Step 1: Navigate to the Scheduling module

Navigate to your project and select the Scheduling module from the menu on the left-hand side of the page.

Step 2: Name your schedule

If this is your first schedule or you're creating a new one, you'll need to give it a name.

Step 3: Choose how to create your schedule

Once you've named your schedule, you'll be presented with two options:

  1. Start from scratch: Build a new schedule with written inputs using AI

  2. Import a schedule: Upload an existing schedule from another source

Option 1: Starting from scratch

If you choose to start from scratch:

  1. Enter a description of your building (e.g., "Two-story residential")

  2. Set the start and end dates for your project

  3. Click "Generate" to have BuildPass create your schedule template

Option 2: Importing a schedule

If you have an existing schedule in PDF format or even a photo of a whiteboard schedule:

  1. Select the "Import a schedule" option

  2. Upload your file (PDF, image, etc.)

  3. Set the start and end dates for your project

  4. Click "Import" to proceed

Step 4: Review suggested phases

BuildPass will suggest phases for your project aligned with major construction milestones (structural work, surfaces, finishing, etc.).

Review these suggestions and make any necessary adjustments before proceeding.

Step 5: Finalize your schedule

Once you've confirmed the phases and tasks, BuildPass will generate your complete schedule. From here, you can:

  • Refine task durations

  • Add or remove tasks

  • Assign tasks to team members or subcontractors

  • Set task statuses

  • Manage dependencies
