Critical path
Four link types with lags, work calendars, holidays and date rules. Change anything, press Update, and every date, the float and the critical path are worked out again in one pass.
Construction scheduling for commercial contractors
Build the schedule once. The look-ahead comes with it.
Gradus° is critical-path scheduling for general contractors and subs who run jobs out of Excel, Microsoft Project or a whiteboard. The master schedule and the three-week look-ahead read the same data, so the office and the field never work from two different plans.
In development. Pilot contractors wanted.

One schedule. The look-ahead is the next three weeks of it, cut at today.
What it does
Real critical-path scheduling, plain enough for the field.
Three-week look-ahead
Cut from the master schedule, never typed twice. Stretch it to six weeks. Plan daily tasks, crews, deliveries and inspections under each activity.
Weekly update
Set the data date. Mark what finished and how many days are left on what did not. Gradus° tells you what moved.
Baselines
Freeze the plan. Later, see what slipped against it and by how many days.
From the field
Supers report progress from an iPad or a phone. It lands on the same schedule the office is looking at.
Crews and contractors
Colour the schedule by crew or by phase. Send each sub its own three weeks by email or text.
Your files
Opens Primavera P6 (.xer), Microsoft Project (.xml), Asta Powerproject and Excel files, or paste rows from a spreadsheet. Saves to Excel, PDF, P6 and Microsoft Project.
Print and PDF
One page wide, with your logo, a header and footer, and the dates you pick.
The coach
It checks your logic. You make the call.
Gradus° checks every schedule against a rulebook of how commercial buildings go together. When roofing is not tied to the roof deck, it says so, explains why and offers the fix.
You accept or decline each suggestion, and every decision is kept in the history. Nothing is ever changed for you.
For the harder questions, ask the AI coach in your own words. It answers from your schedule.
Logic check
Roof deck before roofing
Roofing isn't scheduled after Roof decking. The roofer needs a finished deck to work on. Decking is down and fastened first.
Suggested fix: link Roof decking to Roofing finish-to-start. Roofing moves to Apr 23. The finish date stays May 21.

Run a real job on Gradus°.
We are choosing a few commercial contractors to run a real job on Gradus° before it opens. You get the software and a direct line to the people building it. We hear what gets in your way.
