Boost Efficiency and Savings for General Contractors with Location-based Scheduling

For general contractors, location-based scheduling is a clear win. Converting from Gantt charts to location-based schedules can reduce construction periods by 10-20%.

A 20-month project compressed to 16 months delivers significant cost savings and substantially reduces CO2 emissions.

One key advantage of location-based scheduling is early identification of critical issues, enabling timely corrections.

Consider this real example:

A plumber requests additional days per bathroom on a large residential project. The general contractor is open to the proposal, but the location-based analysis reveals this minor adjustment would delay the entire project by three months—a consequence invisible in traditional Gantt charts. Understanding the impact, the plumber agrees to increase crew size instead.

This demonstrates how location-based scheduling unveils unforeseen consequences that traditional methods miss, protecting both project timelines and budgets while supporting sustainability goals.
