The problem

Your Programme Shouldn't Live in a Spreadsheet

You start every project with a neat schedule. Then the groundworks overrun. The windows are delayed. Suddenly your carefully crafted programme is fiction, and you're manually shifting cells in Excel while the client asks for an updated timeline. Construction programmes need to flex. Spreadsheets don't.

The answer

Liquid Time: Scheduling That Flows

DesBu's scheduling engine—we call it Liquid Time—is built for how construction actually works.

01

Visual Gantt Timeline

See your entire project on one screen. Phases, tasks, and milestones laid out clearly by week. Instantly understand what's happening when.

02

Drag-and-Drop Adjustments

When the plasterer can't start until Thursday, just drag the task. Dependent tasks auto-shift. No manual recalculation.

03

Dependencies

Link tasks together so you always know what's blocking what.

04

Milestone Tracking

Set key milestones—practical completion, client walkthroughs, handover. Track progress against what actually matters.

05

Plan From the Survey

Link a Delineo survey and the planned works, added services and notes shape the task list. Each service change becomes its own task, and durations follow the amount of work to be done.

06

Share the Plan

Download the schedule to your calendar as a file. Each contractor sees their own jobs in their diary and can add them to theirs.

The whole workflow

Eight stages, from first enquiry to final handover, each feeding the next.

Sales pipeline

A visual pipeline from enquiry to signed contract. Start an estimate straight from a lead.

Estimating from the survey

Choose the finish for every floor, ceiling, wall, door and window, and add electrics, heating, plumbing and other works. Nothing is priced until you choose it.

Quotes clients sign

Turn an estimate into a numbered quote with your logo and company details. Clients approve with a signature, ask for changes or decline.

Client portal

Clients see progress, photos, quotes to approve and payment schedules in their own portal, with a bell for anything waiting on them.

Contractor portal

A private link for each subcontractor, or a free contractor account. Their jobs, diary, site check-in and health and safety documents on any phone.

Messages and notifications

A private team chat, one-to-one chat with each contractor, and project chats with clients and contractors.

Health and safety

Digital RAMS, site inductions, toolbox talks and incident reporting, with a health and safety pack generated from the job.

Financial reporting

Budget against actual, payment schedules, invoices with your company details, and analytics down to subcontractor days and spend.
