See the shortage before it costs you overtime.

Put labor demand next to the crew you’ve scheduled, week by week, and read the gap strip — surplus, tight, or short. The overtime crunch and the hiring need show up two weeks out, not the morning of.

Projection view with a manpower-gap strip — surplus, tight, and short weeks across the job.

The problem

By the time the GC asks, the overtime’s already spent.

If you can’t answer “where will we be short” two weeks out, you pay overtime you saw coming — or scramble for bodies you should have hired. The week grid alone doesn’t surface it.

Projection + gap strip

Demand vs. scheduled crew, with the gap called out.

The projection view lays demand over the crew you’ve actually scheduled and color-codes the difference each week: surplus, tight, or short. The strip is the answer to the question the GC’s about to ask.

The NET supply-vs-demand strip — red short weeks through covered weeks, over per-project crew rows.

Built next door

Model the job by activity — not crew rows.

You lay the job out by phases and activities — foundations, slab-on-grade, finish, walls — on the Project Schedule page, with milestones pinned to a phase’s start or finish. Projection shows those schedules read-only, so the forecast follows the way the work sequences.

Multi-building linking

Link buildings into one continuous schedule.

Link the buildings of one job so they share one continuous calendar here and on the 11×17 you hand the GC — not a stack of disconnected charts.

Crew-gap export

Take the gap to the meeting.

Export the crew-gap view to Excel for the staffing conversation, the GC update, or the hire-or-overtime decision — backed by numbers, not gut.

Manpower projection — common questions

What is manpower gap analysis?

It puts labor demand next to the crew you have scheduled, week by week, and shows the difference — surplus, tight, or short — so an overtime crunch or a hiring need is visible before it lands.

Can I model the job by phase?

Yes. You lay the job out on the Project Schedule page — activities and phases like foundations, slab-on-grade, finish and walls, with milestones pinned to a phase start or finish — and it appears on the Projection board automatically, counting toward your crew gap.

Can I link multiple buildings on one job?

Yes. Link the buildings of a single job so they share one continuous calendar on the projection and on the 11×17 you print for the GC, instead of disconnected pieces.

Catch the shortage two weeks early.

Lay demand over your scheduled crew and read the gap before it costs you overtime.
