What's inside

Schedule, Excel (.xlsx), ten sheets, in two versions. 150 task rows with durations in working days, up to two finish-to-start predecessors, lag, start-no-earlier-than dates, a season rule, the draw each task belongs to, baseline dates and actuals. The example carries 121 tasks in 12 phases, from site work to final completion, with spare rows in each phase for your own. A check column flags missing durations, invalid predecessors and tasks that run into a window they should avoid.

Seasonal work windows. Frost, freeze-up, spring load restrictions, open-water barge access, ice access and in-water work, each with editable dates. A task can avoid a window or start only within one.

Views for the office, the site and the client. A weekly Gantt with the driving path, milestones and selection deadlines. A look-ahead of the next ten working days for the trades, with weekends and holidays shaded. A one-page client timeline of stages by month and key dates, under your company name.

Tracking. Progress by phase against plan, forecast against baseline, the driving path to your target task, forecast finish dates for 12 draws, and stage dates for 14 milestones laid out to paste into the Selections & Allowance Tracker.

Start Here guide, 7-page PDF. The sheets, setting up the schedule, the seasonal windows, tracking the build, working with the other workbooks.

FAQ

Do I need cottage or waterfront sites to use it?

No. The seasonal windows apply only to the tasks you assign them to. Leave the season rule blank and the schedule runs on working days and holidays alone.

How do the seasonal windows work?

Each window has dates you set on the Settings sheet. A task marked Avoid does not start inside its window and moves to the first working day after it. A task marked Only within moves to the next window start if its earliest start falls outside.

Which holidays does it use?

Sample holiday dates for 2026 to 2028, labelled Holiday 1 to Holiday 10. Replace them with the holidays your company observes and add your own shutdown days. Substitute days for holidays on a weekend are listed but switched off until you turn them on.

Can I share it with my client?

Yes. The Client Timeline prints on one page under your company name, with stages by month, key dates and selection deadlines. It carries no store branding.

Does it work with the other kits?

It stands on its own. The Draw # column maps tasks to the 12 draws in the Proposal + Welcome Kit draw schedule, and Selections Link supplies stage dates to paste into the Selections & Allowance Tracker.
A note on tax and retainage

The holidays and seasonal window dates in this workbook are sample planning assumptions, not rules. Replace them with your own and confirm road restrictions, water access and in-water work timing each year with the road authority, the municipality and the conditions of your permits. A schedule is a plan, not a promise of dates. Sample documents, not legal or tax advice. Confirm with your accountant and lawyer.
