CPM Software That Connects Field and Office

The smarter way to plan and schedule

Unlike complex legacy CPM software, Outbuild connects field and office teams in one collaborative system, integrates the field plans with the master schedule, and enables real-time roadblock and progress tracking plus robust schedule analytics, keeping your projects on track and preventing costly delays.

Real-time visibility for everyone

Traditional CPM schedules are static, but projects aren’t. Outbuild ensures the field team always has the current schedule.

Plus, Outbuild keeps schedule changes, roadblocks, and progress updates flowing directly from the field, so PMs and schedulers are always in the loop and can take action to help protect the critical path.

Integrated Lookahead planning

Legacy CPM schedules live in a silo, disconnected from the realities of what’s happening in the field. Outbuild connects lookahead planning with the master schedule, giving superintendents and field teams the ability to instantly flag potential delays and changes.

“The ability to couple roadblocks with our use of Procore, tie submittals, tie RFIs to tasks within the schedule that are linked together, so in that way we can truly run our project through the schedule itself. It’s different than we’ve done in the past and I think is the right approach.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Outbuild critical path software?

Outbuild is modern, cloud-based CPM scheduling built for construction teams. It highlights the activities that drive the finish date and keeps field and office teams working from the same live schedule in one cloud system.

How does Outbuild identify the critical path?

Outbuild runs CPM logic across your activity durations and dependencies, then highlights the critical path so teams can focus on the tasks controlling project completion.

How is this different from legacy CPM tools?

Legacy CPM tools often live with one scheduler and a static file. Outbuild keeps the schedule shared and current, connects field lookaheads to the master schedule, and supports real-time progress and roadblock tracking so teams protect the critical path daily.

How do field updates help protect the critical path?

Outbuild keeps the field working from the current schedule and pushes progress and roadblocks into the same system. PMs and Schedulers see changes fast and can act before small slips become critical path delays.

Can I connect Lookahead planning to the critical path?

Yes. Outbuild connects Lookahead planning with the Master Schedule so superintendents can flag delays early and keep near-term commitments aligned to the activities that drive the finish date.

How do we handle schedule changes tied to critical path work?

Outbuild supports Schedule Impact Requests (SIR) so teams document schedule impacts, route them for approval, and keep an audit trail of what changed, why, when, and who approved it.
