# Outbuild: Construction Scheduling and Planning Software
Outbuild is a construction technology company that develops fully-integrated scheduling and planning software purpose-built for the construction industry[1][5]. The company addresses a critical pain point in construction project management: preventing delays and keeping projects on schedule through real-time collaboration and centralized information management.
Outbuild serves multiple stakeholders across construction projects—owners, general contractors, trade partners, and architects & designers[2]. Its platform integrates seamlessly with existing tools like Procore, creating a unified workspace where field crews and office teams can access up-to-date schedules, lookaheads, weekly plans, and analytics[2]. The company's mission is to "empower construction field teams with the best-in-class Scheduling and Planning software in the market and help reshape the construction industry and its future," with a vision to become "the world's new standard platform for construction Scheduling and Planning"[4].
Outbuild was founded in 2016 and is based in San Francisco, California[1]. The company was formerly known as ProPlanner before rebranding to Outbuild[1]. Franco Giaquinto serves as CEO[4]. The company emerged from recognizing that construction—one of the world's largest industries—lacked modern, purpose-built scheduling solutions that could effectively align field and office teams while preventing costly project delays[4].
The founding insight centered on transforming "one of the most crucial aspects of the largest industry in the world, with the help of transformative technology and to improve relationships between stakeholders while promoting healthy behaviors that will ensure projects delivered in time"[4].
Outbuild operates within the broader construction technology (ConTech) movement, which is modernizing an industry historically resistant to digital transformation. The construction sector has relied heavily on spreadsheets, manual processes, and fragmented communication tools—creating inefficiencies that compound across large, complex projects[2].
Outbuild's timing is strategic: as construction firms increasingly adopt cloud-based platforms like Procore for general project management, there is growing demand for specialized tools that integrate with these ecosystems rather than replace them[2]. The company competes in a growing market alongside similar scheduling-focused platforms like Nodes & Links, SmartPM, and Aphex[1], indicating that construction scheduling has become a recognized category worthy of dedicated investment.
By positioning itself as the integration layer between field operations and office management, Outbuild addresses a genuine gap in the construction tech stack—the need for real-time schedule visibility and collaboration that prevents the delays that plague construction projects.
Outbuild has achieved meaningful traction with a Series A funding round[1] and operates across 9 countries with 60 employees[4], suggesting the company is scaling beyond its San Francisco base. The platform's emphasis on collaboration and integration—rather than replacing existing tools—positions it well for adoption in an industry where tool proliferation is a real problem.
The company's future likely depends on deepening integrations with the broader construction software ecosystem, expanding internationally, and proving measurable ROI through on-time project delivery metrics. As construction firms face labor shortages and margin pressures, tools that prevent costly delays become increasingly valuable. Outbuild's bet is that scheduling—when done collaboratively and in real-time—is the linchpin that keeps projects aligned and on budget.
