CoPres: the AI that automates construction management.

Scheduling

Project activity timeline, durations and dependencies

About this module

Construction scheduling

Turn the approved budget into a planning schedule ready to coordinate site work, purchasing, and management. CoPres automatically builds activities from the budget structure —phases, chapters, subchapters, and line items— and displays them in an interactive Gantt with a scalable timeline (year, month, week, and day), expandable hierarchy, and task links. Drag bars to adjust dates, resize durations from the right edge, define finish-to-start, start-to-finish, start-to-start, and finish-to-finish dependencies, and review an analytics report with charts for days per chapter, link distribution, cumulative duration curve, and a link-type explorer. The schedule stays tied to the active project: when the budget is updated, scheduling syncs while keeping valid dates and relationships. This is a construction planning module —not physical progress tracking— but it already delivers the logical sequence that engineering, purchasing, and management need to anticipate deadlines, resources, and milestones.

More about automating job scheduling with AI

Benefits

  • Generate the schedule from the budget in one click, keeping the same hierarchy and code order as the estimate. Read more…
  • Define activity links (finish→start, start→finish, start→start, and finish→finish) from bar ends or the task editor.
  • Analyze planning with executive-style charts: days per chapter, linked vs unlinked activities, and dependency types.

Interactive Gantt capabilities

  • View the Gantt with zoom, fit-to-screen, horizontal pan, and weekends highlighted on activity rows.
  • Adjust dates by dragging bars and change durations by resizing the right edge, with a live day count label.
  • Explore links by type in a searchable modal and review unlinked activities when the sequence is incomplete.
  • Collapse or expand the full hierarchy to focus on a chapter or present the entire schedule to the team.
  • Anticipate material and labor needs and communicate deadlines with a clear schedule aligned to the active project budget.

Benefits of automating job scheduling with AI

  • Generate the schedule in one click from the budget created or imported with AI: same phases, chapters, and activities, without retyping the task list.
  • Import durations from Excel or CSV: AI reads the columns and applies timelines to the active project’s Gantt.
  • When the budget is updated, scheduling syncs on its own and keeps valid dates and links: less rework when the scope changes.
  • The team collaborates on one cloud Gantt—engineering, purchasing, and management—with the sequence ready to anticipate materials and labor.

Job scheduling in CoPres

Construction scheduling Gantt with interactive timeline, task links, and budget hierarchy in CoPres
From budget to schedule

Activities are built automatically from phases, chapters, subchapters, and line items in the approved budget, keeping hierarchy and code order. When the active project budget is updated, scheduling syncs while preserving valid dates and links.

Interactive Gantt for engineering

Scalable timeline (year, month, week, and day), zoom, fit-to-screen, expandable hierarchy, and weekends highlighted. Drag bars and resize durations with a live day count label.

Analytics report and link explorer

Charts for days per chapter, linked vs unlinked activities, cumulative duration curve, and filters by link type. A searchable modal helps audit predecessors and successors before sharing deadlines.

Planning connected to purchasing and management

Anticipate materials and labor along the programmed sequence and communicate milestones with a schedule aligned to the budget. This is job planning —physical progress tracking will come in a dedicated module—.

Built for estimating and engineering teams

Ideal for teams bidding and scheduling several jobs at once. Versus a Gantt disconnected from the budget, CoPres starts from the actual line items and keeps them live. Register free at www.sistemacopres.com, generate the budget with AI, and build the schedule in the same project.
