Construction project Gantt timeline
A construction project Gantt timeline turns a building sequence into a visible dependency plan. It begins with site preparation, foundation and framing, then separates the trade work that must be complete before drywall and finishes. The final inspection is placed after the necessary completion work. This makes it easier to discuss what can proceed in parallel and which delay would affect handover. It is a planning view, not a substitute for a detailed construction schedule or permit plan.

Scenario
A building team maps the work from site preparation to inspection.
Key decisions
- Sequence structural work: Foundation and framing precede trade work.
- Coordinate trades: Electrical and plumbing rough-in both precede drywall.
- Protect the finish date: Inspection follows all finish work.
When to reuse this
Use for an early work-sequence discussion; confirm site, contract and permit constraints separately.
