How RC Andersen Found a Better Way to Schedule Without Added Complexity

RC Andersen was not convinced a new scheduling tool was necessary, but the team wanted to test whether there was a better way to run scheduling without adding disruption. Legacy processes felt familiar, yet day-to-day coordination still required extra effort to keep everyone aligned. They needed a low-risk way to “test the waters” with a more modern workflow that could improve real-time visibility and collaboration. The goal was to evaluate a clear upgrade without paying a premium in complexity.

Outbuild gave RC Andersen an easy way to test a modern scheduling workflow without adding complexity or disrupting active projects.

• Low-friction adoption: An intuitive interface shortens the learning curve, helping teams start updating schedules consistently without specialist-heavy training.
• Real-time alignment: Shared updates keep project teams on the same current plan, reducing update chasing and coordination delays.
• Support-led rollout: Implementation help and ongoing support keep the workflow usable after launch, which improves long-term scheduling consistency.

RC Andersen described finding a clear upgrade in scheduling workflow without taking on added cost or complexity. The team was able to test adoption quickly, improve alignment, and stick with a process that reduced day-to-day scheduling friction.

• Lower-friction scheduling: A smoother workflow reduced the admin overhead that often slows schedule maintenance, helping teams keep plans current and usable.
• Faster team alignment: Real-time visibility reduced update chasing, which improves coordination across project managers, superintendents, and trade partners.
• Confident rollout: Support during launch helped the team adopt quickly, which is critical in construction where inconsistent adoption leads to unreliable schedules and missed commitments.
