Automated Drywall Crew Phase Scheduling
When you mark a drywall bid awarded in The EDGE, WebRun reads the estimated labor hours by phase, splits the job into hang, tape, and finish, drafts crew blocks on Google Calendar for your review, and posts the phase plan to Microsoft Teams so the schedule is ready to confirm.
How do I schedule drywall crews by phase from a won bid?
When you mark a drywall bid awarded in The EDGE, WebRun reads the Smart Labor hours by phase, splits the job into hang, tape, and finish, and drafts sequenced crew blocks on Google Calendar. It posts the phase plan to Microsoft Teams for the scheduler to confirm, so no invite reaches a crew before you approve the dates.
- A phased crew schedule is drafted the day you win the job
- Hang, tape, and finish are sequenced from the actual labor estimate
- No crew invite goes out before the scheduler confirms the dates
Built for drywall contractors · project managers · field schedulers · wall and ceiling subcontractors

Questions, answered
Does it send calendar invites to my crew automatically?
No. WebRun drafts the phase blocks on your calendar and posts the plan to Teams for the scheduler to confirm. It does not invite crew members on its own, so you finalize dates and assignments before anyone is notified.
How does it split the job into phases?
It reads the Smart Labor hours in The EDGE, which already break the work into hang, tape, and finish, and sizes each calendar block to the estimated duration for that phase and crew size.
What if the phases collide with another job?
It checks your calendar for overlap and flags any phase that clashes with an active job in the Teams post, so the scheduler can shift dates or crews before confirming the plan.
