How Surmount Roofing Centralized Field Coordination with Outbuild

Surmount Roofing needed better visibility across multiple job sites and a more reliable way to keep office and field teams aligned. Relying on spreadsheets, phone calls, and scattered updates made it difficult to track progress, manage weekly commitments, and stay ahead of constraints. Surmount wanted a single source of truth for planning and communication that made weekly work planning and constraint tracking easier. The goal was to streamline coordination, improve accountability, and keep teams proactive as schedules shifted across projects.

Outbuild helped Surmount replace scattered coordination with one planning system that connects scheduling, weekly commitments, and constraint tracking.

• Centralized schedule workflow: One place for the plan reduces tool sprawl and helps teams coordinate consistently across jobsites.
• Weekly work planning tools: Lookaheads and commitments make near-term execution clearer, supporting better trade coordination.
• Constraint tracking in context: Roadblocks live with the schedule so teams manage prerequisites proactively and keep work moving.

Surmount Roofing described stronger accountability and efficiency after centralizing field coordination. By replacing spreadsheets and phone updates with a live workflow, teams gained clearer visibility across job sites and improved weekly planning reliability.

• More consistent visibility: A single source of truth improved awareness across multiple job sites, reducing missed updates and conflicting information.
• Stronger constraint control: Weekly work planning and constraint tracking helped surface blockers earlier, supporting steadier sequencing and fewer avoidable delays.
• Better day-to-day execution: Real-time coordination reduced back-and-forth, helping teams make faster decisions onsite and keep work moving.
