# Scheduling > Construction schedule templates: Gantt charts, three and six week look-aheads, pull planning boards, milestone and procurement schedules, and delay notices. - URL: https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/ - Publisher: Essential Construction (https://essential.construction/) - Products in this category: 76 --- Construction schedule templates for planning and tracking work at every level, from the master schedule to next week’s tasks. Find Gantt charts, three and six week look-ahead schedules, lean pull planning templates, milestone and procurement schedules, and sample house schedules. Made for schedulers, project managers, superintendents and foremen who need a clear, shareable plan. ## What's in scheduling Construction schedules work at different levels of detail. The templates cover each one: - **Master and milestone schedules**: Gantt charts, milestone schedules and sample single and two storey house schedules. - **Look-ahead schedules**: three week, six week and weekly look-ahead planners for the field team. - **Lean planning**: pull planning templates for working back from a milestone with trade partners. - **Procurement and tracking**: procurement schedules, progress tracking and delay notice letters. Schedulers and project managers own the master schedule. Superintendents and foremen run the look-aheads and pull plans, and the delay notice letter helps document time impacts as they happen. ## Popular construction schedule templates - [Lean Construction Pull Planning Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/lean-construction-pull-planning-template/): plan backward from a milestone with the trades. - [Six Week Look Ahead Schedule Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/six-week-look-ahead-schedule-template/): a rolling short-term plan for the field. - [Weekly Lookahead Planner](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/weekly-lookahead-planner/): assign this week's tasks by crew. - [Construction Project Gantt Chart](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/project-gantt-chart/): a bar chart of activities and durations. - [Construction Milestone Schedule Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-milestone-schedule-template/): key dates for owners and executives. - [Construction Procurement Schedule - Detailed](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-procurement-schedule-detailed/): track submittals, orders and deliveries. - [Construction Schedule - Two Storey House (Microsoft Project)](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-schedule-two-storey-house-microsoft-project/): a sample residential schedule. - [Construction Delay Notice Letter](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-delay-notice-letter/): give written notice of a delay. ## Related categories and guides Start the baseline in [Project Planning](https://essential.construction/files/pre-construction/project-planning/), and track progress with [Reporting](https://essential.construction/files/business-operations/reporting/) templates and [Administration](https://essential.construction/files/construction/administration/) logs. From the Academy: [Fundamentals Of Construction Scheduling](https://essential.construction/academy/tutorials/fundamentals-of-construction-scheduling/), [Lean Construction – Pull Planning Explained](https://essential.construction/academy/tutorials/lean-construction-pull-planning-explained/) and the glossary entry for [Critical Path](https://essential.construction/academy/glossary/critical-path/). ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a pull planning template? Pull planning is a lean technique where the team starts from a milestone and works backward, with each trade stating what it needs from the trade before it. A pull planning template gives the session a structure for tasks, handoffs, durations and commitments. ### What is the difference between a master schedule and a look-ahead? The master schedule covers the whole project and is used to track the critical path and key dates. A look-ahead covers the next few weeks in more detail so the field team can line up crews, materials and inspections. ### Which software do I need for these schedules? It depends on the template. Some are named for the software they use, such as the Microsoft Project house schedules, while others are spreadsheets or printable sheets. Check the format listed on each product page. ### How often should a construction schedule be updated? Update look-ahead schedules every week. Master schedules are usually updated at a regular interval, such as monthly, or whatever the contract requires, and whenever a significant delay or change occurs. ## Templates and files in this category - [Lean Construction Pull Planning Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/lean-construction-pull-planning-template.md?v=1793667261): Excel pull planning template for lean construction: schedule activities collaboratively with your trades. $6.99, or free with a 14-day membership trial. - [Construction Delay Notice Letter](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-delay-notice-letter.md?v=1793716389): Submit your construction delay with this letter template and be comfortable knowing that you have satisfied legal requirements of your contract. - [Six Week Look Ahead Schedule Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/six-week-look-ahead-schedule-template.md?v=1793716368): Excel six week look ahead schedule for foreman meetings and short-term construction planning with your crews. $4.99, or free with a 14-day membership trial. - [Construction Daily Report Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/quality/construction-daily-report-template.md?v=1793667170): Excel construction daily report template for supervisors to log crews, work completed, equipment and site events. $4.99, or free with a 14-day trial. - [Construction Procurement Schedule – Detailed](https://essential.construction/files/construction/scheduling/construction-procurement-schedule-detailed.md?v=1793716476): Detailed Excel procurement schedule tracking award, submittals, approvals and lead times for every package. $6.99, or free with a 14-day membership trial. - [Project Weekly Report Template](https://essential.construction/files/construction/quality/project-weekly-report-template.md?v=1793667441): This construction weekly report template helps you record what happened on your jobsite each week and share it with the project team in a consistent format.
