Project Timeline Generator

How to use the Project Timeline Generator

1. Enter the project name and start date.
2. Add tasks with descriptions, durations, and start dates.
3. Link tasks with dependencies (finish-to-start).
4. View the Gantt chart and export it as a PDF or image for your client.

Why use this tool

• Creates a visual programme that clients can understand without construction experience.
• Dependencies automatically adjust downstream dates when earlier tasks slip.
• Export as PDF or image for including in tenders, contracts, and client updates.

A project programme (or Gantt chart) is one of the most effective communication tools in construction. It shows the client what will happen when, helps subcontractors plan their availability, and gives the site manager a framework for monitoring progress. Even on small domestic projects, a simple timeline can prevent the chaos of trades arriving in the wrong order. This tool lets you build a visual programme with task dependencies, so if one task overruns, you can immediately see the impact on everything that follows. Share it with your client at the start of the project and update it as work progresses.
