The TeamCity plugin makes it possible to create your "personal" build that runs remotely and is just the same as a regular build. Such build includes automatic integration of all the latest sources, but the changes that you submit, bypass the version control system. They will be checked in to the version control only if they successfully integrate into the project code base.
If a personal build fails, the "real" build is not affected, and the code changes are not checked in to the version control. This helps avoid the adverse impact on the results of team work. You receive immediate notification and can fix the errors, navigating directly to the problem locations in the source code.
