Construction Scheduling Software
Plan phases on a Gantt with real dependencies, see the critical path, and get told when you've booked the same crew in two places.
Construction schedules break at the seams between trades. A phase slips, the three phases that depended on it should move, and nobody finds out until a crew shows up to a site that isn't ready for them.
SiteAnchor's timeline models those seams explicitly. Phases carry dependencies, moving one cascades to everything downstream, and the schedule checks itself for the conflicts that actually cost days.
What it does
Dependencies with cascade
- Link phases so a slip moves everything downstream automatically. Circular dependencies are rejected at the point you'd create them rather than corrupting the schedule quietly.
Critical path overlay
- Toggle the critical path to see which chain of phases actually controls the finish date, and which have float you can spend.
Nested to-dos with real times
- Break a phase into to-dos scheduled to the minute, while the parent phase stays at day resolution — useful when a single day holds an inspection window and two deliveries.
Conflict detection that runs on its own
- Double-booked crew members, subcontractors booked on two jobs the same day, and rental equipment promised twice are all flagged automatically, on the dashboard and on the phase itself.
Assign subs and crew groups to phases
- Put a subcontractor or a saved crew group on a phase directly, so the schedule says who as well as when.
Calendar subscription
- Subscribe to the company schedule from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook over a private webcal feed, so the schedule shows up where people already look.
How it works
- 01
Lay out the phases
Build the job's phases on the timeline, with durations and dates.
- 02
Link what depends on what
Connect phases so downstream work moves when upstream work slips.
- 03
Assign the people
Put crew groups and subcontractors on the phases they own.
- 04
Let it flag the collisions
Conflicts surface automatically as the schedule changes.
Works with the rest of the platform
Scheduling isn't a standalone module — it shares the same job record as everything else in SiteAnchor.
Daily Logs
Capture weather, crew, work performed, and jobsite photos from the field — on the day, from a phone, not retyped into a spreadsheet at night.
Crew Time Tracking
Crew clock in and out against a specific job and phase from their phones, with off-site clock-ins flagged for review and hours that flow into job costing and invoices.
Subcontractors
Bid work out to subs, track their insurance and rates, and run RFIs, submittals, and change orders through one hub — with no login required on their end.
Client Portal
Give homeowners and property owners their own login for photos, schedule, invoices, change orders, and messages — branded to your company.
For General Contractors
Coordinate subs, schedules, budgets, and clients across every job you have running — without a different app for each one.
For Home Builders
Run long build cycles with draw schedules, selections, and a client portal that keeps buyers informed without keeping you on the phone.
For Framing Contractors
Track crew productivity by phase, keep material moving ahead of the crew, and hold your place in a schedule that keeps moving.
Frequently asked questions
Does the schedule show a critical path?
- Yes — a toggleable overlay marks the dependency chain that controls the completion date.
What happens when a phase slips?
- Phases linked downstream of it cascade automatically. Dependency loops are prevented when you create them, so the cascade can't run away.
Will it tell me if I've double-booked a crew?
- Yes. Crew, subcontractor, and rental-equipment conflicts are detected automatically and surfaced on the dashboard and the affected phase.
What is the best construction scheduling software?
- The test worth applying is whether the schedule knows what depends on what. A Gantt chart that only draws bars is a drawing; one with real dependencies moves five phases when the first one slips, and tells you which chain actually controls the finish date.
Does it have a Gantt chart?
- Yes — phases sit on a zoomable Gantt with dependency links, a critical path overlay, draw milestones, and assigned crew groups and subcontractors shown on the phases they own.
Can I share the schedule with clients and subs?
- Yes. A per-project timeline view can be shared to the client portal, subcontractors see the work they're assigned through their own portal, and the whole company schedule can be subscribed to from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook over a private webcal feed.
Can I schedule work down to the hour?
- Yes. Phases stay at day resolution with nested to-dos scheduled to the minute underneath, which is what a day holding an inspection window and two deliveries actually needs.
