Estimates come in every form — an Excel table, a PDF, a plain-language description of the work. Big State AI reads what you already have and returns a real, logic-linked CPM schedule in the native file your tools import: Primavera P6 .xer and Microsoft Project .xml. It's an AI first draft, watermarked as one — your review as a qualified scheduler is what makes it yours, and P6 or MS Project stays the system of record.
Real Big State AI output across four kinds of work — generated from estimates and scopes, quality-checked, and watermarked as a first draft for scheduler review. The full gallery, with the native files, lives on the product site.
Generated by Big State AI from fictional estimates and scopes, watermarked as a first draft for scheduler review. Every package also includes the native Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) files.
Our founder is currently engaged full-time on a major infrastructure project in Alaska, so Big State Solutions is not accepting new consulting engagements for the foreseeable future. To build, analyze, and update the schedule yourself, use Big State AI. If your project needs a dedicated scheduler or project controls professional, we're glad to recommend experienced colleagues from our network — practitioners with the same energy and infrastructure background. Send a short note about the project and we'll point you to the right person.
The estimate you already have. Today that means an Excel estimate or takeoff, a PDF, a plain-language description of the work, or an existing .xer used as a reference. Picture and Word-document intake are being built and aren't available yet.
A complete drafting package by email: the native Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) schedule files, an auto-generated Basis of Schedule (.docx), a schedule quality review, and supporting outputs like look-ahead views, an executive summary, and a field-ready progress sheet.
No — and that's by design. Every output is a professional first draft that requires review by a qualified scheduler before it goes to an owner. It's clearly watermarked as such — not a certified deliverable.
Yes. Big State AI writes native XER built to import directly into Primavera P6 — calendars, WBS, activity logic, and milestones intact — plus MSPDI XML for Microsoft Project.
Current plans and pricing live on the product site at BigState.AI.
Client and project identity is stripped at the point of ingestion, and raw schedules are never kept or reused as library content. Full details in the privacy policy.
Hands-on consulting is on the shelf for the foreseeable future while our founder is engaged full-time on a major infrastructure project in Alaska.

Big State Solutions, LLC was founded by Louden Greiner, PMP, PSP on a skill he'd been practicing his entire career: taking large, complex project information and turning it into clear, organized plans and reports that people can actually use. It's the same problem artificial intelligence is now built to solve — work Louden was doing by judgment and discipline years before the tools existed.
That instinct was earned, not handed down. He learned his work ethic from his father on an Alaskan fishing boat as a boy, then worked his way up from the laborer ranks into the project controls office. He spent his twenties in what amounted to a project-controls boot camp — remote job sites, twelve-hour days, 300-plus days a year — alongside a top-tier team that lived and breathed schedule, including mentors who still ran the forward and backward pass by hand. From there he moved into owner-side roles with many of the top oil & gas operators, then took his experience on the road, supporting projects in every corner of the country.
Through all of it, one passion held: simplifying project controls and delivering real value to the people who get the work done — from the project manager to the field hand. He started Big State Solutions to give that hard-won knowledge back, the way his own mentors once did for him.
“I'm grateful for the opportunities, but the challenges are what shaped me.”
Today that field-tested judgment — Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, to AACE International (PSP) and PMI (PMP) standards — went into building Big State AI, so a scheduler can get a working draft out of an estimate in minutes. Hands-on consulting needs are met through a trusted referral network.
Big State Solutions is a family company, built on faith, gratitude, and the belief that hard-won knowledge is meant to be given back.
