How to build a project schedule
Add tasks with dates and dependencies, then visualize everything on a Gantt chart.
A project schedule keeps your crew, subs, and client on the same page about what's happening and when. Kaliun gives you a visual timeline you can build out in minutes.
Open the project
Go to Projects and click the project you want to schedule.
Go to the Schedule tab
Click the Schedule tab. You'll see the Gantt chart view where your tasks will appear as bars on a timeline.
Add tasks
Click Add Task to create schedule items. Give each one a name, a start date, and an end date. For example: "Rough Framing" from June 2 to June 13.
Add dependencies (optional)
If one task can't start until another finishes, link them with a dependency. This way, if framing runs long, everything downstream shifts automatically.
Use Auto-Sequence (optional)
Click Auto-Sequence to reorder your tasks based on standard NAHB construction sequencing. Kaliun looks at the cost codes on your tasks and puts them in the order a typical build follows — site work before foundation, framing before drywall, and so on.
Mark key dates as milestones — things like "Permit approved" or "Final inspection". Milestones appear as diamond markers on the Gantt chart and are easy to spot at a glance.
What happens next
- The Gantt chart updates in real time as you add and adjust tasks
- You can save a baseline snapshot to compare your original plan against the actual timeline later
- Team members assigned to tasks will see them on their personal task lists and calendars
- If dates shift, dependencies keep everything aligned so nothing falls through the cracks
