Scheduling Painters/constr Software-Cheap


Looking for a decent, easy-to-use scheduling software. My excel sheet was fine for the 8 guys I had, it is not working for the total 18 painters.

Help a girl out?

What you are looking for is project management software. I am sure you can search for something on the net to fit your needs... free even.

Re: Scheduling Painters/constr Software-Cheap


Thanks for replying.
I found another solution after hunting on the web for hours. Management software is thousands of dollars, thats a no-go.

Heres the cheap solution:

You have to have excel 2003. Upgrade is only $100.
Microsoft has a free templates site. Search under "scheduling" and there are 4 great templates that will work perfectly for scheduling painters, especially since some are on more than one job in a day. The best one I liked, with very little modification was the one for nurses. It works perfect and the download was FREE! and it took no time at all.

Hope I can help someone else.
