Fowler Construction Connects Submittals to the Schedule

Fowler Construction & Development needed to connect submittal work to schedule flow while keeping office and field teams aligned. When submittals and scheduling live in separate places, teams lose time to manual follow-up and it becomes harder to anticipate impacts before they hit the jobsite. Fowler wanted a workflow that made it easy to integrate submittals into the project timeline, improve coordination across roles, and reduce avoidable delays caused by missing information. The goal was better efficiency without adding extra process overhead.

Outbuild helped Fowler tie key project information directly to the schedule so teams can coordinate approvals and field work from one workflow.

• Schedule-linked submittals: Submittals connect to activities so teams can see approval dependencies in context and avoid downstream schedule surprises.
• Clearer timeline context: A single timeline view helps teams understand what is ready, what is pending, and what is at risk.
• Faster plan adjustments: A straightforward workflow makes it easier to update the schedule as project information changes.

Fowler Construction & Development reported meaningful time savings by tying submittals into the schedule workflow. With fewer manual handoffs and clearer timeline context, the team reduced coordination friction that can delay work in construction.

• Fewer coordination handoffs: Connecting submittals to the timeline reduced manual follow-ups, helping keep approvals from quietly stalling field progress.
• Faster schedule updates: A smoother workflow made it easier to update and share the plan, supporting better sequencing decisions as information changed.
• More efficient execution: Reduced friction between documents and schedule flow helped teams stay aligned on what is ready to build and what is still pending.
