is aimed at construction planners, project managers, site teams, and trade partners working with location-based scheduling, Lean Construction, takt planning, and production control. It is most relevant on projects with repeated locations, multiple crews, and a need to coordinate trade flow in the field.
