General Contractor Guide

How to Automate Calendar & Scheduling as a General Contractor

Juggling subs across three active remodels means dealing with conflicting dependencies. When the plumber on the Kim project runs late, it pushes back the electrician and delays cabinet installation. Instead of resting, you spend your evening rewriting the timeline in your head.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

You switch between four text threads and a whiteboard, checking sub availability while trying to remember which task depends on another.

6 hours per week
  1. Text the plumber to ask when the gas line move will finish.
  2. Wait for a reply, then text the electrician to see if Friday still works for rough-in.
  3. Check your physical calendar or whiteboard to see when the cabinet installer is free.
  4. Manually figure out the new completion date based on the delays.
  5. Send separate update texts to the client and each subcontractor.

AI Secretary

Just left the Kim job. Plumber says gas line won't be done until Thursday noon, not today. This bumps everything.
9:41 AM
Got it. Since the electrician can't rough-in until the gas is moved, I've shifted their slot to Friday at 8 AM. Does that work?
9:41 AM
Yes. Also tell the cabinet installer they can't start until Monday the 18th now. And let Mrs. Kim know we're looking at April 8 for completion.
9:42 AM
Done. I've blocked March 18-22 for cabinets on the calendar. I just emailed Mrs. Kim the revised timeline and texted the installer. Want me to send the electrician a confirmation text now?
9:42 AM
Yeah, send it.
9:43 AM
Sent. Your calendar is fully synced. No more double-bookings for this project.
