Remodel scheduling, built for the real world
Build a remodel schedule that accounts for the delays that actually happen.
Permits. Inspections. Long-lead materials. ContractorGantt turns your job details into a dated critical path, order-by deadlines, draw milestones, and a homeowner-ready plan.
First schedule in about a minute. No demo, no setup fee, no card.

Float absorbs the current risk. The completion date holds because cabinet delivery still clears the install window.

Interactive example
Put a real job on the calendar.
Enter four details to preview the dates ContractorGantt can surface. This example demonstrates the workflow; local permit and crew conditions still need confirmation.
- Estimated completion date
- Cabinet order-by date
- Rough inspection gate
Why dates move
The delays that control the finish date are already in the plan.
Make every inspection a real gate.
Rough, insulation, and final inspections block the work that depends on them. Move the gate and affected tasks move with it.
Order by the date the job requires.
See the latest safe order date for cabinets, windows, countertops, and other long-lead materials.
What you get
Answer "When will we be done?" with a schedule you can defend.

What-if planning
See whether a delay actually changes the finish date.
Add the delay and see whether available float absorbs it or the completion date moves. Reschedule the work that matters, not every sub on the job.

Where this fits
Scheduling-first software, without an all-in-one platform rollout.
If you need estimating, invoicing, job costing, and a full client portal in one system, choose an all-in-one platform. If scheduling is the part that is hurting, start here.

Where do the task durations come from?
ContractorGantt starts with residential remodel sequences and adjusts them using job type, square footage, crew size, and finish level. Edit the assumptions and affected dates recalculate.
Does it know my city's permit timeline?
You enter the expected turnaround for the permitting jurisdiction for each job. Confirm the timing with the local building department.
Does this replace Buildertrend or JobTread?
No. Those platforms combine scheduling with estimating, job costing, invoicing, documents, and client management. ContractorGantt focuses on creating and updating remodel schedules.
Is there an app?
ContractorGantt works in your browser and is designed for phones, tablets, and computers. No app download is required.
What does it cost right now?
Nothing today. Billing is not switched on yet, and we do not ask for a card, so there is no subscription to cancel. The plan will be $79/month per company rather than per user, whatever number of jobs you are running. Anyone who signs up before billing starts keeps $29/month for as long as they stay — we will put that in writing, and we will tell you before anything is charged.
