LookAhead

What it is

LookAhead is a construction project management platform for scheduling, collaboration, and project insights. Teams can create and manage project schedules, with automated updates intended to keep stakeholders informed. Reports include daily updates, forward-looking schedules, and comparisons of planned schedules with actual progress. Performance views cover task completion, resource allocation, and schedule adherence, including critical path and resource planning. The platform gives stakeholders a shared place to communicate and access project information. LookAhead identifies subcontractors, general contractors, and owners as users it serves, and lists residential, commercial, infrastructure, and industrial construction as suitable project types. Its mobile app supports schedule access, collaboration, and updates while away from a desk. The FAQ says the platform is designed to integrate with commonly used construction project management tools but does not name specific integrations. Customer support is available for questions or issues. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers can request or book a demo. The company says it processes and stores information in the United States, though transfers to other jurisdictions may occur.
