PlanSwift's Academic Program began in 2007, when the first college expressed interest in teaching digital takeoff. By 2009, two schools with excellent Construction Management programs formally joined, and the Student & University Development Program launched in August 2010.
Since then, the PlanSwift Academic Team has partnered with colleges and universities across the United States and Canada — connecting construction programs with the technology their students will use throughout their careers.
