P3 vs MSP debate

It is with increasing frequency the JCA team is asked “what is the best Planning software tool for my construction business ?”

Sample P3 scheduleOf course there is no easy answer for that…a lot depends upon the project types, the level of planning controls adopted by the business (both on & off site), the likelihood that the system will be used, the level of training provided to thier staff, etc, etc.

JCA planners have experience with Primavera (P3, Suretrak, Enterprise) and MS Project (98 to 2003). Each one of these tools has a niche with-in the construction industry.

Pre-dominantly our Building contracting firms and property developers use MS Project, where as our heavy industry and resources sector contractor’s use Primavera products.
