Production Scheduling
Production Scheduling, developed and supported by BuilderMT, gives users of hand-held devices a fingertip information system to monitor, control, and communicate daily construction activities. Superintendents in the field are able to keep accurate construction schedules and have the information on-hand to reduce costly errors and maintain consistent cycle times.

Production Scheduling can be operated as a stand-alone application, used with Sage Timberline Office software, or further integrated with the Sage Timberline Office suite of production management products. If you choose to integrate with Sage Timberline Office accounting or production management software, information contained in your system is ready to jumpstart the scheduling process.

Whether you choose to integrate or not, schedule templates developed from a builder-defined master list of construction activities and milestones get your jobs started on the right foot. Choose the start date and a specific schedule is generated based on construction sequence, duration, and lag times.
