Procore Reviews

The drawings tool helps people stay up to date. The inspections tool lets us document risks. The financials are streamlined with the Sage integration.

The financial tools and project management tools are what we use the most. Using each of these items has simplified our process once we've gained understanding and most importantly user "buy-in."

Change orders

Drawings

We rely on many of the features but the ones above would be the most common used. The directory is useful for a company phone book/contact organization.

1. Allows job site reporting and pictures.
2. Helps with our employee payroll.
3. Provides real-time financial reports.

We primarily focus on the document communication tools.

Drawings - These ensure everyone has the most up to date project files.
Photos - These allow everyone to see what the guys in the field are seeing.
Daily Log - Our customized Daily Log allows us to track equipment, deliveries, workforce, inspections, delays. That, along with the ability to attach photos and files, creates a complete daily report.
Change Events - This module allows us to start the creation of a change that will eventually turn into a Potential Change Order.
Time Tracking - We don't currently use Procore for time tracking as it doesn't suit our needs. It would be nice if one day Procore were to acquire a timekeeping company that allows an individual to clock in and out on their own. If Procore could roll this feature into its platform, it would benefit a lot of subcontractors.

Procore helps us achieve our goals by storing our data indefinitely for recall. Too often we spend time researching and pulling up old information that is better stored and accessible within Procore's system.

The document distribution/tracking and the field reports allow for a major boost in communication.

We are hoping by using this program everyone will be on real-time updates.

Prime contract, budget, commitments and ERP are most important for me.

Having current information to all levels of management is key to all of our goals. Having a platform that is flexible enough to work for office and field workers is a big deal.

If they got Procore accounts to share information between them to reduce data entry, added the ability to get geofencing for the time clock portion, fixed the task tool, and better integrated with HR and Accounting solutions, this would be a very nice product. We're pleased with the drawing, document, and photo collaboration.

Procore retains a history of all of the drawing versions and files to help maintain visibility on projects. It makes it easy to report job conditions as well as safety inspections that stay with the job automatically. Once you add files and markups on the app in the field it's automatically available on the site in the office.

The drawings, submittals, and specs are available for our persons on the job site. This is so valuable.

Gaining visibility into the projects was crucial for our on-site team to understand exactly the challenges we would be facing and how we would be tackling them. Information being in a hub and up to date also helped us with this. Reports were streamlined and very easy to complete and use. Job site risks were reported and distributed in a way where everyone could see. The forecast helped us out a lot, as in 1 hub we could decide whether we could work or not (we need clear weather).

We needed the easy setup of the project, the user-friendly self-management that the software allowed as surprises came up throughout the project, and the overall speed that it took for everyone to learn how to use the software. For us, this was just a good fit. It was what we needed when we needed it.

Cloud based and efficient

All of the modules and tools play a role in our documentation goals. They are a great and streamlined tool to use. The safety and quality "field tools" help ID risks in the field, and the use of the observations tool has enabled our team to communicate these risks and train the responsible parties to mitigate them. The construction financials tool helps to track cost impacts and streamline the reporting because it is all done in one place. Any time anything happens that could impact cost, it is a "change event." This alone has changed our company culture to begin tracking and assessing these things earlier and more effectively in the life of a project.

Helps to keep all financials in a single location. We had an accountant on-board for more involvement, but has been less recently with Procore. That has helped keep accountant's billing time and costs down, however I believe Procore is still fairly expensive a service. A nice feature is the Change Event, which has changed the way I operate to document things right away.
