Tutorials For:  Job Status Reports and Scheduling

Return to Features/Tutorials Menu

At the request of many, many custom home builders, CHS is NOT controlled or driven by scheduling.

Therefore, this program can be far simpler to use than most complicated, schedule-driven programs.

The Scheduling Features in CHS are simply handy "bonus" tools that are included in the CHS package.

Making SURE your job costs are managed is our PRIMARY focus!

IMPORTANT:  The Scheduling Information for the CHS 2006 program is under construction.  HOWEVER, the basic features have not changed much, so the information below will be very useful for CHS 2006 customers.

      
SCHEDULING WORKSHEET: 

Set up as many tasks that you'd like to schedule on a Scheduling Worksheet. Enter Start and Duration number of Days that will react to the completion or beginning of other tasks. Copy Scheduling Templates from one job to another. Change the start date (or other beginning dates) and the entire schedule will recalculate for you. Post Finish dates for tasks and the rest of the schedule will adjust. Enter notes about delays and agreements for the task work.

Attach a Job Cost Code Category from your CHS budget to the task and instantly review Change Orders, Purchase Orders, and Costs-To-Date related to the Cost Category.

The Scheduling Movie tutorials are based on Power Point presentations.  If one seems to abruptly stop, it will be continued on the next movie.

SCHEDULING ORDER:  Assign Trade or Supplier Vendor from your CHS database and instantly produce a "Scheduling Order" to email or send to the Vendor.   A Scheduling Order includes the job's locations, instructions to the vendor, dates to begin tasks, and duration days for the task.  
GANTT CHARTS:  Print Gantt style scheduling charts for the entire job, phases, for one trade/supplier, or selected trades/suppliers.

SCHEDULING REPORTS / TO-DO LISTS:  Print Scheduling Reports and "To Do" Lists of Tasks based on selections of jobs, vendors, start dates, and Job Managers.
