Look ahead.
Stay ahead.
The four-week look-ahead, run by your engineers — not a spreadsheet.
One source of truth: automated Daily Planner and Bookings, with Roadblocks surfaced early.
Everything runs off
one engine.
The Baseline look-ahead isn’t a static plan — it’s your planning engine, live. Change it once and everything downstream follows: dates, bookings and the daily planner.
Daily
Planner
The program, collapsed into today. Due, overdue and closed at a glance — with every roadblock, material, subcontractor and conformance owned and dated, so nothing slips between weekly updates.

Roadblocks
Every blocker — materials, RFIs, NCRs, approvals — surfaced, owned and dated. Tracked from raised to resolved, with the overdue ones impossible to ignore.

Booking
Reservations
Every supplier booking — materials, plant, subcontractors — drafted, confirmed and tracked. From request to delivery, with the unconfirmed ones surfaced before they bite.
They do a slice.
Baseline does the lot.
Excel tracks, P6 and Asta schedule. None of them run a site week.
Baseline covers the whole four-week loop and automates most of it.

The smallest number on your project.
A four-week look-ahead your team actually runs on costs less than one hour of an engineer’s time a month — per project. Here’s the working.
The manual routine — Excel look-ahead, minutes, re-keyed actions, follow-up emails — at your rates.
Pro — a delivery team of up to 20, across up to 10 projects. $140 per project when you run all ten.
$2,400 of engineer time, minus $140 for the plan — spent making the project profitable instead of doing admin.
The calculator only counts admin hours. The real upside is what those hours become: time back into managing the works, the subbies and the costs — the parts that make the project profitable.
Every action named, dated, prompted daily — a live program instead of a weekly snapshot, so nothing gets missed between meetings.
Project managers and construction managers see progress and productivity across every project — without asking for another report.
Baseline isn’t insurance against a bad month.
It’s reassurance the team is working to make it a good one.
