When one trade slips, the next one already knows.
On site, delays travel between trades faster than they travel up a report. Buildflic tracks the dependencies between subcontractors and moves the downstream start windows the moment an upstream task changes - automatically, with the new dates attached.
Slab cure runs 1 day long on Block B
->Electrical and plumbing starts shifted, both notified
A sequence, not a set of separate bookings.
The value is in the handoffs. Once the chain is mapped, a single slip re-times everything that depends on it, cleanly.
- 1
Map the handoffs between trades
Record which trade hands off to which - slab to electrical, electrical to plumbing - so a schedule is a chain of dependencies, not a list of parallel bookings.
- 2
Watch the upstream trade in real time
As the upstream task progresses, Buildflic knows exactly when the next trade can realistically start, based on actual pace rather than the original booking.
- 3
Notify downstream the moment it shifts
When an upstream slip moves a start window, the affected subcontractors are notified automatically - with the new window, not a vague heads-up.
- 4
Keep the whole chain re-timed
One shift ripples through the sequence cleanly, so every trade downstream is working to the same current dates instead of a plan that only one person has updated.
A one-day cure, followed through the trades.
A slab that cures a day long on Block B does not stop at the slab - here is how the sequence re-times, with each trade notified.
What the engine did
The extra cure day pushed the electrical rough-in start by a day, which in turn re-queued plumbing behind it. Both subcontractors were notified with their new start windows the moment the cure ran long - so nobody arrived to a site that was not ready.
Notifications reach whoever you connect
Automatic notifications go to the subcontractor contacts set on each trade. Buildflic keeps the dates and the chain honest - confirming a new window and mobilising the crew still sits with the people running the site, which is where that call belongs.
Keep every trade on the same current dates.
