Scheduling
Importing from Microsoft Project, Primavera P6 or Excel
Bring an existing schedule into Construction Company Software with tasks, durations and links intact.
Supported files
- Microsoft Project: save as XML (File → Save As → XML Format). .mpp files can be imported when your account has the converter enabled; otherwise save as XML first.
- Primavera P6: export as XER.
- Excel or CSV: one row per task with columns for name and duration (start, finish, predecessors and trade are optional).
Steps
- Open the project and go to Schedule.
- Choose Import and pick your file.
- Check the preview: task count, links and any warnings (for example, links to tasks that weren't in the file).
- Click Import. The schedule is recalculated with your work calendar.
Tips for Excel
- Durations are working days. “2w” is read as 10 days.
- Predecessors can be row numbers like “3” or “3FS+2” — the same style Microsoft Project uses.
- Leave start dates blank to let Construction Company Software calculate them from links and your project start.
