Seamlessly Scheduling Success: Larry's Journey with Outbuild
In the bustling realm of construction management, Larry Muller, a Project Manager at WPC, has witnessed the evolution of scheduling techniques over four decades. WPC, a stalwart construction company since 1974, has long recognized the need for precision in timing and coordination. For years, they struggled with static scheduling solutions that failed to facilitate real-time collaboration or interactions between partners and subcontractors.
Turning Roadblocks Into Progress
The advent of Outbuild proved transformative for Larry and his team. With its intuitive web-based platform blending contract scheduling with field coordination, Outbuild checked all the boxes on WPC's extensive wishlist. Critically acclaimed features like 'Roadblocks' enabled clear communication on critical project requirements to clients and subcontractors alike. This feature directly addressed potential delays by ensuring hurdles were communicated effectively before they could stall progress.
A standout benefit was linking submittals directly to schedules, transparently illustrating how delays might ripple across entire project timelines.
It fostered a culture of accountability among clients and design teams at WPC, strengthening bonds built on trust and clarity. Transitioning wasn't just smooth; it was exemplary—thanks largely to Outbuild's formidable support team who provided comprehensive training programs perfectly aligned with Larry’s role in supporting new hires at WPC.
From Skepticism to Confidence
Despite initial apprehension about adopting a new system after decades of ingrained practices—Larry found solace in exceptional instructional videos made available by Outbuild—each equips users across experience levels due diligence necessary for mastery quickly without compromising effectiveness or quality expected from industry veterans entrenched within well-established protocols since inception back when schedules were first drawn manually way back during his career inception era itself!
The Outbuild team has been supportive from the very beginning and is always available to answer any questions. The training videos they offer are exceptional. The interaction with Procore makes it a perfect fit for our team.
