ICM Construction Trades P6 Complexity for Collaboration-First Scheduling

ICM Construction needed to move away from P6-level complexity without losing control of scheduling. When tools are too complex, participation drops and field teams get disconnected from the plan, but overly simple systems can leave teams without the structure they need. ICM wanted a collaboration-first workflow that bridged management and field teams, made scheduling easier to use day-to-day, and improved coordination with trade partners. The goal was a more intuitive tool that encouraged adoption across roles while maintaining the structure and visibility required to run projects confidently.

Outbuild helped ICM move away from P6-level complexity with a collaboration-first scheduling workflow that teams can navigate and maintain day to day.

• Collaboration between field and management: One shared plan bridges office intent and field execution, improving handoffs and coordination.
• Real-time updates: Live visibility keeps stakeholders aligned on the current plan and reduces version confusion.
• Simpler day-to-day navigation: An intuitive interface lowers friction so schedules stay current without specialized scheduling expertise.

ICM Construction described Outbuild as an essential, easier-to-use alternative to legacy complexity while still keeping scheduling structured and useful. With better collaboration between management and the field, teams improved day-to-day coordination without P6-level friction.

• Stronger field-to-management coordination: A shared plan reduced gaps between office planning and field execution, supporting cleaner handoffs.
• More usable daily scheduling: An intuitive workflow kept schedules current, helping teams coordinate sequencing and commitments more consistently.
• Less legacy-tool friction: Easier navigation improved adoption across roles, reducing the risk of schedules going stale due to low participation.
