Anyone with extensive experience in the construction sector knows that the project schedule is one of the most important documents involved. It allows for easier planning and management of the job, and it makes it easier for all involved parties to make decisions about the future of the project. In our experience, there is generally on person that has the label of “project scheduler” and they are in charge of planning construction for the project management team.

Then there is a person who may be known as an “scheduling expert.” This is not the same thing. A project scheduler is a person who schedules out of necessity. A scheduling expert is a person who excels in their specific job. The good news is that when you work with Fund Control and take advantage of our innovative fund control solutions, you will have one fewer issue in need of scheduling or planning – that’s because our software takes care of it all.

The Job of a Project Scheduler

A person who works as a project scheduler is a person who has learned the basics of managing a schedule, including generating activities, estimating and compiling durations, and using their own knowledge and logic to create an overall plan. Said person is also familiar with updating a scheduling as time goes on and understand all the various departments and how the schedule affects them.

One of the ways in which Fund Control can help take pressure off of this person is by offering a single place for all communication regarding construction loans and the involved parties. While in the past the project scheduler would get information from the various parties, compile it into one place, and adjust any scheduling conflicts as necessary, we make it easy for everyone involved to have instant access to the project and its schedule.

This may sound frightening when you consider the old adage of “too many cooks in the kitchen.” What happens when one person changes a due date or modifies a particular correspondence? We have prevented this from being an issue by offer constant tracking of changes and edits. You can see who has changed what documents, what changes they made, and when those changes were made. They can even leave notes so that anyone reading understands the reasoning.
