Overview
Dirt Face includes fence crew scheduling so sold jobs move onto a shared calendar. This guide explains the high-level scheduling workflow for contractors who want dispatch and estimating in one system.
What you will get
- Jobs on a calendar instead of text threads
- Clear crew assignments
- Less confusion between sales promises and field reality
Step 1: Convert the won estimate to a job
Scheduling works best when the work already exists as a job with scope and site details from the estimate.
Step 2: Place the job on the schedule
Choose install dates that match crew capacity, material readiness, and customer expectations. Dirt Face keeps that plan visible to the office team.
Step 3: Assign crews
Assign the people (or crews) responsible for the work. Field access is tied to assignments so workers see what they need, not every job in the company.
Step 4: Update as the week changes
Weather, material delays, and change orders happen. Update the schedule in Dirt Face so everyone is looking at the same plan instead of outdated group texts.
FAQ
Can Dirt Face replace a separate scheduling app?
Many fence companies use Dirt Face scheduling as their operational calendar because it is already connected to estimates and jobs. Others keep a specialty dispatch tool; Dirt Face still helps by owning the sold-job source of truth.
Does scheduling require the full lifecycle?
No, but it is most useful after you are creating jobs from estimates. Quoting-only teams can adopt scheduling later.
