Schedules Locked Away From the Field
Coming from a big-company background and tools like P6, Henry knew the limitations of traditional scheduling for field teams. Schedules lived in a siloed platform that required credentials and office access, keeping the plan out of reach of the people executing it. He wanted a field-ready way to manage the schedule that owners and trades could actually see and use.
An Intuitive, Field-Ready Schedule
Instead of a siloed platform, Henry and his team now manage the entire schedule through an intuitive, field-ready interface that owners and subcontractors can engage with directly.
- Filtered subcontractor views: Outbuild's filtering lets Henry share only what each subcontractor needs, reducing noise and confusion.
- Real-time schedule impact: During weekly meetings, subs provide durations and dates entered directly into Outbuild, so everyone sees the impact on the end date in real time.
- Field-ready issue tracking: Roadblocks, photo-supported progress updates, and Procore integration red-flag critical issues early and visualize delay impacts on an iPad in the field.
"We're a smaller company, but we're always looking for new and innovative ways to be the best we can be. Outbuild has opened the door for ease of use and flow."
Clearer Visibility, Fewer Surprises
Owners can now see the schedule at a level they couldn't before, and the field runs with less rework and smoother office-to-jobsite collaboration.
- Better owner visibility: Owners gained clearer insight into project health and milestones than they had previously been able to see.
- Accountability in the field: Roadblocks and photo-supported updates assign accountability and surface critical issues early.
- Less rework, fewer surprises: Field-ready coordination has meant less rework and smoother collaboration from office to jobsite.
