Three trades. One bathroom. Who is there this week?

A renovation project schedule helps you review the timing of work in the same space. In this Ordine walkthrough, appointments have a start date and duration, Schedule shows timeline bars, and Deadlines lists dated tasks nearest first.

See the week before discussing it with the trades

The plumber and tiler arrive at the same bathroom on the same Monday. The opening scene illustrates the coordination problem behind this walkthrough: several people need to work in a shared space, and somebody needs a clear view of the week.

Ordine's application sequence starts with appointment details and then opens two project views. The timeline shows work across days; the deadline list presents dated tasks in order. Together, they give you two ways to read the timing recorded in the project.

Build a renovation project schedule from dates and durations

An appointment has a name, a start date and a number of days. The demonstration enters trade appointments such as “Plumber — first fix” and “Tiler — walls.”

Those details describe the planned work in a form the schedule can display. A name identifies the appointment, the start date places it on the calendar, and the duration determines how far its bar extends across the timeline.

This makes the record specific enough to review with the people involved. You can refer to the named appointment and its planned days when discussing who needs the room and when.

Read overlapping work as bars on a timeline

Open “Schedule” to see the project laid out as bars. The plumber, tiler and electrician appear in the same timeline, making overlapping days visible.

The useful question is practical: which recorded activities occupy the same part of the week? Looking across the bars lets you identify that overlap before discussing the sequence with the trades. The display brings the entered timing together so you can assess it in context.

An overlap is something to review. Whether two activities can share a day depends on the work and the people involved; the schedule gives you the dates to use in that conversation.

Switch to the nearest dated tasks

Sometimes you want to read dates as a list. “Deadlines” shows dated tasks with the nearest first. The walkthrough switches from the timeline to that ordered view.

This is a different way to approach the same project record. The schedule helps you read work across a span of days, while the list lets you review individual dated tasks in sequence. Choose the view that suits the question you are checking.

Keep the next coordination conversation concrete

Watch how the appointment's start and duration become a visible bar, then compare that with the deadline list. The demonstration stays focused on the entered information: names, dates, durations and the resulting project views.

For a studio coordinating renovation work, that gives the next conversation a clear reference. Review the planned week, identify the overlapping appointments and use the recorded dates when agreeing the work sequence.

Ordine does not automatically resolve scheduling conflicts or send reminders.
