The build that schedules itself
Templates, dependencies, and payment gates
Design a construction schedule once, apply it to any job, and watch the whole project run — phases, tasks, emails, and payment milestones triggering each other through a dependency chain. Drag to adjust and everything downstream reflows on its own.
Construction schedule
On trackMonthTimelineTableBuild it once, run it on every job
A schedule that drives itself forward.
Build
Design a schedule template for each job type — phases, tasks, emails, and payment milestones, chained by dependencies.
Apply
Apply a template to a job with a start date and Ardovia generates the whole dated schedule for you.
Run
The chain runs itself — each item ignites the next, firing calendar events, tasks, emails, and invoices on cue.
Manage
Drag to adjust, watch dependencies reflow, and see every job's health at a glance across the board.
Design the build once, reuse it forever
Lay out a schedule template for each job type — phases, tasks, checklists, emails, purchase orders, and payment milestones — and wire them together with dependencies. Publish it, and it's ready to apply to every matching job, exactly the same way every time.
- A reusable blueprint per job type
- Phases, tasks, checklists, emails, POs, and payments
- Draft, publish, and version safely
- Published templates never change live jobs
Drag one phase, the rest follow
Apply a template with a start date and Ardovia generates the whole dated schedule. Then it stays smart: drag a bar to move it or drag its edge to change the duration, and every dependent phase reflows along the chain — respecting working days and skipping weekends, with an opt-out for cure times.
- Apply a template and get a dated schedule
- Finish-to-start, start-to-start, and more, with lead/lag
- Move or resize a bar — downstream reflows instantly
- Working-calendar aware, with elapsed-time opt-out

This isn't just a Gantt chart. As each phase becomes active it fires the real work — a calendar event for the crew, the next task assigned automatically, a status email to the homeowner, and the draw invoice opened for payment. And payment gates hold the build until the money lands.
- Phases generate calendar events with the crew
- Tasks, checklists, and emails fire on cue
- Draw invoices open at the right milestone
- Payment gates block work until a draw is paid

See the whole board in one glance
Every active job is a row on one timeline, each with a health dot — on track, at risk, blocked, or complete. A nightly risk sweep flags what's slipping and a needs-attention queue surfaces the approvals and blockers, so problems are visible before they cost you.

Everything in the construction scheduler
Reusable templates
Build a construction blueprint per job type once — sections, phases, and milestones — then publish it and apply it to every matching job.
Dependency chains
Link items with finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, or start-to-finish relationships and lead/lag days — the real logic of a jobsite.
Auto-scheduling
Move or resize any phase and every downstream item reflows automatically along the dependency chain — forwards and backwards.
Working-calendar aware
Durations count working days and skip weekends, with a per-item opt-out for elapsed-time work like gunite cure or plaster.
It runs itself
As phases fire they generate the real work — calendar events, crew tasks, checklists, and status emails to the homeowner — no manual busywork.
Payment gates
Gate a segment of the build on a draw: downstream phases stay blocked until the draw invoice is paid, with warn, block, or off enforcement.
Three views
See the plan as a jobs-as-rows timeline, a month grid, or an agenda list — and drag bars to reschedule right on the timeline.
Schedule health
Every job rolls up to on-track, at-risk, blocked, or complete, with a nightly risk sweep that surfaces what needs attention.
Feeds the calendar
Phase events flow onto the main calendar with the right crew attached, so the field and the office see the same plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the construction scheduler?
A way to run the whole build. You design a schedule template for each job type — phases, tasks, emails, and payment milestones connected by dependencies — then apply it to a job. From there the schedule runs itself: each item triggers the next, and the project always moves forward.
How do dependencies work?
Link any two items with a finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, or start-to-finish relationship and optional lead or lag days — for example, framing starts when the foundation finishes, or electrical rough-in begins the same day as framing. Move one item and everything downstream reflows on its own.
Can I adjust a live schedule?
Yes. Drag a bar on the timeline to move it, drag its edge to change the duration, and the dependent phases shift with it automatically. You can adjust a single job without touching your template — published templates never retroactively change jobs already running.
What are payment gates?
You can tie a section of the build to a draw so the phases after it stay blocked until that draw invoice is paid — with enforcement set to warn, hard-block, or off. When the payment lands the gate releases automatically, or an authorized manager can override it with a reason.
Does it create the actual work?
It does. When a phase becomes active it generates a calendar event for the crew; other item types fire tasks, checklists, status emails to the homeowner, and draw invoices — so the schedule isn't just a picture, it's the engine.
How do I see everything at once?
The construction board shows every active job as a row on one timeline, each with a health dot — on track, at risk, blocked, or complete — plus month and list views and a needs-attention queue, so nothing slips.
