Update task status and percent complete as your team reviews what has happened on site.
Find the work to review
Use Gantt and table views, with filters for phase, status, and assignee.

Questions about construction scheduling software
How do I assign work to team members and subcontractors?
Schedule items can have assigned users and subcontractor companies. Keep those assignments with the dates, status, and description of the work. Review who needs access and how you communicate changes during a scheduling demo to check the setup your team needs.
Which project schedule views does Kaliun provide?
The project schedule has Gantt and table views. The Gantt view lets you review the sequence across a timeline, while the table supports reviewing schedule items and their details. You can filter by phase, status, and assignee. Explore project management in Kaliun to see the schedule alongside the rest of the job.
How does scheduling fit a business with several active jobs?
Each project has its own schedule for phases, dates, assignments, and progress. Review the work within each job and coordinate shared people and trades as part of your planning process. Bring examples of overlapping jobs to a demo so you can assess the workflow for your team. See Kaliun for general contractors for the broader project workflow.
How can I record a delay and review its effect on the schedule?
Record weather or a site issue in a daily log, then update the relevant schedule dates. Dependencies and lag can push affected downstream tasks later when their predecessor dates require it. Review the resulting sequence and communicate the revised plan with the people involved. Explore daily logs for the field record behind that decision.
Do dependent tasks automatically move earlier when work finishes early?
The current dependency adjustment moves affected dates later when required. It does not automatically pull every downstream task earlier when a predecessor moves earlier. Review and update the remaining dates when you want to bring work forward, including trade availability and the gaps between tasks.
How can I keep homeowners informed while the schedule changes?
Use shared daily log entries, photos, documents, and comments to explain project progress and the decisions homeowners need to make. Your team chooses which log entries appear in the client portal. This homeowner communication is separate from the internal schedule. Explore the client portal to review the shared view.
What should a residential contractor look for in scheduling software?
Start with how your jobs are phased, which tasks depend on one another, who owns the work, and how you record progress. Check the timeline and table views, dependency behavior, and the connection to project records using a job your team knows. Explore the remodeler workflow for a residential example.
Where can I review plans and pricing for scheduling?
The pricing page lists current plans and billing details. Consider the people who need access, your project workflow, and any calendar or reporting requirements. Discuss those requirements during a walkthrough before choosing a plan.
What should I bring to a scheduling demo?
Bring a typical residential project, its phases, the tasks that depend on each other, and a recent delay. Include the trades involved and the way you currently share updates with homeowners. Request a scheduling walkthrough to check those steps in Kaliun.
