What’s the real difference between TeamGantt and Outbuild?

Outbuild connects master schedules to field lookaheads for GCs managing complex coordination across trades and jobsites.

The right choice depends on whether your priority is deeper field coordination or broad schedule adoption across the entire project team.

TeamGantt keeps field and office aligned around one shared schedule that’s easy for PMs, supers, subcontractors, and clients to follow.

When is Outbuild a better fit than TeamGantt?

Outbuild is the better fit for teams managing large commercial projects that rely on Lean Construction workflows, including connected lookahead planning, constraint management, weekly work plans, and trade partner coordination.

If formal field coordination is more important than fast adoption across your project team, Outbuild is built for that.

Which tool is better for residential builders and growing GCs?

TeamGantt is the better fit for residential builders, remodelers, specialty contractors, and growing commercial GCs who need a schedule the entire project team will actually use.

Outbuild is better suited to larger commercial contractors with dedicated scheduling processes and more complex field coordination requirements.

Does TeamGantt have lookahead planning?

Yes. TeamGantt includes dedicated 2–6 week lookahead schedules on Builder Edition.

Outbuild offers a deeper lookahead workflow with weekly work plans, trade commitments, and Percent Planned Complete (PPC) tracking.

If your scheduling process revolves around formal weekly work planning, Outbuild has the advantage. If you need practical lookahead schedules that keep everyone aligned, TeamGantt is a strong fit.

Do subcontractors need an account to see the schedule?

No. Subs can confirm dates through a secure link sent by email or text—no account or app required. Their confirmation status appears directly on the Gantt chart, so you always know which trades are committed before work begins.

You can also share a live, view-only schedule with clients and trade partners that updates automatically.

How does TeamGantt pricing compare to Outbuild?

Outbuild pricing starts at $999/month, billed annually, and scales with annual construction volume.

TeamGantt Builder Edition starts at $199/month and includes 10 active projects and unlimited users. TeamGantt also offers a free plan and a 14-day free trial, so you can evaluate it before committing.

Is it hard to switch from Outbuild to TeamGantt?

No. TeamGantt imports schedules from Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, and CSV files. You can bring existing schedules over or start fresh with a construction template or an AI-generated project plan.

TeamGantt Builder Edition includes live onboarding to help your team get up and running quickly.
