JLCP Dependency Flowcharts
Visual diagrams showing how tasks flow and depend on each other.
Legend
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Independent task (can start immediately) |
| 🟡 Yellow | Dependent task (waiting on predecessor) |
| 🔵 Blue | Automation task (runs automatically) |
| 🟣 Purple | Cross-stage dependency |
| 🟠 Orange | Recurring task |
Pre-Construction Dependencies
This is the most complex stage with 44 tasks and multiple dependency chains.
Contract & Setup Flow
Vendor & Submittal Flow
Mobilization Dependencies
Safety & Compliance Dependencies
Note: As of April 2026, Safety tasks 56 (Compose Safety Forms), 58 (Submit SSSP to GC), and 59 (Upload Safety Deliverables) now depend on Task 3 (Intro Meeting) rather than Task 51 (Set-up Initial Mobilization). This lets safety prep start earlier in the lifecycle, right after the initial intro meeting.
Construction Dependencies
All 19 Construction tasks are Recurring — independent of one another, and all regenerate on a weekly cadence while the Construction stage is active. They group into three domains:
Note: Change Order Requests are tracked in the AppSheet Purchase Ordering app, not in Podio. The Podio tasks above cover the recurring administrative tracking only.
Key Dependency Chains
1. Contract Chain (Critical Path)
LOI → Job Info Template → Review → Negotiate → Sign Contract → Insurance + Bond → QuickBooks
Owner: Sales → PM → ACC → PM+ACC → PM+Owner → ACC
2. Submittal Chain
Select Vendors → Signed Quotes → Material List → Pull Submittals → Send to GC → Approval → Precon Meeting
Owner: PM → APM → APM → APM → PM
3. Safety Chain (Updated Apr 2026)
Intro Meeting → Compose Safety Forms / SSSP / Safety Deliverables
Owner: EST+Sales+FOCS+PM → SC
Previously these safety tasks waited for Mobilization's "Set-up Initial Job Mobilization" (Task 51). Now they start immediately after the initial intro meeting (Task 3), allowing safety prep to run in parallel with contract/vendor setup.
4. 811 Locate Chain (Recurring)
Initial 811 Locate → [Then recurring every 2 weeks until job complete]
Owner: SC. The "Request 811 Line Locate Remarks" task (Safety #1) is now Recurring on a 2-week cadence, triggered starting the date Task #56 (Compose Safety Forms) is completed.
