Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)

What is an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)?

It’s the one big, master schedule that combines everyone’s individual plans—Client, Consultants, Contractors, Sub-Contractors, Vendors, Suppliers etc.—into a single, unified timeline for the entire project.

Who needs something this complex?

It’s essential for large, complex projects. It’s the main tool the head builder uses to see how all the different trades interact and depend on each other, ensuring the whole project runs smoothly without trades clashing on site.
