Andres Construction Puts Field-First Planning Front and Center

Andres Construction needed a way to keep the master schedule and short-term planning aligned without adding more administrative work or relying on disconnected tools. When lookaheads drift from the contract schedule, teams lose strategic foresight and field execution becomes reactive. Andres wanted a workflow the field would actually use day-to-day, while still giving office teams confidence that near-term commitments stayed tied to long-term milestones. The goal was better participation, clearer coordination across roles, and a more efficient planning rhythm that supported reliable task execution.

Outbuild helped Andres create a schedule workflow that is easier for field teams to engage with, while keeping office teams confident in the plan.

• CPM + lookahead in one workflow: Build lookaheads in alignment with the master timeline so planning stays coherent across phases.
• Field engagement by design: Ease of use encourages field staff and project teams to actively participate in planning activities.
• Clearer coordination across roles: A shared plan improves communication and supports more reliable task execution.

Andres Construction described improved coordination by using a field-friendly workflow that keeps contract schedules and lookaheads connected. With stronger participation and clearer visibility into what is next, teams can plan with fewer gaps between office intent and field execution.

• More field participation: Easier day-to-day use supported broader engagement, improving the accuracy of near-term plans and reducing missed handoffs.
• Stronger master-plan alignment: Connected lookaheads reduced drift from contractual milestones, helping keep sequencing realistic as work progressed.
• Higher execution efficiency: Better foresight and coordination reduced firefighting, supporting a steadier production rhythm on active projects.
