For the data center general contractor accountable for every gate on the build
As a data center general contractor, you hold the prime contract. Substantial completion depends on Cx closeout, and you are the last to know when it is behind.
CxPlanner is commissioning software that gives the GC live visibility into the Cx programme, so gate blockers surface before they become schedule conversations.
The data center general contractor often finds out about Cx delays when it is too late to act
For the data center general contractor, the commissioning programme is a dependency. Not something you run, but something your schedule depends on.
Book a demoCx programme status depends on someone remembering to send it.
The Cx team runs the programme in their own commissioning system. As a GC, you find out that the electrical scope is behind on L2 when it is already affecting the L3 schedule. Status often arrives later on, not the day the problem appears.
Outstanding gate sign-offs block substantial completion without warning.
Every outstanding Cx gate is a milestone the GC cannot claim. A missing sign-off that would have been straightforward to resolve two weeks earlier surfaces at the L4 gate review, when the cost to the schedule is already in the programme.
Coordinating with the Cx team and the Owner requires a separate reporting step.
Pull status from the Cx team. Reconcile against your schedule. Assemble a report. By the time it reaches the Owner, it is already out of date.
Every subcontractor scope in one view, with blockers surfacing before they cost a gate
CxPlanner gives the data center general contractor direct access to the live Cx programme, the same data the Cx team uses to manage it.
Gate status across all scopes is visible in real time. Open punch items, missing check-sheets, and overdue sign-offs that would block an L3 or L4 gate surface automatically, before they become schedule conversations.
The Owner accesses the same live dashboard. The status conversation starts from data both sides already have, not from a report assembled the night before.
Procore integration keeps both systems aligned. Deficiencies raised in CxPlanner sync to the GC's punch list automatically, gate status visible in the GC's own workflow without logging into a separate system.
What CxPlanner covers for the data center general contractor
Full program visibility across every subcontractor scope, every Level, every open issue.
Live Cx programme visibility across all scopes
The data center general contractor sees current completion rates and gate status across electrical, mechanical, and controls scopes in real time, without pulling updates from each subcontractor individually or from the Cx team.
Gate and milestone tracking against the GC schedule
Every Level gate from L1 through L5 tracked against the programme schedule. Gate blockers surface automatically before the review, so the GC knows what is at risk before it becomes a milestone conversation with the Owner.
Procore integration - Cx status in the GC's own system
CxPlanner's Procore integration syncs commissioning deficiencies to the GC's punch list in real time. The GC sees Cx status in Procore without accessing a separate commissioning platform. Updates made in Procore flow back to CxPlanner automatically.
Owner dashboard access from shared data
The Owner sees the same live programme data as the GC and the Cx team. The weekly status conversation starts from a shared view, not from a compiled report that was already out of date before it was shared.
Phased handover tracking across multiple delivery phases
On hyperscale builds where halls or pods are handed over phase by phase, the GC sees gate progress by phase and location. Substantial completion milestones tracked against what is actually closed, not what was planned to be closed.
What the data center GC gets from CxPlanner
You stop spending time coordinating between tools and start spending it on the delivery.
Schedule risk surfaces when there is still time to recover.
A Cx scope falling behind on L2 appears in the data center general contractor's live view the day it falls behind, not at the L3 gate review when the schedule impact is already locked in. Recovery measured in days, not weeks.
Substantial completion is not held up by sign-offs nobody saw coming.
Outstanding gate sign-offs that block substantial completion are visible to the GC before they become blockers. The GC knows what is genuinely open, who owns each item, and when it is due, without asking the Cx team for a status update.
Owner reporting runs from a live dashboard.
The GC stops spending time assembling a status picture from separate tools. The Owner has direct access to the live programme view. The steering committee conversation starts from data both sides already have.

Does the GC need to use CxPlanner directly, or only through Procore?
Both options are available. The data center general contractor can access CxPlanner's live programme view directly, or use the Procore integration to see Cx deficiencies and gate status within their existing Procore workflow, without logging into a separate system.
How does CxPlanner help the GC manage substantial completion milestones?
Every outstanding Cx gate sign-off that blocks a substantial completion milestone is visible to the GC in real time, not just at the gate review. Open punch items, missing check-sheets, and overdue sign-offs surface automatically before they become schedule blockers.
Can the Owner access the same live data as the GC?
Yes. Owners can be given access to the same live dashboards the data center general contractor and Cx team use. The status conversation starts from shared data rather than a compiled report.
Does CxPlanner support phased handover on hyperscale builds?
Yes. On hyperscale builds where halls or pods are handed over phase by phase, the GC sees gate progress by phase and location. Each phase handover is tracked against what is actually closed, so the Owner's acceptance is not held up by a reconciliation gap between the Cx record and the GC's schedule.
How is this different from the commissioning software the Cx team uses?
The Cx team uses CxPlanner to execute and manage the commissioning programme. The data center general contractor uses CxPlanner's GC-level view and the Procore integration to see programme status and gate progress, without running the commissioning programme themselves. Same platform, different access level.
