Celebrating Progress: Lynn Hall Tops Out at Stetson University

Earlier this month, we proudly celebrated a major milestone at Stetson University—the topping out of Lynn Hall, the university’s newest student housing facility!

This exciting addition to campus life is designed to provide a modern, comfortable living environment that supports the academic and social success of Stetson students. Once complete, Lynn Hall will offer suite-style accommodations, study lounges, and collaborative spaces to enhance the residential experience.

The topping out ceremony marks the completion of structural work and brings us one step closer to delivering this state-of-the-art facility. As part of the celebration, we recognized the incredible efforts of our subcontractors, trade partners, and project team who have worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life.

To show our appreciation, we hosted a catered lunch on campus and held a raffle with prizes generously donated by several of our valued partners. A special thank you to our raffle prize sponsors:

Bright Future Electric
Central Florida Waterproofing
Century Fire Protection
Energy Air
Hardy Construction

We’re honored to partner with Stetson University on a project that will serve generations of students to come. Stay tuned for more updates as Lynn Hall continues to take shape!

Parrish High School Addition Complete!

We’re proud to share the successful completion of the Parrish Community High School Classroom Addition—delivered 30 days ahead of schedule and completed significantly under the original project’s construction budget!

This new one-story building will welcome 400 students and includes 14 classrooms, two engineering labs, a multipurpose space, a teacher breakroom, restrooms, and support spaces.

With over 40,000 work hours logged—and the team powering through one tropical storm and two hurricanes—this accomplishment is a true testament to the team’s dedication and resilience.

Leveraging Cutting-edge Scheduling Tech to Build Better

At Williams Company, delivering exceptional service to our clients is at the heart of everything we do. This commitment drives our decisions—especially in project management—leading us to adopt technology that enhances communication and collaboration, and improves project outcomes.

Introducing Outbuild as our construction scheduling and planning software has significantly moved the needle for us. It has transformed the way we approach projects and empowers our teams to operate at their best.

Smarter Scheduling. Stronger Teams.

Real Results.

Historically, managing project schedules required juggling outdated data and communication gaps, which often slowed project timelines.

Moving to Outbuild shifted our perspective, converting static schedules into a dynamic platform for real-time collaboration. This approach allowed our team to anticipate changes, tackle potential roadblocks, and streamline meetings with trade partners.

“Outbuild has truly enhanced the way our project team collaborates,” says Chase Maynard, Superintendent II. “I especially enjoy the conversation the roadblocks tool drives. Our subcontractors appreciate the ability to hold us as the GC accountable. We can pull Outbuild up and type in roadblocks together as we go through the upcoming schedule.” 

Success in the Field

The software’s field-first features empower superintendents to manage on-site activities more proactively.

Here are a few standout features our team values most:

Real-time updates that align field teams and trade partners, providing clarity and improving communication.

Field-focused platform that encourages team accountability, keeping projects moving smoothly across every phase.

Proactive Functionality that identifies and resolves potential issues early, reducing the need for rework.

“I really appreciate the collaboration that Outbuild drives within the project team,” Chase adds. “The intuitive interface makes it easier to teach scheduling to assistant superintendents just starting out.”

Real Impact, Right Now

Williams Company’s success with Outbuild underscores one simple truth: the right tools make all the difference. From simplifying scheduling to improving efficiency and enhancing collaboration, Outbuild has become an essential asset for our operations.

Above all, Outbuild enables us to deliver greater value to our clients—completing projects more efficiently and reliably turning projects over on time. 

Chase sums it up best: “Outbuild is a tool that supports both our mission and our people.”

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and look forward to growing this partnership as we continue building smarter, together.
