The big idea
The Gantt you get handed shows when the building will be ready. It doesn't show where your crews need to be, how many workers you need each week, or what you're waiting on from other trades.
So most trade contractors make it up as they go. It works until two or more projects need the same crew in the same week.
The problem you're living
You get a 20-page Gantt PDF from the GC, and nobody has time to turn it into a plan.
One job is over on labour while another is short.
Your crews show up and the job isn't ready, because another trade isn't done.
You bring in subs at the last minute and pay extra for it.
Payroll next month is a guess.
You're tradespeople, not coordinators. Doing this in-house would be a full-time job.
How it works
Why this works
when software didn't.
Scheduling software fails because nobody has time to keep it updated. We keep it updated for you. All we need is a daily 1-minute voice note from your site super. You never touch the software.

Day 1: send us the GC's schedule.
PDF, Excel or MS Project, plus your crew list. PDFs are fine, even large ones.
2
Within 48 hours, you'll have your own master schedule, created from your GC's.
A short report shows what your crews are waiting on, how many workers you need each week, and the gaps in the GC's schedule.

Day 3: a 60-minute walkthrough
We walk you through the schedule and the report, and fill in any information that's missing.
Not happy at the end of the call? We refund your $995.

FAQ
Will this work for a company like ours?
Firm Formwork in Halifax finished a month ahead of the GC's schedule and on budget. If your schedules come from the GC, it's built for you.
How much of my time does it take?
Send us the GC's schedule and your crew list. Then a 60-minute walkthrough. After that, your site super's one-minute voice note a day, and a call every two weeks.
We only have a PDF of the GC's schedule.
That's what most trades get. PDFs are fine, even large ones. Excel and MS Project work too.
Will the GC be able to read it?
Yes. It's a picture of the job, not a spreadsheet. On Tom St. Onge's project, the director asked for the schedule in OverVue.
What does my site super actually do?
Once a day, they send us a one-minute voice note about what happened on site: progress, what's finished, any delays, and which crews and workers were there. We update your schedule from it.
Is it worth $995?
One crew of three standing around for a day costs about $1,500. Save one idle day and the $995 has paid for itself.
Does it stay current after you build it?
Yes. That's the point. We update it every day, including key resources, from your super's voice notes.
What's the risk to us?
Very little. You see your master schedule and detailed report on a 60-minute walkthrough before you commit. Don't like what you see? We refund your $995 at the end of that call. Like it? We carry on for the rest of the month. No long contract: cancel with 10 days' notice.
How long have you been doing this?
Clients since 2023. Alan has 30 years on major projects.
