How to handle GC schedule changes

GC schedule changes should move your phases, then your shop queue, finish calendar, and shipping lists. Spectr is built so those updates sync when site dates shift — instead of a PM spending Thursday rewriting Excel.

Key facts

  • You are last trade. Their slip becomes your overtime unless you re-plan.
  • A date change that does not hit the CNC queue is a memo, not a plan.
  • Field crews need the new sequence in the same app they scan.
  • Overtime and split shipments should show on the job that said yes.

How shops handle this

  1. Update the phase date first
    One source.
  2. Check finish and long-lead
    Anodize does not care about the GC’s optimism.
  3. Re-rank production and crates
    Stop packing last week’s elevation if it cannot go up.
  4. Tell the field the new order
    Same system, not a new thread.

Common questions

What if they pull a zone forward?

Same motion. Working ahead without a date change is how you bury a truck behind a locked hoist.

Should we just say no?

Commercially maybe. Operationally you still need the system to show the cost of yes.
