For home builders, whose schedule is a chain of subs.

A house is twenty trades in a row, and one late inspection moves all of them. Groundflag's schedule moves the chain for you and tells the people on it.

What matters most when building houses

• The sequence, linked once.

  Dependencies with lag, working days and holidays; when framing slips, everything after it moves and keeps its slack.

• The same house, again.

  Schedule templates by job type start the next house with the sequence you already know, and Microsoft Project files import if that is where it lives.

• Subs who hear about it.

  When dates change, the people on those tasks get an email; a sub with only a phone number can get a text, if you turn it on.

• Rain on record.

  One tap pushes a rain day through the schedule and writes the delay into the daily log.

• Budget per house.

  Budget, committed and actual by cost code, with a forecast that never reads better than what is already spent.

Draws, waivers and selections

Bill by progress on each line of the accepted estimate, or run pay applications on a schedule of values with retainage. Lien waivers go out from the job and are signed by link. Subs fill a prequalification form with their insurance certificate, and the client picks finishes against an allowance on the portal.
