Construction planning software for project management

Construction field management requires planning tools

Outbuild is simple for superintendents and trade partners to learn and use. With a fully-functional iPad app built for the jobsite, it’s easy for the field to update plans, flag issues, and stay aligned without extra effort.

Lookahead module for detailed, short-term plans

The Lookahead module gives your team a clear view of short and mid-term plans. Break down the master schedule into detailed tasks, assign responsibilities, and spot issues early. It keeps daily work aligned with long-term goals, improving workflow and accountability across the project.

From sticky notes to digital pull planning

Superintendents can pull activities from the master schedule into the field-friendly planning module, where they can collaborate with trade partners to start breaking the work down into smaller tasks, assigning tasks, and flagging potential constraints.
