Site visits and project phases

General contractor scheduling software

General contractor scheduling software for the site visit before the contract and every phase after it. Homeowners book an estimate visit from your website, each phase of the project is set on the crew lead's calendar day by day, and owners are told when a date moves.

A short tour of the screens this page describes. It is filmed with our demo pest control company, and every trade runs on the same screens.

Estimate visits from your site

Put the booking page in consultation mode, and homeowners pick a time for a free site visit. Their description of the project and photos of the space come with the request.

Online booking

Construction phases by crew lead

Demolition, framing and finish work are booked as dated jobs for the crew lead running them, so the calendar shows who is on which site each day.

Calendar scheduling

Inspections and deliveries

The framing inspection and the window delivery dates are noted on the project, and the next phase is booked only once they are confirmed.

Job management

Owners kept in the loop

When a phase slips because of weather or a late delivery, moving it sends the owner the new date, so the change does not reach them through the crew.

Automatic texts

Crew lead time off

Approved time off shows when you assign a phase, so a crew lead's vacation week is visible before the schedule is set.
