Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start with your project's milestones and key activities. Break them down into weekly tasks, considering resources and dependencies. Use input from your crew and subcontractors. Keep it flexible and review it regularly to adapt to any changes on site.
Key points
- Identify key milestones and activities.
- Break tasks into weekly segments.
- Involve your crew and subbies in planning.
- Review and adjust regularly.
A good lookahead helps you spot potential issues before they become problems. Engage your team to get their feedback, as they often see things that might not be obvious from the office. This keeps everyone on the same page and improves site efficiency.
