Making Schedules Usable and Easy to Share
Gardner Builders needed schedules that looked professional for clients and trade partners while still being simple enough for teams to build and maintain. When schedules are hard to format, update, or share, the plan quickly loses credibility and communication slows down. Gardner wanted a workflow that made it easier to create clear, client-ready schedules, keep updates moving without heavy administrative effort, and support adoption over time with training resources. The goal was a usable schedule that improved coordination and could be shared confidently with external stakeholders.
Versatile Scheduling with Support to Drive Adoption
Outbuild helped Gardner create client-ready schedules while keeping the workflow simple enough for teams to build, update, and repeat across projects.
- Client-ready outputs: Clean exports make it easier to share the plan with owners and trade partners without extra formatting work.
- Repeatable schedule creation: A workflow that improves with repetition helps teams get faster and more consistent as they build new schedules.
- Support resources for adoption: Training and helpful videos reduce ramp time and help teams stick with the process long term.
"Outbuild produces an aesthetically pleasing and effective schedule for our clients and trade partners to follow."
