In construction, what you can’t see can cost you. Delays creep in, risks pile up, and executives often find out too late that projects are slipping. That’s why we’re building the Executive Dashboard, the centerpiece of our new Outbuild Pro package (coming soon).
With the Executive Dashboard, construction leaders finally get a real-time view of portfolio-wide schedule health risk and performance across all projects — including easy ways to assess the performance of both internal team members and trade partners. It’s the visibility executives need to lead with foresight instead of reacting after the fact.
Project-level clarity has always been a part of Outbuild. But operations and executive leadership need a broader view:
- Which projects are at risk, and why?
- Where should we focus time and resources?
- How can we protect margins and deliver predictable outcomes?
The Executive Dashboard answers these questions by turning the live field and schedule data already in Outbuild into the metrics executives care about most.
High-level portfolio Insights
- Total active projects and projects starting within 60 days — so leaders can spot capacity crunches.
- Total number of active clients — to help manage relationships and prioritize strategic accounts.
- Average Percent Plan Complete (PPC) — a simple but powerful gauge of overall reliability across teams.
Project-by-project clarity
The Project Summary List gives executives visibility into every active project at a glance, including:
- Target completion date and schedule variance.
- PPC and progress.
- Schedule Impact Requests (SIRs).
- Roadblock anticipation (how early issues are flagged) and PRR (percent roadblocks removed).
- An Outbuild Score, our proprietary health indicator combining these metrics into a single, actionable measure.
This makes it easy to quickly spot the projects that need immediate attention.
Team performance metrics
See how individuals and roles are performing across the portfolio:
- Average PPC, variance, and roadblock anticipation.
- Percent of projects delivered on time.
- Last session with Outbuild (to gauge adoption).
- Outbuild Score by person.
With this view, leaders can recognize top performers and identify where teams may need more support or coaching.
Trade partner performance
Your projects are only as strong as your partners. The Executive Dashboard now brings subcontractor performance into clear focus, giving executives the same visibility they have with internal teams.
For each partner, you’ll see:
- Average Percent Plan Complete (PPC) — track reliability over time.
- Schedule Impact Requests (SIRs) — how often changes are being requested and approved.
- Primary variance type — understand the most common causes of slippage with that partner.
- Active users — gauge whether subcontractors are fully engaged with Outbuild.
- Roadblock anticipation — how far ahead subs are flagging issues.
- Active projects — the breadth of their current workload.
With this view, executives can identify strong-performing partners, address weak links, and build accountability across the supply chain.
Risk & issue tracking
Construction leaders can’t wait for surprises. That’s why the dashboard also highlights:
- Schedule Impact Requests (SIRs) — so leadership can easily review pending schedule changes.
- Top overdue roadblocks — so executives know which issues need escalation now.
- Roadblock types and reasons for variance — so leadership can see systemic patterns and tackle root causes.
Together, these views help executives move from firefighting to strategic risk management.
Unlike static reports or disconnected scheduling tools, Outbuild connects field activity directly into the executive view. That means:
- Live, field-first data flows from superintendents’ iPads into leadership dashboards — no manual reporting.
- Automatic aggregation into the health metrics executives need.
- Proprietary scoring that simplifies complexity into actionable insights.
This is how the upcoming Outbuild Pro package moves beyond project management to portfolio-level performance management.
With Outbuild Pro, leaders gain portfolio-level performance management — across projects, teams, and trade partners — so they can spot risks early, reinforce accountability, and protect margins. No more silos. No more surprises. Just one connected source of truth that unites the entire project ecosystem.
The Executive Dashboard will soon be available as part of the upcoming Outbuild Pro package.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s built for construction executives, operations leaders, and anyone managing multiple projects who needs portfolio-level clarity, not just project-level updates.
Traditional project-based reports are static, and require manual work to aggregate into a single, portfolio-level view — so they’re often outdated by the time they reach leadership. The Executive Dashboard pulls live data directly from all Outbuild projects into a single view, so leaders see what’s really happening in real time.
Yes. Any Outbuild user with Admin or Superadmin permissions can access the Executive Dashboard — and it can be filtered by PM, Superintendent, etc. for a customized view.
It will launch soon as part of the new Outbuild Pro package. You can join the waitlist today to be the first to know when it’s released.
