Asta Powerproject has been
used on many landmark projects – including the London Eye,
the Eden Project and the Great Court at the British Museum.
Professional
project planning software for construction
Asta Powerproject is a professional project management software application
for construction and related industries. Easy to use, yet powerful, it
helps all types and sizes of organisations in construction deliver projects
on time and within budget.
With over sixteen years experience in construction, we know that our
software has to be easy to use for first-timers – and yet powerful
enough to handle the requirements of project managers working on the
world’s most complex construction projects. Features that help first-timers get up-and-running fast include:
Same intuitive ‘look
and feel’ as
a Microsoft Office application.
Draw activities/tasks
directly onto the bar chart with the mouse, or type
in the spreadsheet.
An online tutorial to help
you learn the software fast.
Context-sensitive help for
all features.
Unlimited ‘undo’s’ – so
you can fix any mistakes even after the project has been saved.
Construction-specific
template – to help you start planning quickly.
Communicate your plans effectively to clients, colleagues and contractors.
Asta Powerproject helps you produce impressive plans that clearly present
project
information.
Everything within Asta Powerproject
can be switched on or off – you
can choose whether to show or hide the critical path, float, holidays
etc.
Create customised company
borders that incorporate logos, revision numbers, key
projects dates, notes etc.
Annotate the project plan
to highlight important tasks – no need
to export plans to a separate drawing package.
Plans are completely
scalable to any chosen size.
Produce first rate, high
quality output – as electronic files or
on paper.
Effective project management involves controlling and monitoring progress to
ensure successful completion. Asta Powerproject has powerful progress and baseline
features that help you deliver projects on time, within budget and to the required
quality.
Asta Powerproject enables you to communicate plans and monitor progress of other
companies involved in project delivery. The main contractor or client advisor
may manage the master plan and send relevant sub-sets of the plan to other
parties involved.
Asta Powerproject combines time and money to help you control costs and accurately
forecast cash flows.
Create
cost centres to
match your company’s
internal account codes (labour,
plant etc.).
Assign
monetary values to tasks
as either costs
or income.
Specify costs
as either fixed
amounts or variable amounts
linked
to resource
usage.
Accurately
forecast cash flow
by combining time
and cost/income.
For example, this
allows you to predict
the Monthly
Valuation Amounts.
Record
budgeted costs
against the original
project
plan with the baseline
feature, then track
actual costs as
the project
progresses. Generate
reports showing the variance
between budget and actual costs/income.
Identify
the value of work
done at any given point in
time
using Earned Value Analysis functionality within Asta
Powerproject. Compare
actual progress
against the original plan to identify cost to completion,
time
to completion and expected final costs.
Manage
both direct labour and sub-contractor
levels
and costs as
well as preliminary costs -
such as cranes,
hoists, site
management, welfare facilities,
etc.
Leading construction companies are adopting a portfolio management approach to
projects. Asta Powerproject enables multiple and/or large-scale projects to
be managed from a single database, with the following benefits:
Not all construction companies are the same, which is why Asta Powerproject is
designed to work in three different ways. No matter how small or large your organisation,
there is an Asta Powerproject solution that fits your needs and budget.
Designed
for larger projects, or a collection
of projects, with many users
who need to work together in a real-time, multi-user environment.
Manage
multiple projects
and resources from a single
database.
Project information
can be shared via the Internet
with Asta’s Web
Viewer to keep all stakeholders updated.
