For construction

Construction scheduling the field will actually keep current.

One project workspace for the schedule, the budget and draws, and the RFI log: a grid every superintendent already understands, a Gantt that moves when reality does, and dashboards for the owner. Subs and field crews who just need to read the schedule see it free as view-only collaborators, and every editor seat is a flat $19 with every feature included.

Why builders switch

Twice the capacity, and view-only sharing is free.

Wisegrid holds up to 1,000,000 cells per sheet, double the commonly-cited Smartsheet ceiling, so a full job cost breakdown does not hit a wall. One flat price of $19 per editor with every feature included, and sharing the schedule read-only with every sub and the owner never adds a paid seat.

Built for how jobs actually runThe three headaches construction scheduling software has to fix

Subcontractor schedules that drift

The schedule lives in the office, the slippage happens in the field, and by the time the two meet, the framer has been gone a week and the drywall crew shows up to open studs.

In Wisegrid the Gantt runs on real Start/End columns with finish-to-start dependencies, lead/lag, and working-day calendars: when framing slips three days, everything downstream moves with it. Anyone who just needs to watch the schedule reads it free as a view-only collaborator, and adding a sub as an editor is a flat $19 seat with every feature included, never a surprise true-up.

Draw and budget tracking in five places

The budget is a spreadsheet, the draw schedule is another one, committed costs live in email, and nobody can answer "how much of draw 3 is left" without an afternoon of reconciliation.

Track budget lines, committed costs, and draws as sheets in one project, roll them up with formulas and cross-sheet references (500 per sheet), and put "spent vs budget by division" on a live dashboard the owner can check without calling you.

RFI logs nobody keeps current

RFIs arrive by text, phone, and site visit. Half get logged. The unanswered ones surface as change orders, delays, and arguments about who knew what when.

A branded intake form gives the field one door: every RFI lands as a row with a number, a date, and a photo attached. An automation alerts the responsible person, and an "on a date" rule chases anything still open when its answer-by date arrives.

Construction templates to start from

Column-by-column construction templates you can rebuild in any grid tool, honestly, or stand up in Wisegrid in a few minutes: schedule, budget and draw tracker, RFI log, and more. Start with the free construction project dashboard and change order template, both ungated Excel downloads. And once one job runs well, save the whole project as a blueprint and stamp out the next job from it.

Frequently asked
How much does construction scheduling software cost in Wisegrid?
$19 per editor per month, with every feature included: Gantt with critical path, forms, automations, dashboards, and blueprints. View-only collaborators are free, so an owner and a dozen subs who only read the schedule cost nothing. There are no feature tiers and no seat true-ups.
Can subcontractors see the construction schedule without a paid seat?
Yes. View-only collaborators are free in Wisegrid, in any number. A sub, an owner, or a lender who just needs to read the schedule or a dashboard never becomes a paid seat, and viewing never converts them into one automatically. Only people who edit need a $19 editor seat.
Does Wisegrid have a Gantt chart with dependencies for construction?
Yes. The Gantt runs on real Start and End date columns with finish-to-start dependencies, lead and lag, working-day calendars, and a highlighted critical path. When one trade slips three days, every dependent task downstream moves with it.
Can the field submit RFIs from a phone?
Yes. A branded intake form opens on any phone, and each submission lands as a numbered row in the RFI log sheet with photos attached. An automation can alert the responsible person on arrival and chase any RFI still open when its answer-by date passes.
How large can a construction project sheet get?
1,000,000 cells per sheet, which is double the commonly-cited ceiling in comparable grid tools. A full job cost breakdown, a multi-year schedule, or a line-item budget does not hit a wall, and cross-sheet references (500 per sheet) roll several logs up into one summary.
Can I reuse one job setup for the next job?
Yes, with blueprints: save a well-run job, its sheets, forms, automations, and dashboards, as a blueprint, then provision the next job from it in minutes. The template gallery also ships construction starters: a dashboard, a budget by cost code, a draw tracker, and a change order log, all free Excel downloads.
Can I import my existing construction spreadsheets?
Yes. Upload an .xlsx and it becomes a live sheet with its columns intact, so the budget or schedule you already keep in Excel is the starting point rather than something to retype. Teams leaving another work management tool can also migrate with the dedicated importer.
Is there a free trial, and what happens when it ends?
7 days, full product, no credit card required, so nothing can be charged automatically. On day 7 editing locks but your data stays viewable and exportable; it is never held hostage. Adding a card at $19 per editor unlocks editing again.
