Is the construction schedule generator free?

Yes. The schedule preview is free. Creating a Planaut account lets you edit, download, import, and manage the schedule in a project workspace.

Can I use this schedule as my final CPM schedule?

No. The generator creates a planning draft. Project teams should review sequencing, durations, procurement, inspections, constraints, and contract requirements before using a schedule operationally.

Project complexity

Primary phases

Scope notes

Permit or formal plan review is required

This is a planning preview, not a contract schedule. Review dates, logic, procurement, inspections, and constraints before use.

When to use the generator

The free preview is best for early planning, client conversations, and turning a rough scope into a visible sequence before a full review.

Blank-page planning

Start with a reasonable first pass when the team needs a schedule outline before deeper sequencing.

Owner conversations

Use the preview to explain phases, handoffs, and likely schedule drivers before committing dates.

Planaut workspace

Move from preview to editable project controls with scope, schedules, budgets, RFIs, and closeout workflows.

Tips for creating construction schedules with AI

AI is most useful when it has clear project context and a human scheduler reviews the logic before the schedule becomes operational.

Start with real scope

Paste the trades, rooms, systems, alternates, and exclusions you already know. Better source notes produce fewer generic activities.

Ask for logic, not only dates

Have AI identify predecessors, handoffs, long-lead items, inspections, and close-in constraints before locking down calendar dates.

Expose assumptions

Tell the model to mark unknowns as TBD and call out permitting, procurement, access, shutdown, weather, and owner-decision risks.

Review by trade

Walk the draft with the superintendent and key trades. Look for crew stacking, missing inspections, bad sequencing, and unrealistic durations.

Regenerate after changes

When scope, procurement, or owner requirements change, refresh the schedule draft and compare what shifted before issuing updates.

Turn drafts into controls

Use the AI draft as a starting point, then assign owners, baseline dates, track actuals, and manage changes inside the project workflow.
