en.Wedoany.com Reported - Outbuild, a US-based construction project control software provider, announced on June 3, 2026, in San Francisco that it has further deepened its integration with Autodesk. This integration directly links three core project management document types from Autodesk Construction Cloud—"Request for Information (RFIs)," "Submittals," and "Drawings"—into Outbuild's scheduling and planning workflows. The goal is to bridge the information gap between project control data and on-site execution plans, helping construction teams identify schedule risks early and reduce project delays caused by data fragmentation.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Outbuild is a software provider specializing in scheduling and coordination for the construction industry. The company offers a digital platform that synchronizes master schedules with lookahead plans. In November 2024, it completed an $11 million Series A funding round led by Sway Ventures, with participation from Hilti Venture and Trimble Ventures, among others. Currently, Outbuild serves over 400 clients globally, managing projects with a total value exceeding $50 billion, operating in more than 10 countries, with total funding reaching $13.4 million and a team of approximately 81 employees.

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in San Rafael, California, Autodesk is a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software. Its Autodesk Construction Cloud (renamed Autodesk Forma in March 2026) is a cloud-based information platform for construction projects, integrating modules such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) collaboration, document management, schedule tracking, and on-site workflows.

Under this integration plan, for RFIs, RFIs from Autodesk Construction Cloud will be automatically imported into the Outbuild platform and linked as "Roadblocks" directly to construction tasks in the lookahead plan. Project teams can instantly identify which activities face potential delay risks, the current status and priority of RFIs, pending issues, and responsible parties, enabling proactive intervention before issues impact the schedule. For Submittals, once synchronized into Outbuild, they can be associated with relevant schedule activities, allowing project teams to view submittal approval status, key dates, and upcoming milestones within a single interface without switching between systems. For Drawings management, the integration directly links Autodesk Drawings and drawing schedules to Outbuild's Lookahead tasks. When drawings are updated in Autodesk Construction Cloud, the latest version is automatically visible in the corresponding tasks, ensuring on-site personnel always use the most current drawings and reducing construction errors caused by version confusion.

For users of both Autodesk and Outbuild, this deepened integration extends data connectivity to project execution workflows beyond the original one-click schedule synchronization feature, creating a comprehensive planning environment that encompasses schedules, RFIs, Submittals, and Drawings.
