(276-300 of 826)Procore as seen through a subcontractor's eyes
- Drawing Management
- Submittal Organization
- Meetings - Does not always format the way I need it to.
- Drawing Markup - This is not as seamless as it could be.
My Procore Review
- Procore can easily identify the labels on the drawings
- It is easy to share drawings with vendors
- There is no ability to print drawings inside Procore. This is problematic because the whole idea of using Procore is to avoid using space on our server. In order to print a drawing it must first be downloaded. This defeats the purpose of using Procore. Once a drawing is downloaded one must delete the drawings or organize the download.... we are trying to avoid these steps.
- Our customers use Procore and share their drawings with our organization. Once we have access, we need to be able to share the drawings with our vendors. Keep in mind, our vendors do not have access (and should not have access) to our customer's Procore account. That being said, we have to download the drawings and then re-upload, and label the drawings in order to share them. It would be most helpful if we can take a mirror image of the customer's set and duplicate them in our company Procore account without the need to download and re-upload and relabel. Transferring a copy of the drawing set from our customer's account to our Procore account would be key to fixing this issue.

Procore Pros and Cons
If they have questions about certain areas, they take a picture and upload a photo and put the "ball in court" for one of our project managers to take a look at and get then an answer.
- Access to Drawings
- Access to Specs/Submittals
- Some changes can only be made on a computer and not a mobile device
- Difficult to teach the older generation of workers how to use
The initial setup for a project is tedious and somewhat time consuming, but pays off for larger projects in terms of information sharing and access.
What's app with Procore?
- Easy access to projects.
- Easy to personalize according with different needs.
- Once you learn how to use Procore you can really enjoy it and take advantage of it.
- Customer support.
- Sometimes is very hard to have good support and when you contact them they all have a different answer for me, so that is confusing.
- Create a different program for small companies to make it easy on personnel to grow and expand.
Good product, but not good fit
- Field communication is made easier (with the right workforce)
- Drawings and their markups are more accessible
- Forms can be used to get safety logs done quicker after the initial phase of showing/teaching employees how to use and navigate
- Customer support did not help with new features being released
- Many things that were talked about in the initial demo were not quite what they were made out to be
- Hard to use with our accounting system ComputerEase
Subcontractor Integration
- Communicate with sub contractors
- Upload drawings for customer review
- The notification system is not efficient.
- It needs to be easier to alert others to changes.
Procore Review
- Captures photos
- Captures notes
- Dictates daily log
- Email
- We need to get tablets for field use, not a Procore problem.
Snapshot of Procore!!
- Daily log tool. This tool allows each one of our foremen to document critical conversations with our GC's, as well as other trades. In addition, PM's and Superintendents have the ability to monitor the progress of multiple projects from the comfort of their desks.
- Inspections. If you want to FINISH a job, and I mean actually finish a job this tool is remarkable. From pre-construction inspection checklists to unit inspections. You have the opportunity to document when the inspection was created to when the inspection item was completed. Very beneficial when we do 100-300 unit projects.
- Currently...nothing.
We Love Procore!
- Streamlined our transmittal and submittals process.
- Documents tool has been especially handy being able to keep all our documentation in one location that is accessible from either PC or mobile pretty much anywhere you have an internet connection.
- The Procore Sync tool is very handy, but it seems to be very buggy. We have had numerous issues with someone uploading documents to Procore Sync and other users not being able to see the uploaded documents right away. We sometimes have to go through a cumbersome process of going to the job, configuring settings, updating settings. And having to do this on both the uploader and receivers side. Hoping to see some improvement here on this issue in the near future.
- When adding new users to a project, it sometimes takes 5-10 minutes (sometimes a bit longer) for the project to show up inside the user's Procore app on their iPad. It gets annoying when I am trying to add a new user and give them a briefing of how the app works and operates. I often have to have them sit in my office for 10 minutes constantly refreshing the app until the job appears.
Procore Review
- Connects your drawings to their respective details.
- Keeps records of older plans or revisions and one can compare them to the new ones.
- When you tag a section cut on plans to the page of the section cut, it would help if when you select that tag the page that you are directed to is zoomed in on the exact section cut that you are looking for, because some pages have multiple section cuts.
- Sometimes we have tag many documents that pertain to one page in the plans and that can get chaotic. it would help if there was a drop-down to one of the sides of the page that had all the documents that can be attached to it.
Procore for solar
- Document management.
- Workflow.
- Daily logs and reporting.
- Customization.
- Unable to edit daily log template.
- Schedule integration.
- Quickbooks integration doesn't 'flow' both ways.
We were not sure what to use for internal document reviews, such as PO requests or subcontract revisions. The Submittals tool works, but it's clunky to have to download, then we have to upload to create a commitment once the PO has been approved.
Procore Rollout
- Organizing workflow
- Accessing essential documents from anywhere
- Communicating and sharing with coworkers
- Customizing reports
Construction Shell contractor review
- Tagging RFIs/Submittals/Changes to the drawing pages so they can be easily seen and accessed by field personnel
- Ability to upload photos directly to plan location
- Syncing with existing accounting programs to automatically update project budgets
- Customer support, instant help from Procore team
- Procore does not talk to Procore! If another Contractor on the same project has their own procore account, information cannot be shared easily between the two accounts
- Schedule module is not easily manipulated or changed
Great product but hard to justify the annual costs.
- Well organized
- Ease of use & navigation. Ability to search for items, photos, etc.
- Drawing coordination, links to RFIs and other documents
- Submittal & RFI flow process
- Uploading of photos seems to take forever.
