Remodel scheduling, built for the real world
Build a remodel schedule that accounts for the delays that actually happen.
Permits. Inspections. Long-lead materials. ContractorGantt turns your job details into a dated critical path, order-by deadlines, draw milestones, and a homeowner-ready plan.
First schedule in about a minute. No demo, no setup fee, no card.

Float absorbs the current risk. The completion date holds because cabinet delivery still clears the install window.

How it works
From job details to a schedule you can run.
Start with the inputs you already know. ContractorGantt handles the sequence, dependencies, and dates.

-
02

Add permit turnaround, inspection gates, and known material lead times.
-
03

See the critical path, float, order-by list, draw milestones, and homeowner view.
Interactive example
Put a real job on the calendar.
Enter four details to preview the dates ContractorGantt can surface. This example demonstrates the workflow; local permit and crew conditions still need confirmation.
- Estimated completion date
- Cabinet order-by date
- Rough inspection gate
Why dates move
The delays that control the finish date are already in the plan.
Make every inspection a real gate.
Rough, insulation, and final inspections block the work that depends on them. Move the gate and affected tasks move with it.
Order by the date the job requires.
See the latest safe order date for cabinets, windows, countertops, and other long-lead materials.
What you get
Answer "When will we be done?" with a schedule you can defend.
What-if impact
Original finishOct 23
Revised finishOct 23
8 days of float absorbed the delay
What-if planning
See whether a delay actually changes the finish date.
Add the delay and see whether available float absorbs it or the completion date moves. Reschedule the work that matters, not every sub on the job.

Where this fits
Scheduling-first software, without an all-in-one platform rollout.
If you need estimating, invoicing, job costing, and a full client portal in one system, choose an all-in-one platform. If scheduling is the part that is hurting, start here.
