Scheduling

Know what moves your finish date.

A critical-path Gantt with real finish-to-start dependencies, the critical path in red, float per task, baseline vs. actual, and subs assigned to the work, built right into the platform.

Bullwork project schedule Gantt chart with critical path and task progress

A real critical-path schedule, with the critical path and float called out.

Critical path scheduling

A schedule that does the math for you

The dependency graph and critical path are computed in-app. You manage the work, not the spreadsheet.

Critical path scheduling

See the path that decides your finish date

The platform builds the dependency graph in-app and computes the critical path for you. The zero-slack tasks, the ones that move your completion date if they slip, are highlighted in red, so you know exactly where to push.

  • Critical path computed automatically, no manual math
  • Zero-slack tasks highlighted in red
  • Know which delays actually cost you the end date

Construction Gantt chart

A Gantt that understands dependencies

Link tasks finish-to-start and the schedule reflows when one moves. This isn’t a static bar chart. It’s a real dependency model, so a slipped foundation pour pushes everything downstream the moment you log it.

  • Finish-to-start task dependencies
  • Move one task and the downstream chain reflows
  • Built in-app, no Primavera or MS Project license

Float

Know how much room each task has

Every task shows its float, the slack you have before it starts dragging the finish date. Tasks with float give you room to shuffle crews; tasks with none get your attention first.

  • Float shown per task
  • Spot where you have slack to reassign crews
  • Tasks with zero float are your daily priority

Baseline vs. actual

Track the plan against reality

Set a baseline at the start and watch actual progress against it. Each task carries its % complete, so the schedule shows where you are ahead, where you’re behind, and by how much, in one glance.

  • Baseline locked at kickoff vs. live actuals
  • % complete tracked per task
  • See slippage building before it’s a crisis

Resourcing

Tie tasks to the subs doing them

Assign each task to the subcontractor responsible. Now the schedule isn’t just dates. It’s who owns what and when, and it lines up with the commitments and portals the rest of the platform already tracks.

  • Assigned subcontractor on every task
  • Schedule lines up with commitments and AP
  • Subs see their dates in their no-login portal

Questions

Construction scheduling, answered

What is the best construction scheduling software with critical path?

Bullwork Automation builds a critical-path Gantt chart in-app: finish-to-start dependencies, the critical path computed and highlighted in red, float per task, baseline vs. actual, and % complete, with each task tied to the subcontractor doing the work.

How does critical path scheduling work in Bullwork?

The platform builds the task dependency graph in-app and calculates the critical path, the chain of zero-slack tasks that determines your finish date. Those tasks are highlighted in red, and every task shows its float so you know where you have room.

Can I see a construction Gantt chart with task dependencies?

Yes. Link tasks finish-to-start and the Gantt reflows automatically when a task moves, so a slipped task pushes everything downstream the moment you log it, no manual rescheduling.

Does it track baseline vs. actual schedule progress?

Yes. Lock a baseline at kickoff and track actual progress against it, with % complete on every task, so you can see exactly where you’re ahead or behind and by how much.