- Ability to manage drawings once published can be difficult.
- No ability to cross-connect our Procore platform/projects with general contractors who also use Procore, which requires double-duty on administrative end.
Procore for Perfect Projects
- Document AIA Form G702-703 is automatically generated after you've created your Prime Contract. I've struggled with these pay application documents before using Procore and now it is so easy to bill my clients and track efficiently.
- Procore Mobile App: I love that my field workers and mobile office employees can get important information in a few clicks of a button. The field workers quickly enter their hours on the job site, which makes it very easy to do payroll too.
- Cost Code Customization: It is so nice to be able to change your created cost code per project. I am able to customize the cost codes for a project's specific needs and change the number and name in my budgets and pay applications that I give my customers.
- Change Orders are a nightmare to enter. As a subcontractor, we usually request a change through an RFI or are told something is being changed, and it is as simple as that. When I need to enter these changes in Procore, I have to first create a Changed Event, turn it into a Potential Change Order and finally approve it as an actual Change Order. This is a time-consuming process that is very hair-pulling. Now if I'm missing something or the Change Order needs to be changed without creating a whole revision process, I have to un-approve and go back 3 steps in order to edit or change any small details.
- Reports: I understand you can create your own, which is fantastic, but it is time-consuming and not always what you want. I think there should be more reports that are already created for you and more options for columns and information when building your own reports.
- Our vendors and clients who do not use Procore complain about the email setting. We all wish when an email is sent from Procore it would look less like an ad or junk mail. Emails and important information are getting missed because of this. We would like to see a normal standard email format.
Procore Review
- Information sharing
- Up-to-date information
- Central, standardized workflow
- Cost
- Relying on quality of internet
The cost makes it prohibitive to smaller companies.
Procore Review
- Revising and editing submittals.
- Tracking projects.
- RFIs.
- Submittal log.
- Would be nice if it was easier to upload documents.
Procore for professionals
- Communication between stakeholders.
- Repository for information.
- Real-time updates.
- Difficult to download drawing packages. An email with a link is sent then you have to open that.
Starting company review
- The Executive Dashboard gives you a detailed look at how quickly the laborers are completing jobs, and insights into what can be improved in efficiency.
- The Drawings Tool is versatile, making it easy to pinpoint specific RFIs, and what they pertain to within a building.
- Having the Company Directory has already been really helpful for every laborer if they need to get in contact with one another.
- A comprehensive Scheduling Tool that can group all projects would be helpful.
- A list of laborers that aren't on any job, that we can use to place them at a new project.
- It would be beneficial to have a dashboard with all tasks, rather than having to go into each project to view.
Ease of use
- Punch lists
- Purchase orders
- Submittals
- Project scheduling
- Ability to link with NAV software
The key to remoteness on your hands
- Access to Information
- New task tool follow up
- Cloud-based drawings access
- Access for everyone in the company to view files per project
- Drawings mark up
- Printing from website directly
Procore improves productivity in the Subcontractor world
- RFI and Submittal Modules help us manage all the work flow.
- Drawing Updates are very easy to roll out to our entire team.
- Photos and Project Documentation are instantly available to the entire team.
- Timesheet tool entry - issues with duplicate users and data entry.
- Having project info from one company's Procore communicate with another company's Procore is an issue (we have many of our clients who use it too).
- There is no auto alert when a software update comes out.
Great project management solution - but lacking integrations to provide a full company solution
- Shares drawings across all our devices for use in the office and the field.
- Captures and stores project-related pictures from the field.
- Contains project information in one spot that can be accessed by the whole project team.
- Procore doesn't seem to integrate well with Sage 300 CRE. There is a lot of issues getting things to sync between the programs. Revenue Recognition would be huge but doesn't give us the ability at the moment.
- Scheduling integration is poor. As a Subcontractor, I don't need to use the full MS Project product, but Procore doesn't have a simple Gantt chart to use that rolls up into a company-wide schedule so we're forced to use MS Project and pay for licenses.
- They miss the mark on their "Tasks" tool. It's been brought up many times in their "Request an Idea" forum that companies need the ability to prepopulate tasks that are done on each project, so they don’t have to be entered for each project manually, but there isn’t the functionality to do that. Also, it can't mass-import them either.
- Really lacking on the accounting end. It almost doesn't make sense to use the ERP Integrations as it only provides up-to-date budget information. I can make my pay apps out of Procore, but they still need to be manually entered in Sage.
- Data analysis is lacking. It has some dashboard reporting but if you link a decent amount of data, it bogs down hard and eventually doesn’t load. With the lack of accounting information being pulled into the system, there isn’t a good way to get dashboard reporting on financials like some competitors that have the full suite of PM, Accounting software, etc.
- Very overpriced for a simple project management solution. Could have a cheaper version for subcontractors since we don’t need a lot of the tools.
- Currently no integration with other companies that use Procore. It can be confusing switching between Procore accounts and requires duplicate entry in each system if the GC and Subcontractor are both on the platform. They did announce at their Groundbreak event that they will be rolling out integrations soon.
Great potential
- Great photo uploading and storage and access.
- Great correspondence features between all staff.
- Linked drawings are a big advantage.
- Our being a subcontractor and not a general contractor makes the system difficult to adapt to for our uses.
- Project financials and the interaction between Procore and Sage Estimating has been extremely cumbersome and non-user-friendly.
- Program was sold to us as being useful for subcontractors as well as general contractors, this is definitely not the case.
- Want to see modules and systems designed specifically for subcontractors, using the correct terminology.
