Development and construction job scheduling method

Abstract

A development project scheduling method for scheduling a plurality of development tasks includes the steps of selecting a construction job schedule chart having a list of a plurality of discrete development tasks for completion of a construction job. The development tasks are listed in the order that each task is to be performed relative to the other tasks. The development project schedule has a bar chart bar for each listed construction task scaled to the days required to complete the task. A calendar overlay is then made having calendar days thereon and a plurality of lines marking the calendar days and scaled to the selected development project schedule job schedule chart development task bar chart bars. The calendar overlay is made having selected calendar days, such as Sundays and holidays, missing therefrom. Overlaying the calendar overlay onto the selected development project schedule chart and aligning the calendar overlay calendar date plurality of lines over the current development task days and chart bars indicates the calendar days that each development task is to be performed and completed and the completion date of the construction job. Adjusting the overlay for lost days due to weather or the like gives a new indication of the calendar days for each construction task and completion date of the development project.
