Coordinating a remodeling project is mostly a scheduling problem. Tile on Tuesday, drywall finish before cabinets, electrician back for the rough inspection, countertop template three days after cabinets are set. MY LAURA's calendar was built for this kind of choreography — Gantt, calendar, and list views, drag-and-drop rescheduling, multi-trade appointments, and iCal feeds that keep every trade partner in sync automatically.
Gantt for planning the whole project. Calendar for working the week. List for grab-and-go reference.
Drag an appointment to a new day. MY LAURA updates it, notifies the assigned trade partners, and pushes to every subscribed calendar.
Your team, your clients, and every trade partner can subscribe to their own feed. Their phone calendar updates automatically.
The view you live in during active construction. Week or month layout, colored by project, filterable by trade partner or team member. Click any empty spot to create a new appointment. Drag existing appointments to reschedule. Click-and-drag to create an appointment spanning multiple hours.
The view you use when planning a project. Each appointment shows as a bar across the days it covers. Overlapping bars show you trade partner conflicts. Dependencies (like "tile can't start until drywall is done") are visible at a glance. This is the view the Auto-Scheduler produces when it builds a project timeline from an estimate.
A sortable table of every appointment — date, time, duration, project, trade partner, scope. Useful for printing, exporting to Excel, or quickly scanning "what's happening this week." Also the view that works best on a phone when you're standing on a job site needing a quick answer.
Remodeling mostly doesn't happen on weekends. The Hide Weekends toggle removes Saturday and Sunday from the calendar view so the week feels five days wide instead of seven. Small feature, big quality-of-life improvement.
Most scheduling tools assume one appointment equals one person. Remodeling doesn't work that way. On a given day, you might have the cabinet installer, the electrician for last-mile connections, and the countertop measurer all supposed to be on site in overlapping hours.
MY LAURA lets a single appointment have multiple trade partners assigned. Each one gets their own SMS notification when the appointment is created or rescheduled. Everyone on the appointment sees the same scope note, so if you need to keep trade-specific instructions private, the cleaner pattern is to create separate appointments per trade on the same day. You schedule the day once; the software fans the notifications out to everyone who needs to be there.
Sometimes a trade partner doesn't see the original notification. Click the resend icon on the appointment card and MY LAURA sends a fresh SMS to everyone listed on that appointment with the time, address, and scope notes. One click, everyone re-notified.
Every appointment has its own scope note — the specific instructions for that day's work. Everyone listed on the appointment sees the same note, so write it for the group: "Tile: backsplash, grey grout. Cabinets: three upper units, west wall. Countertop: template measurement." If you need to keep per-trade instructions separate, split into multiple appointments on the same day.
MY LAURA doesn't connect to Google or Outlook with a two-way OAuth sync — that path is fragile and it lets changes in a personal calendar quietly overwrite your source of truth. Instead, every role, team member, trade partner, and client gets a unique iCal feed URL. Subscribe once from any calendar app that speaks iCal (Apple Calendar, Google, Outlook, Fantastical — all of them), and the feed updates automatically whenever the schedule changes in MY LAURA. It's one-way by design: your MY LAURA schedule is the single source of truth, and every subscribed calendar mirrors it.
Your team, your clients, and every trade partner can subscribe to their own iCal feed — one feed per role, one feed per trade partner, one feed per client project. Once they subscribe (one tap on their phone), their calendar updates automatically whenever you make changes in MY LAURA. No app to download, no password to create, no training.
This is the core of the Trade Partner Portal — subscribable feeds instead of group texts. It's the feature that changes how remodeling teams coordinate.
