Auto-generate a project plan from a one-paragraph brief

The problem

Every new project starts the same way: someone (you) blocks out a half day to build a Gantt chart. You miss tasks, get the dependencies wrong, forget about the bank holidays, and have to rebuild it twice as the brief evolves.

How EF-Projex solves it

Three steps. One outcome.

Describe the project in plain English

One paragraph. "Refurbish a 4-bed Victorian terrace in Hackney, start in June, target completion mid-September, £180k budget, two-person crew available full-time."

EF-Projex generates a tasked-out plan: phase, task, duration, dependencies, resource assignment, cost. UK bank holidays applied. Standard construction sequencing logic baked in.

Refine, then run

You review the plan, drag durations, swap resources, lock critical-path dates. When you're happy, EF-Projex runs it — daily progress capture, variance reporting, automatic re-baseline.

The outcome

What you should expect

Project planning time down from a half day to 30 minutes
Fewer "we forgot to plan for X" surprises mid-project
Defensible plan baseline for client and finance
Reusable templates as the model learns your delivery style

Common questions

Frequently asked

How does it know construction sequencing?▼

EF-Projex ships with reference plans for common UK SME project types: refurb, new build, fit-out, M&E install, software delivery, marketing campaign. Pick a template or start blank.

Can I export to MS Project or Primavera?▼

Yes — EF-Projex exports XER, MPP, and CSV. Imports too, so you can bring legacy plans into EF-Projex and run them under the same engine.

Does it model my budget?▼

Yes. Each task has a cost (resource × duration + materials). EF-Projex shows planned vs earned vs actual cost as you progress, with EVM-style metrics if you want them.
