Coordination with Outside Parties Was Slowing Execution

Markley needed a better way to coordinate day-to-day scheduling with outside parties without adding friction for the internal team. When updates are scattered across emails, calls, and spreadsheets, it becomes harder to keep the schedule current and prevent rework caused by misalignment. Markley wanted a workflow that simplified collaboration with partners, improved visibility into potential roadblocks, and helped everyone stay aligned on what was next. The goal was a dependable, easy-to-use process that supported execution instead of slowing it down.

Easy-to-Use Scheduling with Real-Time Updates

Outbuild gave Markley a day-to-day scheduling workflow that is easy to adopt and keeps external partners aligned on the same current plan.

  • Collaborative access: Sharing the schedule in one system makes it easier to coordinate with outside parties without long email chains.
  • Real-time schedule updates: Live visibility reduces the risk of teams acting on outdated dates, supporting steadier sequencing.
  • Constraint tracking: Roadblocks tied to the plan help teams manage prerequisites earlier, reducing scheduling chaos during execution.

"I’ve used Outbuild since Q1 2024 and have found it to be one of the most useful day to day tools that I use in construction. Due to the ease of use and coordination with outside parties it has been pivotal."
