Integration Partnership

A stronger partnership for site delivery

Asta Powerproject builds the plan. SymTerra keeps it connected to what is actually happening on site, in real time, so progress reflects reality and not just what has been reported.

The programme to site team disconnect

Even a strong Asta Powerproject plan can become reactive when site updates never quite make it back into the schedule.

Reporting is manual and slow

Excel sheets, copy and paste, PDFs emailed around. By the time the report lands, the data is stale.

Planning stays in the planning department

PMs, QSs and leadership run parallel processes. Data gets duplicated, interpreted differently, and quickly becomes untrusted.

Reactive, not proactive

Issues are discovered late. Schedule slippage becomes a cost overrun before anyone spots it.

No consistent way of working

Everyone plans differently. No standard templates, no shared methodology, no quality baseline.

Progress updates are disconnected

The way on site and office teams communicate and report is structured for failure, meaning the programme quickly becomes out of date.

Why it matters

Why maintain your programme during construction?

Because once construction starts, the schedule becomes a live control system for time, risk, entitlement and margin, not just a plan.

Asta Powerproject already gives you a solid, construction specific programme. The challenge is what happens once work starts. If progress updates arrive late, in different formats, or never quite make it back into the schedule, even a good programme becomes a static document instead of a live control system.

Progressing is not an admin task, it is the control mechanism. When the programme does not reflect actual progress, you are managing on assumptions, and you weaken your position on risk, entitlement and margin.

See planned versus actual, live

A single, current view of where you are against where you said you would be, so you can spot slippage early rather than after the delay has already hit the critical path.

Protect your entitlement position

If progress, issues and decisions are not reflected in the programme, you have a weaker position on extensions of time and compensation events. Recorded progress becomes evidence.

Make better sequencing calls

Better resource and sequencing decisions, because you can see where work is genuinely complete, where it is drifting, and where to intervene while there is still time to act.

That is why the Asta and SymTerra integration exists. Asta stays as the master planning environment, while SymTerra gives site teams simple, daily workflows to record what has been done and what is forecast. You keep the strength of your existing planning process, and remove the manual reporting gap that stops many organisations from properly progressing their programmes during delivery.

How it connects

SymTerra closes the programme gap

Your clients build great programmes in Asta Powerproject. SymTerra connects the site back to the schedule, so the plan reflects what is actually happening, in real time. Every project team gets the full picture: plan, plus progress, without the manual effort.

1

Connect your Asta Powerproject programme

Import your Asta programme into SymTerra and link schedule activities in seconds. Every update from site can then be tied back to the activity it belongs to.

  • Link updates to an activity, asset, drawing or location
  • Planner remains in control of the master schedule

Site teams update in real time

Simple mobile and web workflows let site teams record daily progress, forecast completion and raise issues as they happen. No spreadsheets, no copy and paste, no chasing.

  • Percentage complete captured directly from the field
  • Forecast completion dates always current

Your programme reflects reality

Progress is visible as it happens on site. Planners have the live data they need to keep the schedule current, and delays show up while there is still time to do something about them.

  • See problems early, before they escalate
  • Planners and project managers see the same picture

If you share a live or recent project where linking the programme to site activity was a challenge, we can walk through how this integrated approach to progressing would have changed the picture.
