How Shaw-Lundquist Associates Protected Schedules with Analytics and Roadblock Visibility

Shaw-Lundquist Associates needed better visibility into roadblocks and a clearer way to communicate schedule impact to stakeholders. When constraints were tracked loosely, it was hard to explain why dates moved or where delays were coming from, which put schedule credibility at risk. The team wanted reporting that made roadblocks easier to see, tied issues directly to schedule outcomes, and provided backup for conversations with owners and subcontractors. The goal was a more connected workflow that made schedule risk transparent and easier to manage day to day.

Outbuild gave Shaw-Lundquist a clearer way to track roadblocks and defend schedule impacts with stakeholder-ready insight.

• Stronger schedule proof: Analytics ties constraints to dates, helping teams explain delays with credible backup instead of assumptions.
• Earlier risk visibility: Roadblock tracking surfaces issues before they hit upcoming work, supporting faster mitigation and steadier sequencing.
• Cleaner reporting workflow: A shared, real-time plan reduces version churn and keeps schedule communication consistent across owners and subs.

Shaw-Lundquist Associates described getting clearer, stakeholder-ready schedule insight by tying roadblocks to real schedule impact. With better visibility and proof, the team can protect schedule credibility and manage delays with less guesswork.

• Clearer schedule defense: Analytics and roadblock tracking made it easier to show how constraints affected dates, helping teams explain delays to owners and subs with confidence.
• Faster issue response: Better visibility into roadblocks helped the team spot constraints earlier, so they could address problems before they snowballed into missed milestones.
• More trusted reporting: A connected workflow produced cleaner, more consistent updates, reducing disputes and keeping the schedule credible as conditions changed.
