What exactly is a Gantt Chart? Well, in very simple terms, it is a bar chart that is used to illustrate a variety of details about any construction project, such as when it should be started and completed, and what activities are included as part of it. By developing a building schedule – a plan, the owner/ builder knows in advance when every facet of the job is to begin and when it should be completed. This is a planning function and is carried out before the job is begun.

When planning construction projects always create an overall company schedule along with the individual project schedules.
Construction Company Schedule
This overall company schedule displays the scheduling information for all current and upcoming projects. The benefits of creating a Company Schedule are the ability to see how far out your construction company is booked, where conflicts between projects may arise, any gaps in work, and when the major and minor milestones are required to be completed.
Here are a few necessary steps in building your Construction Project Schedule:
- List all the Phases of the Project.
- Break down the phases into individual child tasks.
- Establish the required Milestones for each Phase of the project.
- Set the task dependencies for each task and any overlap that can occur between tasks.
- Publish the Gantt Chart.
- Review the Project Schedule continuously with all stakeholders and make changes as required.
- Coordinate changes in the Project Schedule to the Company Schedule each week.
Our construction Gantt chart excel template also accounts for Costs which is very important while planning construction projects. We have two levels of costs.
Project Budget (Estimated & Baseline)
&
Task Level Costs (Estimated, Baseline & Actuals)
With this, you have a clear idea of what are the costs involved in the project and the client too is happy that all costs are tracked in a single document.
The other interesting feature is a Project Dashboard. The project management dashboard in Gantt Excel gives project managers, team members, and stakeholders an instant overview of the status and progress of the project. Your clients will be very impressed when they see the project summary as a dashboard. It provides a clear idea of the project plan and indicates current progress of the project.
