The Scheduling Intelligence Platform for Construction.

The most connected scheduling platform for Autodesk Forma

Outbuild is the AI-powered scheduling platform built for construction teams. It delivers a modern, intuitive experience that makes creating and managing schedules dramatically faster than legacy tools like Microsoft Project and Oracle Primavera P6.

With the Outbuild and Autodesk Forma integration, Submittals, RFIs, and Drawings sync directly into Outbuild, bringing critical project context into your schedule. Teams can see blockers, approvals, and linked documentation in one place—eliminating manual updates and constant switching between systems.

Why Outbuild

Outbuild connects the field, office, and leadership around a single source of truth while using AI to surface risks before they cause delays.

  • Master Scheduling: Full CPM scheduling with Gantt charts, critical path, baseline management, and drag-and-drop dependencies.
  • Lookahead Planning: Break activities into actionable tasks, assign trade partners, and run Weekly Work Plans using Last Planner® methodology.
  • Connected Field Execution: Mobile and iPad access allows supers to update progress, log Roadblocks, and submit Schedule Impact Requests in real time.
  • Outbuild AI: Ask plain-language questions and get answers grounded in live project data.
  • Executive Dashboard: Portfolio-wide visibility into schedule health, PPC, PRR, trade performance, Roadblocks, and Schedule Impact Requests.
  • Roadblocks & Schedule Impact Requests: Capture field issues as they happen and route them directly to the right stakeholders.

Key benefits of the Autodesk integration

  • Live project context inside the schedule
  • RFIs, Submittals, and Drawings surface directly within Outbuild so teams can make informed decisions without leaving the schedule.
  • Identify risks earlier
  • Open RFIs and pending approvals appear in schedule context, helping teams resolve issues before they impact production.
  • Always work from current information
  • Updated drawing revisions sync automatically into linked Lookahead tasks, reducing the risk of building from outdated plans.
  • One source of truth from office to field
  • Project teams can access live drawings, RFI status, and approval workflows from desktop, mobile, or iPad—ensuring alignment across every stakeholder.

"The Outbuild and Autodesk Build integration is like literally hitting the easy button from Staples."
