Seamless Scheduling Revolution: ETRO Construction's Journey with Outbuild.
In the bustling world of construction, the need for seamless coordination and timely project completion is more critical than ever. For Karina Delcourt, Strategic Initiatives Manager at Vancouver's pioneering general contractor, ETRO Construction Ltd., the challenge was clear. The existing scheduling frameworks were cumbersome, requiring extensive manual updating while lacking integration between master schedules and lookahead plans. This dual documentation led to inefficiencies and a lack of alignment across project teams.
A New Era of Efficiency Begins
Ready for change and armed with a vision to streamline operations, Karina turned to Outbuild—a sophisticated yet user-friendly software designed to marry scheduling with field coordination seamlessly. What transpired was nothing short of transformational.
With Outbuild, ETRO Construction shattered previous roadblocks of misalignment.
The platform's ability to effortlessly generate lookahead schedules straight from the master schedule meant that real-time updates became second nature for everyone involved—from seasoned superintendents to new team members. The difference was palpable; proactive scheduling became a reality rather than a distant aspiration.
Empowered Teams, Faster Schedules
Moreover, training and support from Outbuild were top-tier—Karina praised their comprehensive documentation and resources that empowered teams to make full use of the tool's potential effectively. While navigating change can be daunting, Outbuild made it a breeze with substantial savings in time—particularly as pursuit schedules now took half as long to prepare.
From Fragmented to Future-Ready
ETRO Construction has experienced an era defined by transparency over chaos—a period driven by collaboration rather than reactivity—all thanks to embracing innovation through Outbuild’s cutting-edge abilities in shaping future-ready construction projects confidently.
Outbuild has provided a very generous pilot period for us as we determine how we want to schedule and transition our templates. Every project manager and project coordinator I have spoken to finds the tool far easier to use than legacy systems and appreciates the training and support they have received.
