How Kahn Mechanical Contractors Improved Roadblock Visibility with Outbuild

Kahn Mechanical Contractors needed a clearer way to manage roadblocks and keep weekly work plan commitments visible to teams onsite. Without consistent visibility into task progress and constraints, teams can lose momentum and issues get addressed too late. Kahn wanted a workflow that provided clearly defined lookaheads, improved transparency across stakeholders, and made it easier to surface and remove constraints in real time. The goal was stronger collaboration, more predictable roadblock management, and a week-to-week plan that the field could trust and follow consistently.

Outbuild helped Kahn make lookaheads and roadblocks easier to manage with a workflow that keeps weekly commitments visible to the field.

• Clear six-week lookaheads: Defined near-term plans help teams coordinate upcoming work and protect sequencing week to week.
• Roadblock tracking in context: Constraints stay tied to the plan so teams can assign, follow up, and remove blockers earlier.
• Support to drive adoption: Training and responsive help reduce ramp time and keep the workflow consistent across projects.

Kahn Mechanical Contractors reported stronger day-to-day control by making task progress and roadblocks more visible to the field. With clearly defined lookaheads and real-time updates, teams can coordinate work with fewer surprises and keep commitments realistic.

• Clearer progress visibility: Defined lookaheads made upcoming work easier to track, supporting steadier weekly planning and better follow-through.
• Simpler roadblock management: Real-time updates kept constraints moving, reducing the risk of stalled work and last-minute resequencing.
• Stronger collaboration: Better transparency across stakeholders improved coordination, which is critical for subcontractor-heavy construction workflows.
