Getting Broader Team Engagement in Scheduling
Redmond Construction needed a scheduling process that more people could participate in without a steep learning curve. Limited access and tool complexity made it harder to get real-time updates and consistent engagement from the broader team. Redmond wanted a workflow that encouraged collaboration in schedule building, made it easy for anyone to contribute updates as work progressed, and supported managing complex schedules with less friction. The goal was stronger visibility, better buy-in, and a schedule that stayed current for the entire organization.
Accessible Scheduling with Procore Fit
Outbuild gave Redmond a more accessible scheduling workflow, so more people could contribute updates without a steep learning curve.
- Broader participation: Browser-based access helps more team members engage in schedule building and maintenance, improving buy-in and accuracy.
- Simplified progress updates: An intuitive workflow makes it easier to capture real-time changes, keeping the plan current for the whole team.
- Connected tool workflow: Procore fit helps keep scheduling and project communication aligned, reducing duplicate work across systems.
"Outbuild might be one of the best scheduling programs that I have used in my 25 year career. It has the complexity of a program like Primavera with the simplicity and usability of a Microsoft Project. Utilization of the web browser platform has been found to be indispensable and the integration with Procore has become an absolute necessity in our business model."
