How scheduling conflicts work

See overlapping tasks and avoid double booking people across projects so you can plan ahead smarter.

The Scheduling module in BuildPass shows overlapping tasks across projects when you assign someone to a task. This helps you spot overlapping bookings and manage your resources more effectively - including outside of the current schedule.
​

This works for all assignee types: BuildPass admins, companies or subcontractors, and workers or crew.

How it works

When you select a subcontractor while scheduling:

  • Subcontractors with conflicts are marked with clear visual indicators

  • If you choose a subcontractor with a conflict, detailed information about the conflict appears

  • You can quickly see which subcontractors are already booked for the same timeframe

This helps you:

  • Avoid double-booking subcontractors

  • Allocate resources more efficiently

  • Save time by spotting scheduling clashes in advance

  • Maximise subcontractor availability across all projects

When you'll see conflict details

You'll see conflict details automatically when:

  • Creating new tasks in the Scheduling module

  • Selecting subcontractors from the dropdown

  • Editing existing tasks

Keep in mind, BuildPass won't stop you from scheduling overlapping tasks β€” use this information to make the best decision for your project.
