The images seen below are each a partial representation of a much larger Gantt Chart which reflects the timeline of the building project. It is also known as a "critical path" chart because is shows which elements are essential to be completed before others can be started. For example, in new construction, foundation work must be substantially complete before framing can begin.

Seeing a project from this perspective helps everyone involved in a project understand schedules and production deadlines. The result is better communication between clients, contractors and subcontractors
