Why jobs slip
A schedule never slips all at once. It leaks.
By the time a job "feels late", the delay is already weeks deep. GroundUp watches the leaks in real time — so every lost day has a cause your team can act on.
RFI bottlenecks
Critical
Unanswered RFIs quietly hold up rough-in and inspections — the single most common driver of field delay.
Schedule drift
High
Crews ramping slower than planned and out-of-sequence trades push the critical path a day at a time.
Budget creep
Medium
Change orders and division overruns that only surface at month-end, long after the money's committed.
Field-to-office gap
High
Daily logs, weather days and delivery slips that live in a superintendent's notebook, not the schedule.
One job, fully attributed
When Cedar Ridge went 11 days behind, GroundUp didn't just flag it — it decomposed exactly where the days went, so recovery targets the real cause.

- RFI response delays 42%

From field to forecast
Track it. Flag it. Recover it.
GroundUp closes the loop from what happened on site this morning to the schedule and budget forecast tonight — with the recovery plan already drafted.
Flag
The moment the critical path slips or a division runs hot, the job surfaces to the top — with the days and dollars quantified.
Recover
A sequenced recovery plan lands with crew moves, resequencing and re-baselines — the exact steps to pull the date back.
Inside the product
The portfolio board and the job file, side by side.
BuildspaceLabs built the MVP front end: a Project Command board for the whole book, and a per-project file for the PM running the recovery.
Project Command
Read the whole book in one glance.
A schedule gantt for the driving job sits above active-project KPIs and a worst-first table — so the jobs that need a call are always on top.
- Phase gantt with % complete and a live today line
- Ahead / on-track / behind pills across every job
- RFI aging and budget-by-division on one rail
Project file
Everything a PM needs on one job file.
A milestone gantt with baseline-vs-forecast, budget-vs-actual by division, open RFIs by age and today's daily log — capped by a critical-path recovery plan.
- Milestone gantt showing an 11-day slip against baseline
- Budget-vs-committed bars per CSI division
- An 88%-confidence recovery plan, sequenced
What's in the box
Built for how a GC actually runs a job.
Schedule, RFIs, submittals, budget and the field log consolidated into one command centre — nothing stranded in a spreadsheet or a text thread.
Schedule gantt
Phase and milestone gantts with % complete, a live today line and baseline-vs-forecast on every job.
RFI & submittal tracking
Every RFI and submittal by age, ball-in-court and schedule impact — so nothing quietly goes overdue.
Budget vs. actual
Committed cost against the GMP budget by CSI division, with variance flagged the day it moves.
Critical-path recovery
When a job slips, a sequenced recovery plan with crew moves and re-baselines, and the days it buys back.
Daily field log
Weather, crew counts, deliveries and progress photos logged from site and tied straight to the schedule.
Portfolio command
One board across every active job — KPIs, schedule status and budget variance for the whole book at a glance.
Built for the field, not just the office
A schedule the superintendent will actually keep current.
Reporting nobody updates is worthless. GroundUp pulls the schedule, the budget and the field log into one surface — so the forecast reflects what really happened on site today.
- Every slip decomposes into named, day-weighted causes.
- Recovery plans ship with the days they buy back, not vague advice.
- Real-time schedule and budget exposure across all 8 active jobs.
