The Schedule Wasn't Connected to the Field
At Jaynes, the schedule is the backbone of how project teams, staff, and subcontractors deliver on contract commitments. But traditional tools made it difficult to keep the field aligned to the plan. When crews don't have a clear view of their scope, sequence, and dependencies, work happens out of order and teams return to fix missed items. Jaynes wanted a collaborative schedule that defined exactly what each trade was responsible for, kept subcontractors looking weeks ahead, and made daily coordination sharper without adding overhead.
A Collaborative Schedule Built for the Field
Outbuild gave Jaynes a shared, trade-level schedule that keeps subcontractors aligned and makes field coordination run smoother.
- Trade-specific task exports: Foremen's meetings and daily huddles run sharper because each trade gets a clear export of what they own that week and what's coming over the next eight weeks.
- Visible scope and sequence: Subcontractors can see their scope, sequence, and dependencies, which increases participation and accountability across crews.
- Support-led implementation: Hands-on training from Outbuild's team helped Jaynes incorporate the workflow into day-to-day operations quickly.
"Outbuild has made my foremen’s meetings and daily huddles run much smoother by allowing us to export specific trade tasks. Now everyone knows exactly what they’re responsible for each week and what is coming up over the next eight weeks. This clear visibility helps our whole team stay coordinated and accountable, making project execution much more efficient for all trades involved.”
Sharper Coordination and Less Rework
Jaynes reported greater clarity in the field, smoother handoffs between trades, and fewer crews working out of order. With a schedule the whole team can see and act on, coordination got tighter and avoidable delays went down.
- Smoother trade handoffs: A shared view of upcoming weeks reduced confusion at handoffs, helping crews stay sequenced instead of returning to fix missed items.
- Higher trade accountability: Clear ownership of scope and timing increased subcontractor participation and kept teams accountable to commitments.
- Less rework and downtime: Better field alignment cut crews working out of order, reducing rework, downtime, and delays across projects.
