Context

Planera is a collaborative construction scheduling platform designed to streamline project planning and coordination.

It helps field teams and planners create, update, and manage schedules in real time, improving transparency, resource allocation, and overall productivity across complex construction projects.

Goal

Our mission was to design an intuitive scheduling and project management platform that helps construction teams plan projects accurately, collaborate seamlessly, and track progress in real time

Outcomes

Collaborative Planning

Enabled multiple stakeholders to align and collaborate around a shared project schedule.

Visual Scheduling

Complex construction timelines simplified through visual planning tools and intuitive workflows.

Operational Efficiency

Centralized scheduling and resource management improved coordination and project execution.

Accessible Technology

Designed interfaces that allowed even non-technical users across the construction ecosystem to adopt the platform easily.

CPM Canvas Planning

Visual workspace enables teams to create and adjust project schedules collaboratively.

Risk Simulation Tools

Forecast scenarios and identify scheduling risks before they impact project timelines.

Progress Visualization

Dashboards and progress curves help teams track project performance and milestones.

Unified Project Workspace

A single platform integrates scheduling, resources, and updates across teams.

Interactive planning canvases and S-curve charts allow teams to create, organize, and adjust construction schedules visually.

Dashboards provide clear visibility into project progress, schedule variance, and overall performance.

Structured workflows and system maps define relationships between projects, resources, dashboards, and scheduling modules.

A comprehensive design system of colors, typography, icons, and reusable UI components ensures consistency across the platform.

FAQs

What is Planera, and what did NetBramha design?
plus iconminus icon

Planera is a construction scheduling platform for global markets, built for teams managing complex, multi-stakeholder construction project timelines. NetBramha designed the product end-to-end, engaged during the company's early days before it had an in-house design team.

Construction scheduling is a genuinely distinct SaaS category from generic project management - timelines depend on physical sequencing constraints (concrete has to cure before framing starts, for instance) that a generic tool like Asana or Monday.com isn't built to represent.

Why does construction scheduling need purpose-built software instead of generic project management tools?
plus iconminus icon

Construction projects have interdependent physical constraints - certain tasks cannot start until others physically finish - that generic task-tracking tools don't model correctly, which is the specific gap Planera's platform, and NetBramha's design of it, was built to close.

That domain-specific modelling requirement is closer to the density-and-precision design bar NetBramha applied to Geojit's trading platform than to a general-purpose consumer productivity app - the underlying data relationships are genuinely complex and can't be abstracted away.

What did a 0-to-1 engagement with Planera actually involve?
plus iconminus icon

NetBramha joined as a design partner before Planera had any in-house designers, meaning the engagement started with product strategy and information architecture, not just visual polish on an already-defined product.

That founding-stage design partnership model also shaped NetBramha's work on GODai, where brand and product strategy were built simultaneously from zero rather than design being layered onto an already-decided product.

Who actually uses Planera day-to-day?
plus iconminus icon

Planera serves construction project planning and management teams handling multi-stakeholder portfolios - professional users managing genuinely complex, interdependent schedules, not casual task-list users.

That professional-operator user base places Planera alongside SIS and Yubi in NetBramha's enterprise-operator portfolio, where information density and control matter more than onboarding simplicity.

Is Planera part of NetBramha's real estate work, or a different category entirely?
plus iconminus icon

Despite being tagged under real estate on NetBramha's site, Planera is genuinely a construction-technology and project-management platform - closer in spirit to enterprise SaaS like Gyaan.ai or Cymorg than to a property transaction platform like HOABL or Emaar.

Worth knowing if you're evaluating NetBramha specifically for construction-tech or B2B scheduling software - this case study is the right reference, not the real estate transaction work.
