Outbuild is built around one idea: the master schedule, the three-week lookahead and the weekly work plan should be one connected system. Core starts at $999 a month billed annually and includes the master schedule, lookahead, project hub, weekly work plan, schedule impact management, roadblocks and Outbuild AI, with unlimited users and projects. Outbuild's own example puts that at $100 per project or $50 per user a month for 10 active projects and 20 users. Trade partners can update their own tasks, field teams work from an iPad or iPhone app with offline mode, and the platform integrates with Autodesk, Procore and Trimble ProjectSight. AI agents can generate, check and help build schedules. The downsides are cost for small firms, pricing that rises with annual construction volume and portfolio features such as executive dashboards and variance analysis sitting on the custom-priced Pro plan.
