How does calendar management work for construction?
Your calendar assistant maintains the company calendar and each project manager's in your hours. Every bid gets a reverse timeline: invitations out, coverage checked by trade, quotes due internally, bid tab assembled and the package delivered with time to spare. Every permit carries an expiry reminder well before the date. Contract milestones are entered the day the contract is executed with the reminder ladder you set. Travel between jobs is blocked realistically rather than optimistically, because a project manager with four sites cannot make four back-to-back meetings. Each evening the assistant sends tomorrow's schedule by person with addresses, gate codes, site contacts and the documents each meeting needs.
