A simple alternative to Microsoft Project for construction scheduling

Why are builders replacing MS Project with Outbuild?

"MS Project could be the most powerful tool on the market but does the vast majority know how to really use these tools at the end of the day? In our experience, not really.

It's too complicated to figure out all the bells and whistles it can do. 

The truth is that you have a seasoned superintendent who smokes constantly, who doesn’t like computers and you are going to try to get him to use a program complex like that. 

Is not going to happen.

That’s why it is so important to use intuitive and simple scheduling programs. To encourage people and make it easier to have all the actors involved in the same conversation."

testimonials

What our customers are saying.

From billion-dollar companies to smaller family-owned businesses. They all believe that construction deserves a better scheduling and planning tool.

“This platform can help us elevate our game, improve our scheduling, and standardize it across the company like we did with Procore. It provides one platform that everyone uses the same way and is also easy to launch anywhere because it is cloud-based.”

Watch quote
Gerardo Huerta
Vice President Construction, AMCAL

“If they can take a marker and make marks on a whiteboard, they can use this platform.”

Watch quote
Craig Loschen
VP - Project Management, Wells & Wells Construction Co.

“The ability to couple roadblocks with our use of Procore, tie submittals, tie RFIs to tasks within the schedule that are linked together, so in that way we can truly run our project through the schedule itself. It’s different than we’ve done in the past and I think is the right approach.”

Watch quote
Dylan Keller
Director of Operations, Warfel

“Outbuild is probably the only software that we've had that people are genuinely excited about. Every day, I have someone walking into my office asking to use Outbuild.”

Watch quote
Britt Jordan
Former Operation Technology Specialist, Andres

“The way you have the program set up aligns perfectly with how my brain works when I think about a project. The structure makes complete sense to me.”

Watch quote
Patrick Parkman
Scheduling Manager, Juneau Construction

“The reason we really liked Outbuild was that it brought everything together. The schedule and the look-ahead plan communicate with each other, and there’s mobile access, making it easy to share with people. ”
