SAN FRANCISCO – November 09, 2026 -- Outbuild, a construction scheduling platform, has launched an integration that syncs submittals, RFIs and drawings from Trimble ProjectSight directly into its scheduling and planning software, removing manual updates across spreadsheets and systems for general contractors running both products.
The companies point to two figures behind the launch: only 8.5% of construction projects finish on time and on budget, and teams lose an average of 5.5 hours a week searching for revised drawings and updates. Outbuild says documentation and scheduling have long sat in separate systems, so a slipped approval or revised drawing often reaches the scheduler days later, typically in a status meeting.
Submittals sync bidirectionally with schedule activities
Submittals created in ProjectSight sync to Outbuild and can be linked to schedule activities. The link updates planned submission and approval dates automatically. Status changes sync in both directions throughout the submittal lifecycle.
RFIs import automatically as schedule Roadblocks
RFIs created in ProjectSight arrive in Outbuild as Roadblocks, which makes them visible on the schedule. Each RFI can be tied to a specific Lookahead task and managed through its lifecycle in Outbuild. Status changes sync back to ProjectSight in real time.
Drawings attach to Lookahead tasks in the field
ProjectSight drawings can be linked to Outbuild Lookahead tasks and opened from the task detail. Outbuild says this keeps the current drawing set where work is planned and helps teams avoid costly rework.
For contractors on both platforms, procurement and design risks show up as schedule risks when they occur, not at the next update cycle. Project managers see approval exposure against the dates that depend on it. Leadership sees the downstream effect on schedule health across the portfolio in the Outbuild Executive Dashboard.
Outbuild CEO Franco Giaquinto said the schedule works as a single source of truth only if it knows what the rest of the project knows. Matthew Ramage, associate vice president of project delivery at Trimble, said customers want project controls and scheduling to behave like "one system, not two."
Connor Britt, Director of Construction at Envoy Real Estate, said Outbuild has significantly improved scheduling and coordination for his team. He cited the visual layout for tracking progress, assigning roadblocks and making real-time updates.
Integration is live for Outbuild customers and on the Trimble Marketplace
The integration is available now to Outbuild customers and through the Trimble Marketplace. It follows Outbuild's 2026 platform releases, which added Project Intelligence capabilities and four AI agents built on construction logic: Outbuild Assistant, Schedule Health, Co-Builder and Schedule Generator. Hundreds of contractors in more than 10 countries use the platform.
