Schedule management, not just a chart
Most schedules die the week after they're printed. A date slips, nobody redraws the Gantt, and the sub finds out at 6 a.m. on the day.
Construction Company Software keeps the schedule live. Tasks are linked, so when one moves, the work behind it moves too. The critical path shows which tasks set the finish date. The subs whose dates changed hear about it once, by text or email.
How it works
Three steps. No training day.
Start from a template, an import or a description
Pick a job type and a start date, upload an MS Project / P6 / Excel file, or let AI draft it.
Assign subs to tasks
Each task gets the sub or crew doing it. Construction Company Software suggests subs by trade.
Adjust as the job moves
Drag a bar or shift a rain day. Dependent work moves with it, and the subs whose dates changed are told.
01Critical path
Critical path scheduling, no class required
Link tasks finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish or start-to-finish, with lead and lag days. The engine works out the critical path (CPM) and the float on every other task.
Why it matters on site: you stop guessing which delay hurts. If drywall slips two days and it's on the critical path, the finish date moves on screen today, not at the walkthrough.
How it works
- Start from one of 9 job templates, an import or a blank schedule.
- Link tasks and set durations in working days.
- Drag a bar and watch the critical path and finish date update.
02Look-ahead
A 3-week look-ahead the field will read
The look-ahead pulls the next few weeks out of the master schedule, with who's on each task and whether they've confirmed.
Why it matters on site: the super runs the week from a one-page list, not a 300-line Gantt. It's the sheet you hand out at the Monday meeting, and it never goes stale.
How it works
- Open the look-ahead view on any job.
- Filter it by sub or trade, or print it.
- Update progress from your phone. The master schedule follows.
03Pull planning
Pull planning with the Last Planner System
Plan backward from a milestone with your trade partners. Log constraints with an owner for each, turn the plan into weekly commitments, and track Percent Plan Complete (PPC).
Why it matters on site: subs who helped build the plan are the ones who keep it. The constraints log shows what's blocking work before it stops a crew.
How it works
- Set the milestone and pull-plan it with your trades.
- Send the pull plan to the look-ahead.
- Record weekly commitments and review PPC and roadblocks removed.
04Rain days & delays
Rain days and delays, logged as they happen
Shift outdoor work in one click, pick a reason whenever dates move, and compare today's dates to the baseline you sold.
Why it matters on site: when the owner asks why the job is late, you have the answer: days lost to weather, a late sub, materials or client changes, each one on record.
Reports are on Pro and Business
How it works
- Mark the rain day. Only outdoor tasks move.
- Choose a delay reason when you save a change.
- Run the variance and delay-reasons reports.

The details
More in scheduling.
Plan the job
Drag-and-drop Gantt
Drag and stretch bars, link tasks, edit inline, undo and redo. Phases and milestones keep long jobs readable.
Work calendars
Set your workweek and holidays so durations count working days, not calendar days.
Constraints and deadlines
Pin a task to a date when the inspector or the cabinet delivery says so, and get warned when a deadline is at risk.
9 job templates
Kitchen, bath, basement, roof, deck, addition, new home, ADU, and siding & windows. Save any finished job as your own template.
See it the way you need
Five views of one schedule
Gantt, calendar, list (made for phones), swim lanes by sub, and a 3-week look-ahead.
All jobs at once
A company-wide schedule shows every open project, so you can spot a sub booked on two jobs the same week.
Print view
A clean printable schedule for the job trailer or the client meeting.
When things change
Baselines and what-if versions
Save the plan you sold, compare today's dates to it, and try a scenario without touching the live schedule.
Finish-date forecast
Runs your schedule thousands of times to show a realistic finish range (P50 / P80).
Schedule health check
Checks your logic for common mistakes — missing links, open ends and more — and explains them in plain English.
Bring your schedule with you
Import
Microsoft Project (XML), Primavera P6 (XER / PMXML), Excel and CSV. You review a preview before anything is saved.
Export
Excel, CSV, Microsoft Project XML, P6 XER and calendar (ICS) files, any time.
AI schedule drafts
Describe the job, snap a photo of your whiteboard, or upload a PDF, and get a draft schedule you edit before saving (Pro and Business).

Who it's for
Built for builders, not enterprises.
Remodelers
Kitchens, baths and additions with 20 to 100 tasks. Start from a template and get the sub dates right the first time.
Custom home builders
Several houses at once. One company schedule shows every job, so a sub booked on two houses the same week stands out.
GCs who answer to owners
Baselines, what-if versions and P6 or MS Project export when an owner or lender asks for a formal schedule.
One job, one app
How the schedule runs the rest of the job
Change one thing and the rest keeps up. That's the difference between one app and four.
Subs hear about it
Move a date and only the subs whose work changed get one text or email. They reply 1 to confirm.
Subcontractor managementMoney follows the dates
An approved change order extends the schedule, and milestone invoices are tied to schedule tasks (Pro and Business).
Job costing and change ordersClients see progress
Tasks you mark client-visible show on the homeowner's portal and feed the weekly update.
Client portalField warns the schedule
A submittal with a long lead time, or a late selection, flags the task it will hold up.

Questions
Common questions.
How big a schedule can it handle?
It's built for the 20 to 300-task schedules most remodels and custom homes need, and the scheduling engine handles far larger ones comfortably.
Can I use it without linking tasks?
Yes. You can just set dates. Links are optional, but they save time when things slip.
What is the critical path in construction?
It's the chain of linked tasks that sets the finish date. A delay on any of them moves the finish; tasks off the critical path have float and can slip a little. Construction Company Software works it out for you and shows it in orange on the Gantt.
What is a 3-week look-ahead schedule?
A short-range view of the next three weeks of work, pulled from the master schedule. Supers use it to line up crews, materials and inspections. In Construction Company Software it's a view of the live schedule, so it's never out of date.
What is pull planning?
A Last Planner System practice: the team plans backward from a milestone, each trade says what it needs before it can start, and the plan becomes weekly commitments. Construction Company Software has pull planning, a constraints log and Percent Plan Complete built in.
Is there a construction scheduling app for my phone?
Yes. Construction Company Software installs from your phone's browser to the home screen. The list view is made for phones, and you can download a job to read its schedule with no signal.
Can I share the schedule with my client?
Yes. Mark tasks as client-visible and they appear on the client's private project page, without sub names or internal notes.
We already schedule in Microsoft Project or P6. Can we keep those files?
Yes. Import MS Project XML or Primavera P6 XER / PMXML, work in Construction Company Software, and export back to the same formats whenever an owner or lender asks for them.
