Architects Procore Evaluation
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am an architect working on multiple projects under construction with a construction budget of $10M - $50M. Procore is a powerful document management tool that streamlines distribution and tracking of documents such as submittals, RFIs, and Meeting Minutes. It works best when all stakeholders are involved, which sadly is not always the case, so I still have to track things separately. The product is improving all the time, but I really do not like the graphic interface for meeting minutes which are difficult to read and navigation between issues covered in the meeting is difficult and suffers from lost information if each issue is not saved every time you switch issues.
Pros
- Distribution of documents to project stakeholders
Cons
- Meeting Minutes live auto save would solve the problem with notes not being saved.
Return on Investment
- I am not involved in the software costs to our firm, but I have experience with others leaving Procor due to high costs relative to the competition.
