Enterprise-ready solutions for construction project delivery
Manage construction portfolios with greater visibility and control. Understand progress, resources, budgets, and risk across your portfolio.
Lucen helps construction leaders bring project, resource, and portfolio data together in one place. Standardize reporting, reduce manual updates, and keep teams working from the same information.
Gantt charts & project updates
Turn Microsoft Project and Excel schedules into clear, presentation-ready timelines.
When milestones shift or owners need answers, your updates stay accurate without rebuilding from scratch.
Visualize phases, milestones, and critical paths across your portfolio. Update once. Reflect changes everywhere.
Time & tracking
Understand where labor time is spent across projects, trades, and site activities.
When hours aren't captured consistently, cost reporting becomes unreliable and resource planning suffers.
Track effort by project, phase, or team. Support more accurate billing, utilization reporting, and portfolio decisions.
Beta
Excel-native planning
Build construction schedules and Gantt charts directly in Excel. Plan project phases, milestones, and dependencies while keeping stakeholders aligned from planning through delivery.
Beta
Process mapping
Map RFI workflows, submittal processes, and change order approvals with clear, structured diagrams. Visualize handoffs, responsibilities, and decision points to improve consistency across projects and teams.
Built for the Microsoft tools your teams already use
Connect your schedules, resource data, and portfolio reporting without switching tools
Construction teams manage project schedules in Microsoft Project, track costs and resources in Excel, and present progress in PowerPoint, often as three separate workflows. Lucen connects them.
Pull schedule and effort data directly into timeline and reporting views so project controls teams and portfolio leaders always have a consistent, up-to-date picture of progress, capacity, and risk.

Construction project controls and reporting
See what needs attention before it impacts delivery
Start faster and simplify construction reporting
Building schedules, progress updates, and owner reports from scratch slows project teams down and creates version control problems across sites. Use templates designed for construction planning, reporting, and stakeholder communication to get started faster.
Compare planned vs. actual project progress
When site activities fall behind schedule, the impact isn't always visible right away. Compare actual progress against baseline plans to identify delays early and keep projects on track.
Understand dependencies and critical paths
Construction schedules rely on tightly connected activities, trades, and milestones. Visualize dependencies and critical paths to see where delays could impact project delivery.
Track labor time and project effort
Labor is one of the largest costs on any construction project. Gain visibility into where time is spent, improve resource planning, and support more accurate project reporting.
