If you run a job site, the two-week look-ahead is the schedule that actually gets used. The master schedule lives in the trailer; the look-ahead lives in everyone’s hands. This Excel template gives you a rolling two-week window that keeps crews, subcontractors, and deliveries pointed at the same dates.

Why superintendents use a rolling look-ahead

Master schedules drift. Weather, inspections, and late deliveries move the real sequence of work every week. A two-week look-ahead pulls the next fourteen days out of the noise and forces the conversation that matters in every coordination meeting: what is actually happening, who is doing it, and what has to show up on site first.

What’s inside the template

• A rolling 14-day grid you update in minutes — shift the start date and the calendar re-draws
• Rows for each crew, trade, or subcontractor with activity descriptions
• Space for deliveries, inspections, and constraints so blockers surface before they cost a day
• A print-ready layout sized for the site trailer wall

How to use it

1. Set the week-one start date — the two-week window builds itself.
2. Pull the next fourteen days of activities from your master schedule.
3. Review it in your weekly coordination meeting and mark constraints.
4. Roll it forward each week — last week’s plan becomes this week’s record.
