Your 'cat * > tempfile' is a classic UUOC (useless use of cat). There's nothing wrong with making '*' (without the apostrophes so it gets expanded) the "argument" to the first command in your pipeline.
Next, when you have four greps in a pipeline, you should consider using something like awk:
Notice the "double quotes" around the awk script are not 'apostrophes' --- you need your variables to be expanded. Of course, If you need a "$" in your search pattern, you're in for quoting experiments ...
(Added) I forgot to mention that this search is not case-insensitive, unlike your original grep.

Hello -
I am running a script that is outputting to a log. Let call it output.log
I would like to monitor that log until the line "Build Successful" is found.
