A foreman’s framing job slipped two days. Follow it from his phone in the truck, into the GC’s inbox, through a cascade preview, all the way to the new dates landing on every sub’s schedule.
The GC builds the master schedule in Relay. Each activity has an assigned sub, a start and end date, and a status. Everyone with access sees the same picture — no more 'I thought you said next Wednesday.'
Framing is in progress — that’s the activity our story follows. Lumber delivery just slipped two days at the supplier. The foreman finds out at 9:38 AM.
Subs and foremen don’t install an app. They don’t even have a password. They get an email link, see only their own activity, and have exactly two buttons: mark complete, or request a schedule change.
Marcus tapped “Request schedule change” at 9:38 AM and proposed a +2-day shift. The request fires off to the GC’s inbox in real time.
No more searching through group texts to figure out who said what. Every schedule change request, every completion confirmation — all queued in the GC’s inbox with full context.
The GC sees Marcus’s request at the top of the inbox. Clicking “Approve & cascade” opens a preview of what will actually happen to the rest of the schedule.
A 2-day push to Framing doesn’t just move one bar — it shifts four downstream activities. The cascade preview shows exactly what will change, who’s affected, and gives you three options: cascade everything, approve without cascading, or revert.
The GC clicks Cascade. All 4 affected subs get an email with their new dates. The schedule updates in real time on every device. Every action is logged.
From the moment Marcus tapped 'Request schedule change' to the moment four subs got their new dates, less than a minute elapsed. Every step is on the record — who did what, when, and why.
Eleven event types are tracked. Click any activity to see its full history. No more “who said what” — it’s all here.
