Overview
Clients and sponsors want the end date and the next milestone, not a 40-line chart. This deck shows the timeline, the trades by quarter, the critical path with its float, the risks that could move it and the dates the client can hold you to.
The sample follows Larkspur Works building the Harbor Street Clinic from February 1 to November 12, 2027, a 41-week job whose critical path runs 29 weeks, or 71% of the duration. Replace the project, dates, trades, float and owners with your own, and mark which dates are fixed.
Useful for
- A contractor walking a client through the build sequence at the monthly progress meeting
- A project manager explaining why a supplier delay moves the finish date day for day
- A bid presentation that shows trades, float and fixed dates before the contract is signed
What's included
- Cover and a five-point timeline with fixed dates and the share already done
- A quarterly trade roadmap with a marker for today and a note on critical tasks and float
- Four critical path cards with durations and the supplier or inspection that gates each one
- A float slide that separates critical, near-critical and flexible work
- Risk bullets with the assumptions behind the dates, plus a key-dates slide with owners
- Next-dates cards, a guide slide and a closing slide with site contacts

Questions
Is this construction schedule template free?
Yes. It is a free Google Slides template. Make a copy to your own Google Drive and edit the dates, trades and cards for your own project.
Which tasks belong on the critical path?
Only tasks with zero float: if one slips a day, the finish date slips a day. Keep the list to four to seven tasks and show float for everything else.
Are Larkspur Works and the dates real?
No. Larkspur Works, the Harbor Street Clinic, the people, dates and figures are fictional sample content. Replace them with your own before sharing.
