From Silos to Synergy: How Taurus Builders Elevated Scheduling with Outbuild

In the high-pressure world of high-end tenant finish projects, Taurus Builders had built a reputation for delivering quality. But beneath the surface, familiar challenges kept slowing things down, subcontractors working in silos, timelines slipping without early warning, and outdated scheduling tools that couldn’t keep up with the pace of the jobsite.

For seasoned superintendents like Roger Hayes and Chris Moss, the story was the same: too much time spent chasing updates, too many surprises, and not enough visibility across teams.

A Smarter Way Forward

When Taurus Builders adopted Outbuild, the goal wasn’t just to replace old tools, it was to change how the entire team approached project planning. Outbuild’s field-friendly interface, real-time updates, and seamless integration of master schedules with lookaheads meant every stakeholder, from project managers to subcontractors, could work from the same live plan.

Training was fast and practical, with clear how-to videos and support from Outbuild’s onboarding team. “We were up and running without missing a beat,” recalls one superintendent. The platform’s intuitive design meant even those most accustomed to legacy systems could adapt quickly.

Collaboration That Sticks

The change was immediate. Subcontractors began logging potential roadblocks directly in Outbuild, allowing the team to re-sequence work before delays set in. 

“Outbuild's scheduling software has really helped our subcontractors buy in and has improved our company immensely. I would recommend Outbuild to any other company out there!” – Roger Hayes, Superintendent at Taurus Builders

This buy-in led to fewer last-minute surprises and smoother handoffs between trades.

Chris saw another major advantage: 

“The ability to update a single task’s duration or start date within the lookahead and see automatic adjustments on the master schedule enables precise and confident communication of timelines to everyone involved.” – Chris Moss, Superintendent at Taurus Builders

With barriers between the office and field dissolved, communication became faster, clearer, and more transparent. Silos gave way to a shared sense of ownership over the schedule.

The Results

Since implementing Outbuild, Taurus Builders has seen measurable improvements:

• 5% reduction in total project duration driven by fewer delays and reduced rework
  
• Greater subcontractor engagement thanks to shared visibility and accountability
  
• Real-time adaptability to shifting project demands without sacrificing quality
  
  

For Taurus Builders, Outbuild didn’t just make scheduling easier, it made teamwork stronger. What once felt like a constant race against the clock now feels like a well-coordinated performance, where every trade knows their cue and the entire team works in sync.
