Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    New project initiated

    A new construction project is created in Procore with basic project details, timeline, and scope. This triggers the automated scheduling and resource allocation workflow.

    Procore
  2. 2
    Action

    Extract project requirements

    System pulls project specifications, estimated duration, required trades, and material needs from the project data. Identifies critical path activities and dependencies.

    Procore
  3. 3
    Action

    Check resource availability

    Queries current resource allocation across all active projects to determine availability of crews, equipment, and subcontractors. Identifies potential conflicts or shortages.

  4. 4
    Decision

    Evaluate resource conflicts

    Determines if sufficient resources are available for optimal scheduling. If conflicts exist, workflow branches to either adjust timeline or reallocate resources from other projects.
