FinitePath
FinitePath is a web platform that converts construction schedule files into working models for planning, cost mapping, delay analysis and reporting.
What FinitePath is
FinitePath is a web platform that converts construction schedule files into working models for planning, cost mapping, delay analysis and reporting. It imports Primavera P6 XER or XML, Microsoft Project XML and Excel BOQs, and exports XER, XML or JSON. BOQ line items can be mapped to schedule activities to show cost and time together. Each save recalculates forward and backward passes and checks critical paths, float bands, dangling ends, loops and redundant links. Delay analysis includes baseline snapshots, calendar-accurate window analysis, delay quantification and generated claims packs. Resource tools cover crew utilisation, overload alerts, auto-levelling within float with a project-manager override, and time-phased histograms. Users can compare schedule-compression and other what-if variants without automatically changing the baseline. Executive reports cover schedule health, paths, float distribution and recovery estimates; earned-value measures appear when supported by the data, and missing or implausible inputs may produce a diagnostic. Schedule chat answers cite source activities. FinitePath also provides a PERT Builder labelled free with no login. Its privacy policy describes encryption in transit, access controls and multi-tenant data isolation; AI features may send relevant project data to Anthropic, and the company says private project data is not used to train public models.
Good
- Imports P6, Microsoft Project XML and Excel BOQ files.
- Recalculates schedule passes and checks logic on each save.
- Maps BOQ costs to schedule activities.
- Includes delay analysis and generated claims packs.
- PERT Builder is free and requires no login.
Watch out
- Reports may omit unsupported metrics or show diagnostic codes.
- AI features may send relevant project data to Anthropic.
- Free-trial duration and current availability are unspecified.
Who it suits
FinitePath describes workflows for students and early-career schedulers, superintendents, engineers, planners and executives. It is geared toward business and professional use, from learning scheduling to managing live schedules and building a baseline.
Verdict
FinitePath brings schedule logic, cost mapping, delay analysis, resource planning and reporting together for construction workflows. Its report caveats and AI data handling are worth reviewing when working with incomplete or sensitive project information.
