Construction Schedule Template (Gantt with Trades & Permits)

For contractors, site managers and fit-out or renovation leads who need a programme that keeps up with the job. It runs on the same scheduling engine as our project planner, with working-day durations, finish-to-start links with lag, and your own working week and holidays, and it adds the columns site work depends on: a trade on every task, inspection hold points with a note, and permits tracked from To apply to Approved. Open hold points and permits that are not yet approved turn amber and appear on the dashboard, so they come up at the site meeting instead of after the fact. Use week view for the whole job and day view for the look-ahead, and print any tab from its preset print area. The filled example is an office fit-out with 11 trades, 4 hold points and 3 permits.

How it works

  1. Tasks tab with trade, hold point and permit columns for the office fit-out example
    Tag trades, holds and permits The Tasks tab adds construction columns: the trade on each task, inspection hold points and permit status. Open items turn amber.
  2. Week-view Gantt chart of the office fit-out from pre-construction through strip-out and first fix
    See the whole job by week Week view shows every phase of the office fit-out example with % done, milestones and the status-date line.
  3. Site dashboard with actual vs planned progress, permits not approved, milestones and progress by phase
    Bring the dashboard to the site meeting Progress vs plan, overdue work, upcoming milestones, open hold points and permits not yet approved on one page.
  4. Tasks tab with calculated start, end and status columns and phase roll-ups
    Status updates itself Start, end and status are calculated by comparing % done with the plan on your status date; phases roll up their tasks.
  5. RAID log with probability x impact scores and a resource load grid of work days per person per week
    Track risks and crew load The RAID log scores probability x impact with overdue flags; resource load shows work days per person per week.
