Scheduling & Projects

Setting up a project

Create a new project from an awarded bid or from scratch — establish the baseline schedule, assign crews, and set the foundation for tracking.

The project timeline

Visualize and manage your entire project schedule on the timeline — create blocks, set dependencies, assign crews, and watch the schedule respond to changes in real time.

Working with work blocks

Create, configure, and manage work blocks — the individual units of work that make up your project schedule.

Automatic rescheduling (recast)

How Gradeworks automatically recalculates your project schedule when changes happen — respecting dependencies, pinned dates, and the work week calendar.

Parallel work blocks

Schedule overlapping work blocks to compress project timelines — when crews can work simultaneously without interfering with each other.

Pinning dates on the timeline

Lock specific blocks to fixed dates that recast won't move — for concrete pours, inspections, customer deadlines, and any commitment you can't reschedule.

Block dependencies

Link work blocks so one can't start until another finishes — creating the logical sequence that recast uses to calculate your schedule.

Tracking materials on projects

Track material orders, deliveries, and usage across your projects — compare actual consumption to estimates and catch cost overruns before they compound.

The crew calendar

View crew availability across all projects at a glance — find open slots, spot conflicts, and make scheduling decisions with full visibility.
