Scheduling Tools That Are Hard to Relearn
CSI Construction needed scheduling software that was easy to learn, usable across roles, and simple to pick back up after time away from the tool. Many project team members do not live in scheduling software every day, so complex systems create friction and slow adoption. CSI wanted a workflow that linked the master schedule to field lookaheads, felt familiar to teams already using project tools, and made schedule creation fast and approachable. The goal was consistent participation and a plan that stayed current without requiring specialized scheduling expertise.
Master Schedule + Lookahead in One Place
Outbuild gave CSI an easy-to-learn scheduling workflow that links the master plan to field lookaheads without requiring scheduling specialists.
- Fast schedule creation: A construction-first interface makes it quicker to build usable schedules, helping teams get to execution faster.
- Master-to-lookahead connection: Lookaheads stay tied to the master schedule, so near-term planning stays aligned to project milestones.
- Broader team accessibility: A browser-based workflow supports participation across roles, improving update consistency over time.

Faster Scheduling Support Across the Team
CSI Construction highlighted faster schedule support with a tool that is easy to learn and revisit. By connecting the master schedule to the field lookahead, teams can keep near-term planning aligned without relying on specialists or complex scheduling software.
- Faster schedule creation: Users could build schedules quickly, which reduces the time it takes to get a usable plan in place for project execution.
- Easier adoption across roles: A familiar, project-software feel improved usability for teams that do not live in scheduling tools every day, supporting broader participation.
- Better master-to-lookahead alignment: Linking the master schedule and field lookahead reduced plan drift, helping crews commit to realistic weekly work.
