Three-Week Look-Ahead Schedule

CA$25

Prices in Canadian dollars. Any tax that applies is shown at checkout.

A three-week look-ahead in Excel: activities by crew and trade with start dates and working days, checks on what is not ready, crew days by week, and a one-page landscape look-ahead to share with everyone on site.

List your crews and trades by number, then add each activity with its area, crew, start date and working days. Finish dates skip Sundays, and every activity shows its working days in each of the three weeks.

The Look-Ahead sheet prints the activities that fall in the three weeks as bars by day, under your company name and project. Activities that are not ready are shaded, finished work shows as a light bar, and the check column flags anything past its finish that is not done, anything not ready that starts within 7 days, and any crew booked for more than 6 days in a week. Change one date to roll the three weeks forward.

  • Activities Excel, up to 60 activities by crew, start and working days
  • Crews Up to 30 crews and trades by number, with days in each week

FAQ

Which days count as working days?

Monday to Saturday. Finish dates skip Sundays. Public holidays are not skipped, so add a day to an activity where you need one.

How do I move to the next three weeks?

Change the look-ahead start date on the Settings sheet. The activities stay in the list and the look-ahead shows the ones that fall in the new weeks.

Can I rename a crew?

Yes. Activities refer to the crew number, so a new name carries through to every sheet.

Does it replace my project schedule?

No. It is a short-term planning sheet to use alongside your overall schedule.
A note on schedules

The look-ahead is a short-term planning aid to use alongside your overall project schedule, not a replacement for it. Working days run Monday to Saturday and public holidays are not skipped, so add a day where you need one, and check dates with each crew and trade before you share it.
