What Catalyst USA does

Catalyst USA Inc. is a privately held US construction scheduling consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Plainfield, Indiana. The company delivers expert-led project scheduling services — including baseline development, schedule updates, critical path monitoring, resource loading, change management, and claims analysis — to construction, energy, and manufacturing clients, with named enterprise customers spanning Cordoba Corporation, Avalon Bay, Duke Energy, Weitz, Bulley and Andrews, and Hoopaugh. Rather than positioning as a software vendor, Catalyst operates as a managed-service provider that runs schedules on behalf of its clients, supported by a US-based team of certified Primavera and Powerproject practitioners with 27+ years of hands-on experience.

The company's technology stack layers its proprietary RemoteApp browser-based delivery platform on top of three industry-standard scheduling products that Catalyst resells: Oracle Primavera Cloud, Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM/PPM, and Elecosoft Asta Powerproject. RemoteApp enables secure access to these third-party tools without local installation or client-side IT setup. An in-development capability, the Smart Schedule Generator, is positioned as an AI-assisted baseline generation tool currently available in beta to higher-tier subscribers.

Catalyst monetizes through four interlocking streams: (1) Catalyst Complete, a tiered managed-scheduling subscription (Starter $1,000/month, Silver $2,000/month, Gold $4,000/month, Platinum $7,500/month) that bundles software access, expert schedulers, training, support, and (at higher tiers) the Smart Schedule Generator; (2) hourly project scheduling consulting at $130/hour; (3) resale of Oracle Primavera and Asta Powerproject software licenses with first-year support; and (4) instructor-led training courses priced between $495 and $1,095. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, complemented by self-service e-commerce for standard course and license purchases, with content marketing, LinkedIn/Facebook presence, and direct email outreach as supporting channels. The company holds Oracle Authorized Education Partner status and an Elecosoft reseller relationship, which are central to its licensing, training, and support businesses.

Core offering

Catalyst USA provides managed construction project scheduling services through its flagship "Catalyst Complete" subscription, bundling expert scheduler support, licensed access to Oracle Primavera Cloud, Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM/PPM, and Asta Powerproject, live training, and technical support delivered via a proprietary browser-based RemoteApp platform. The company also resells the three scheduling software platforms, delivers instructor-led training courses, and offers dedicated project scheduling consulting at $130/hour.

Product overview

Catalyst USA offers a unified managed scheduling service — Catalyst Complete — combining licensed access to three industry-standard scheduling platforms (Oracle Primavera Cloud, Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM/PPM, and Elecosoft Asta Powerproject) with expert schedule updates, live training, and technical support, all delivered through a secure browser-based RemoteApp platform. The portfolio is organized around Catalyst Complete as the core subscription offering, with four tiered service plans (Starter, Silver, Gold, Platinum) that scale software access, update frequency, project volume, and AI-enabled tools. Surrounding the managed service are discrete professional services: project scheduling consulting (in-person or remote), instructor-led training for each of the three software platforms, and product support covering upgrades, data migration, and licensing. The company resells and supports the three Oracle/Elecosoft software products as licensed platforms while layering its own managed scheduling, training, and support services on top.

Direct peers

• PMA Consultants: Long-standing U.S. construction management consulting firm offering scheduling, dispute resolution, and project management services. Direct comparable to Catalyst USA in services to GCs and owners, including schedule analysis and training support.
• Trauner Consulting Services: Specialist construction consulting firm focused on CPM scheduling, claims analysis, and delay analysis for infrastructure and building projects. Closely overlaps Catalyst's core scheduling services for general contractors and owners.
• Long International: Construction claims and scheduling consultancy providing forensic schedule analysis, expert testimony, and training. Comparable niche to Catalyst's scheduling service, particularly in claims/delay analysis.
• Management Technologies Inc. Consulting firm providing project management, construction management, and Primavera-based scheduling services. Overlaps with Catalyst USA on training, scheduling, and managed services to construction firms.
• AEC Solutions (Saylor): Provides construction project management services and Oracle Primavera consulting, training, and implementation. Direct competitor for Oracle Primavera–centric project scheduling services.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Primavera (direct): Vendor of Oracle Primavera Cloud, P6 EPPM/PPM. Comparable only as the upstream software platform whose scheduling product Catalyst resells, trains, and supports; not a competing services firm.
• Elecosoft (Asta Powerproject): Vendor of Asta Powerproject scheduling software. Comparable in the same way Oracle is, as the supplier whose products Catalyst distributes and trains on.
• Procore Technologies: Construction project management SaaS platform expanding into scheduling workflows. Comparable as an adjacent incumbent that construction firms may choose over a managed-services scheduling provider like Catalyst.

Emerging players

• Acumen Fuse (Dodge Construction): Schedule risk analysis product integrated with Primavera, used to validate schedules. Competes tangentially with Catalyst's AI-assisted Smart Schedule Generator feature for baseline review and acceleration.
• SmartPM Technologies: Automated schedule analytics and controls platform for construction teams, surfacing risk signals from Primavera files. Adjacent competitor to Catalyst's managed scheduling and AI schedule-generation service.
