Schedule view for Lot 14, Elmwood, Juniper Ridge, a 12-task Gantt with foundation pour and framing marked done, roof dry-in flagged overdue, and rough plumbing and electric assigned to named trade partners, with cascade dates noted for 47 downstream tasks

One overdue phase, one click to cascade every downstream task and trade-partner confirmation.

The problem

Every new lot starts from a blank calendar.

Rebuilding a schedule from scratch on every lot means someone forgets a phase, a permit timing rule specific to your state, or the lead time on cabinets. When a rain delay or a backed-up inspector hits, every downstream date has to be pushed by hand, phase by phase.

How it works

From template to lot schedule in seconds.

Build the template once. Every new lot inherits it. State overlays handle everything that changes mid-job.

Create the template

Build a phase-by-phase template for each plan: Site, Foundation, Frame, Rough Mechanical, Insulation, Drywall, Finish, Final. Set durations, predecessor logic, and trade assignments.

Apply to a lot

When a new lot is created, the schedule populates automatically. Phase start dates calculate from the planned lot start date, no manual date entry on every job.

Apply state overlays

Rain delay? Inspector backed up? Material stuck in transit? Apply the right overlay with one click and downstream phases push automatically. Every change is logged.

Field crew sees their slice

Trade partners only see the phases that involve their trade, no confidential pricing, no other trades' timelines. Their portal shows what they need, when they need it.

Illustrative example

Lot 22, Clearwater 3+2 at Elmwood.

Seven phases in progress. One inspection hold applied. Downstream phases automatically adjusted.

One click. Downstream phases adjust automatically.

Every jobsite has delays. Lotwright handles them without requiring you to manually reschedule every downstream phase.

🌧️

Weather Delay

Select the affected phase and the number of days lost. Lotwright pushes every downstream phase by the same amount, no manual adjustments. The delay is logged with date and duration.

🔎

Inspection Hold

Waiting on an inspector? Place a hold at the inspection gate. Work is blocked from proceeding past the hold phase. When the inspector clears it, remove the hold and work resumes on the adjusted schedule.

📦

Material Backorder

Windows stuck in transit? Mark the affected phase with a backorder overlay. Lotwright logs the supply issue against the job and adjusts dependent phases when the material arrival date is known.

Outcomes

What a template actually buys you.

Nothing forgotten on lot one

Every phase and its state-specific requirements are already in the template. No relying on memory for what Florida termite pretreat or Texas post-tension inspection require.

One click, not a re-schedule

A rain delay pushes every downstream phase automatically. No manually retyping dates across 150 tasks because one inspection ran long.

Every community, one view

See every active lot across every community at once, which jobs are behind, which overlays are applied, and what's due this week.

Under the hood

Scheduling built for production homebuilders.

Not a generic project manager. Not a calendar app. Built for the 8-phase production home with predecessor logic and trade-scoped visibility.

📋

Template library

Build one template per plan type. Two-story vs. single-story, slab vs. basement, each gets its own phase structure and durations. Apply to any lot in any community.

🔗

Predecessor logic

Phases wait on predecessors. Framing can't start until foundation passes inspection. Change one date and the whole downstream schedule adjusts.

📲

Automated trade partner notifications

When a phase goes active, Lotwright notifies the assigned trade automatically. No calls, no texts, no "did you see my message?" The trade partner confirms or flags an issue in the portal.

👁️

Trade-scoped visibility

Trade partners only see phases relevant to their trade. No confidential pricing, no other trades' schedules. Their portal shows exactly what they need, nothing more.

📸

Phase completion with photos

When a super marks a phase complete, they can attach photos to document the finished work. Photos store against the phase permanently, proof of completion when disputes arise later.

📊

Across-community view

See all active lots across every community on one screen. Spot which jobs are running behind, which overlays are applied, and which phases are due this week, at a glance.
