New for 2009
By combining the ingenuity of UDA engineers with feedback from tens of thousands of clients, UDA ConstructionSuite™ delivers over 1,000 new features designed to give you total control over your projects. In the new ConstructionSuite, UDA Scheduling experienced a complete overhaul that resulted in increased performance and greater functionality. Read on to see what's new in the next generation of construction scheduling software from UDA Technologies.
Resource Allocation enables you to assign vendors, subcontractors, and equipment to specific project tasks to avoid double-booking and increase efficiency in your projects.
New Reminder system gives you greater flexibility to create reminders, including setting multiple reminders, creating custom reminders, and automatically emailing reminders to project resources.
Advanced Critical Path tools make it even easier to set predecessors and help minimize project delays.
Improved filters enable you to view only particular aspects of your project schedule.
Integrated Calendar merges all of your project schedules with ConstructionNet™ Activities for a comprehensive overview of your company's upcoming events.
Cash Flow Reporting integrates construction estimating and scheduling information to provide a comprehensive overview of your company's financial state (Premier and above).

The (Critical) Path to Project Success
Track and manage the progress of your project resources and schedules with Critical Path tools in UDA Scheduling. Using predecessors maximizes schedule efficiency by setting the subtask order so each task may begin as soon as possible and progress in the ideal order. With a fully defined critical path, you can easily account for changes that occur in your projects and use the new Baseline feature to compare original and actual scheduled dates.
Always Know What's Next
Among the leading causes of project delays are missing materials, late workers, and miscommunication. Protect yourself from these and other unforeseen delays by using the powerful, new reminder features in UDA Scheduling and advanced integration with UDA ConstructionSuite™.
Avoid Scheduling Conflicts with Dynamic Resource Allocation
Track and manage resources with ease using UDA Resource Allocation. Beyond providing a direct link between the contact database and UDA Schedules, Resource Allocation enables you to avoid conflicts, automatically send reminders, generate reports, and be warned of expiring insurance and certificates (in Premier versions and above) for assigned resources in your project schedule.
Track Insurance, Licenses, and Bonds
Tracking insurance and other certificates for your construction projects is one of the best ways to reduce undue financial liability. With ConstructionSuite™ Premier and above, you can easily ensure that your vendors, subs, and others involved in your projects have valid certificates when you're creating schedules for your projects. The advanced Insurance Tracking module enables you to create numerous certificates for Insurance, Licenses, or Bonds; set notifications of expiring certificates; and be warned of already-expired certificates when you assign a resource in UDA Scheduling.
Making Integration Work for You
Integration is a key factor in saving you time and money. With UDA Scheduling, you can create estimates from schedules, synchronize information between estimates and schedules, export schedules to MS Project, manage multiple project schedules through the Integrated Calendar, and connect all your ConstructionSuite™ files through the dynamic database system. Add in multi-project reporting capabilities that merge information from throughout the ConstructionSuite system, and you have a completely integrated solution that maximizes your efficiency.
The dynamic construction scheduling system that includes UDA Scheduling, the Integrated Calendar, Resource Allocation, and Microsoft Project Export is included in ConstructionSuite™ Pro versions and above.
Amplify your project management power with Insurance Tracking, Workflow Management, and Cash Flow Reporting in Premier versions and above.
Get the best tools for multi-project developments with ConstructionSuite™ Corporate or Network.
