Project scheduling in construction requires extracting dates from briefs, building timelines in spreadsheets, and manually tracking resource conflicts and site progress. Manual scheduling is error-prone, delays critical updates by days, and leaves the schedule out of sync with site reality.
Automated scheduling reads project briefs to extract milestones, monitors resource allocation across all active projects, and syncs site progress updates in real time. The schedule stays current, conflicts are flagged automatically, and stakeholders receive same-day notifications of changes.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A new project award or schedule change notice arrives via email or is flagged in the project portal. The automation is triggered and begins extracting key information.
The automation reads the project brief and automatically extracts critical dates, milestones, dependencies, and resource requirements into structured data.
The automation creates a new project schedule with tasks, durations, dependencies, and resource fields pre-populated based on the extracted data and historical project templates.
The automation queries resource allocation data across all active projects and flags any conflicts or over-allocations. A decision node asks whether conflicts exist.
If conflicts are detected, the automation sends a message to the project manager with a summary and a link to resolve assignments manually.
The automation sends a daily or weekly reminder to the site supervisor asking for progress updates on active tasks, with a simple form to fill in.
When site updates are submitted, the automation logs actual progress, recalculates the critical path, and flags any delays that affect project completion.
The automation sends a notification to the project manager and client with a summary of schedule changes, risks, and any tasks now at risk of delay.
