Construction scheduling software could be described as the timekeeper of today’s construction project. Cloud-based and synchronously viewable by all permitted project workers, Procore’s construction project scheduling software keeps the project on track in a real-time, shared scheduling ecosystem.

While superintendents and other stakeholders may use construction project scheduling software as a look-ahead to track both current and planned objectives on the project, collaborators count on the currency of an up-to-the-minute project schedule to tell them what day(s) they need to be on the jobsite and what the specifically assigned tasks are for the given workday.

Is construction planning and scheduling software an improvement over simply having the hardcopy schedule posted in the jobsite trailer or other common area? Yes. The digital nature of the construction scheduling software means the detailed project schedule is accessible in real time to all users wherever they are. It also means the team will always be able to view the latest, most up-to-date synchronized schedule. 

Schedule updates happen automatically in real time, so that users never have to worry about tracking schedule revisions, or wonder if they are seeing the most recent schedule iteration. The Procore platform proffers a single source of truth in every instance.

 Construction planning and scheduling software means the user may filter the project schedule by task or by specialty contractor, or any number of other criteria, such as "plumbing contractor" or "framing." Pull up the construction scheduling app on any smart device, and from any connected location. Search through a large, complex project schedule for the relevant text. Easily get the construction schedule information you need when you need it.

 It’s a fact; Gannt charts aren’t for everybody. What good is a constantly updated, commonly available project schedule if the info it presents has to be deciphered to be understood? The Procore Schedule Tool also offers a familiar calendar view by day, week, or month. In calendar view, project tasks are presented as individual bars which display the task name, the crewmember(s) assigned to that task, and the task start and finish dates. Each task on the calendar has a clickable link that allows you to edit and customize the task in several ways to make it even clearer. Users can choose to change the task start date, finish date, or the percentage complete for each individual task.
