Scheduling

Schedule project costs and revenue across a drag-and-drop timeline. Completing Scheduling unlocks the full Financial Reporting Suite.

FeaslyPro Access Only

The Scheduling drag and drop section defines the timing, span, and distribution method for all project costs and revenue. Funding and drawdown schedules are calculated automatically.

Once Scheduling is complete, the full Financial Reporting Suite unlocks. Any change to the schedule automatically updates all reports in real time.


Timeline Settings

Click the gear icon to set the project start date and length. The project length is preset from your scenario settings will auto update.


Two Views: Gantt Chart/ Table

All amounts are GST Exclusive. Feasly auto-applies a number of settings based on calculation logic. Hover over locked items to check their status.

Gantt Chart

Drag-and-drop to set the timing of each phase and category.

  • Click the screen expander icon for full screen view.

  • Click phases to expand or collapse.

  • Moving a phase or top level category moves all line items with it.

  • Amounts are visible on each bar.

Table View

Displays all line items with three editable columns:

  • Start Date: the date the line item begins.

  • Span: the number of months the line item spans.

  • Distribution: how the amount is spread across the span.


Distribution Methods

  • Linear: amount distributed evenly across the span.

  • S-Curve: commonly used for construction costs and bulk sum estimates. The more detailed your feasibility inputs, the less reliance is needed on S-Curve distribution.

S-Curve Method Implemented

Feasly's S-curve is based on a logistic (sigmoid) function, the standard mathematical curve for modelling spend that starts slow, accelerates through the middle, then slows again toward completion. Here is how the total amount is spread across the period:

  1. The curve.We use a logistic cumulative distribution function (CDF), which traces the familiar "S" shape from 0% to 100% of cumulative spend over the period.

  2. Per-period share.For each month, its share of the total is the slice of the curve covered by that month, in other words the increase in cumulative spend from the start of the month to the end of it. Months near the middle of the period cover the steepest part of the curve, so they take the largest share. Months at the start and end cover the flatter tails, so they take the smallest.

  3. Steepness.The curve uses a fixed steepness setting that produces a moderate, symmetric ramp. The early build-up and the late wind-down mirror each other, with the peak in the middle of the period. This setting is the same for every project and cost, so results stay consistent and comparable, and it cannot be adjusted.

  4. Reconciliation.Each month's amount is rounded, and any small rounding difference is absorbed into the final month so the monthly amounts always add back to the exact total you entered.

The result is a smooth, bell-shaped monthly spend profile: low at the start, highest in the middle, tapering at the end. This is why the S-curve is the default for construction costs, where spend genuinely behaves this way. Acquisition and sales costs always use linear (even) distribution instead.


Seven Phases

Scheduling is structured around seven fixed phases. Each phase contains the relevant cost and revenue categories from your inputs.

Phase

Includes

Acquisition

Land, Acquisition Costs

Planning & Consultants

Professional & Consultant Fees

Construction & Works

Construction, Contingency

Fees & Levies

Infrastructure & Authority Fees

Sales & Settlements

Development Sales, Sales Costs (Settlement), Sales Costs (Other)

Marketing

Marketing Costs

Land Holding

Land Holding Costs, Rental Income, Rental Costs

Once Scheduling is complete all the reports are automated.
