How Yager Electric Improved Schedule Acceleration Communication with Outbuild

Yager Electric often works under accelerated timelines with larger general contractors, where dates shift and the cost of miscommunication is high. The team needed better visibility into changing commitments and a clearer way to communicate impacts to GCs and owners without losing time to back-and-forth updates. They also wanted a planning approach that helped crews stay effective as priorities moved, while keeping field and office aligned on what was happening now and what needed attention next.

Outbuild gave Yager a real-time planning workflow that helps manage acceleration while keeping GCs and owners aligned.

• Clear acceleration visibility: A live schedule makes shifting dates easier to understand, supporting quicker replanning when timelines compress.
• Stakeholder-ready communication: Shared updates reduce back-and-forth and help communicate impacts clearly across GC, owner, and field teams.
• Better lookahead planning: Near-term visibility helps crews plan effectively while staying flexible as sequencing changes in the field.

Yager Electric described gaining better agility and communication while working under accelerated timelines with larger general contractors. With clearer visibility and easier updates, the team can stay fluid without losing alignment across the field, GC, and owner.

• Better acceleration control: Improved navigation of shifting timelines helped the team adjust plans faster, which reduces schedule drift when acceleration pressure increases.
• Clearer stakeholder communication: Keeping GCs and owners informed reduced coordination risk, helping prevent misalignment that can lead to delays and claims.
• More effective crew planning: Better visibility supported planning crews while remaining flexible, improving productivity when work sequencing changes quickly in construction.
