Construction scheduling is uniquely complex.
Spreadsheets can't handle multiple job sites, weather delays, and certification tracking. You need a tool built for the realities of construction.
Multiple Job Sites
Crews scattered across different locations make coordination a nightmare. Who's where? Who's available?
Weather Delays
Rain, snow, or extreme heat forces last-minute rescheduling. Manual updates take hours.
Certification Tracking

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about construction scheduling software.
What is construction scheduling software?
Construction scheduling software is a digital tool that helps contractors and construction managers assign workers to job sites, track certifications and safety training, manage equipment allocation, and handle schedule changes due to weather or project delays. It replaces spreadsheets and phone calls with a centralized system that all team members can access.
How do you schedule construction workers?
Construction workers are typically scheduled based on project phase, required skills and certifications, job site location, and equipment availability. Modern scheduling software automates this by matching qualified workers to open shifts, checking for conflicts across job sites, and alerting managers to certification expirations or double-bookings.
What is the best app for construction crew management?
The best construction crew management app should handle multi-site scheduling, track worker certifications, integrate with project timelines, and provide real-time communication for field teams. Look for features like mobile access for foremen, weather delay handling, and overtime tracking. NextShifts offers all these features with an intuitive interface.
How can I reduce scheduling conflicts on construction projects?
Reduce scheduling conflicts by using software that provides real-time visibility across all job sites, automatically checks for double-bookings, tracks worker availability and certifications, and sends instant notifications when changes occur. This eliminates the gaps that happen when coordinating via phone calls or spreadsheets.
