Scheduling Planning Software for Construction and Architects

Scheduling planning software can assist you in the following tasks:

• Create a task list to ensure that project goals are met.
• Estimate the duration of tasks, labor requirements, and other resources needed for individual tasks.
• Determine or establish resource utilization over time.
• Define resource consumption profiles and resource calculation methods.
• Analyze the technological dependencies of task execution, duration, and resource requirements.
• Calculate deviations from the baseline plan during project execution.
• Track project development in real-time.
• Import resources from construction documents and use the resulting resource list for enterprise-wide resource pools.
• Perform resource planning.
• Assign tasks to employees.
• Create projects using templates.
• Enter actual execution data from time tracking in the project and consider it for project development.
• Continuously calculate remaining work or duration for execution.
• Control and manage the entire project's progress.

Scheduling planning is one of the key concepts in the construction industry, ensuring timely project execution. Scheduling planning forms the basis for managing all types of resources, task planning, and the efficiency of a construction project.

Scheduling planning in the form of a Gantt chart is a clear means of representing the chronological development of a construction project, suitable for determining resource consumption.

Scheduling planning is often supplemented by a network diagram and brings several advantages:

• Linking tasks with a specific technological sequence.
• Managers can constantly monitor the tasks on which the entire construction project's deadline depends.
• Maximizing the reduction of the impact of random factors by analyzing options and choosing the optimal one.
• Implementing clear control over project progress and preventing planned deadline breaches.

Using Scheduling planning together with network models allows companies and construction management to significantly shorten the deadlines for the construction of various facilities, thereby reducing construction costs.

The purpose of a construction schedule is to properly organize all construction phases, coordinate various trades in implementing the ordered tasks within the agreed-upon timeframe, and monitor the construction process.

When creating a construction schedule, the following information is essential:

• Architectural drawings of the building or facility.
• Consolidated construction cost estimate.
• Information on delivery conditions for building components, materials, and equipment.
• Information about types and quantities of planned machinery and equipment.
• Estimated data on the required labor resources for the primary trades.

The construction schedule includes the following steps:

• Selecting the construction method.
• Calculating labor intensity.
• Forming work groups.
• Establishing the task sequence.
• Creating a cost estimate.
• Determining the overlap of construction phases.
• Developing the schedule for the delivery of building materials, machinery, and more.
