Outbuild Reviews & Product Details

I have been using Outbuild for 3 years now and I always tell people the same thing. It is a one stop shop for all your scheduling needs. The master schedule, look ahead and weekly work plan all talk to each other, so it makes updating and publishing schedules easy. The analytics page is great to see who is doing strong on the project and who is struggling. This makes conversation with your trade partners easy to get reward them or interject if someone needs help meeting schedule expectations. The roadblocks function is useful took within your look ahead schedule to track and manage constraints to keep your project flowing. Would recommend this to anyone looking to streamline their scheduling needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish there was a better delay tracking. However, the Outbuild team is always willing to help and take your feedback seriously to better their product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing projects in the construction industry can be daunting, but Outbuild has been a fantastic resource for our team. The Lookahead feature and seamless integration with Procore make it an indispensable tool. It's practical and straightforward, helping us to save time and improve project performance. The standout, though, is their responsive customer support whenever technical questions arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had a few small bugs with the Lookahead feature but the technical team got them sorted out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Outbuild unifies all of the schedules into one location, which makes finding information very quick, efficient, and simple. The executive dashboard is also great because it lets me see that my teams are actively updating their schedules. I manage 10 to 20 projects at a high level, and this feature helps me keep track of everything. The color-coded bars on the dashboard are useful, too—if it's blue, it means a project is on track, and if it's red, it's behind. This visual cue helps me see at a glance if the schedules need to be updated more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lot of features in Outbuild, so it can be overwhelming to the user. It took a little bit of time to get used to Outbuild because it had so many features to learn about. It was a little bit overwhelming, so it took me about six months of using the program to get comfortable with it and see its value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Outbuild for project scheduling and find its UI much easier to navigate than other scheduling software like OracleCloud/P6 and Microsoft Project. The ability to integrate with Procore is extremely helpful with submittals and RFIs. I appreciate its ease of use with scheduling, especially with managing predecessors, successors, and constraints. The overall program view that allows me to see how multiple projects are operating at once is also a great feature. It's a real time saver. The setup was very easy thanks to Outbuild's onboarding team, who were helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to access. I rated it a 10 out of 10 and even recommended it to my current company.

Expansion of the app for iPad. Currently the app is only giving me the ability to monitor the look ahead, but I would love to be able to update and troubleshoot the master schedule via my iPad as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use for the office side and the field supervision side. Also the compatibility with Procore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the app can sometimes be difficult to adjust schedules on the app. I usually opt to go on the web via my laptop to update the schedules in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it allows the schedule to be worked on communally rather than in a "silo". Getting input from all members of the team helps with building schedules that more accurately reflect the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting took some time to get used to, but with any new software once you get past the learning curve it becomes a breeze to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Outbuild has been great for enhancing operational clarity and supporting process improvements. I like the analytics provided in the weekly work plan, which offer transparency, accountability, and visibility. Every schedule in our company is visible on Outbuild, and we can check the health and structure of any schedule easily. I also enjoy being able to measure progress. The setup was pretty easy, and Outbuild Academy makes training accessible and painless. Moving from analog methods to Outbuild has been a digital improvement for us.

The iPhone and iPad app could be improved. It's kinda clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Outbuild has completely streamlined our construction scheduling and coordination processes. The software's intuitive design makes scheduling straightforward, even for those not tech-savvy. The integration of lookahead tools has greatly improved our trade coordination meetings, reducing miscommunication and rework. With real-time updates and transparency in tracking progress, our projects stay on track effortlessly. Overall, a truly valuable tool for the construction industry Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about this software that I have found so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 3 weeks connect to the master. It's easy to update and export to PDF. It has saved me time each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was definitely a learning curve for me. Also, in the 3-week section, I wish I could copy the master schedule items without them showing up twice. Sometimes the master schedule is detailed enough that I’d rather display it directly on the 3-week view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
