Permitting Manager at Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for a non-profit home builder, I am the permitting manager. I create new projects, request Truss bids, upload drawings and documents and update all projects with permitting information. I find that there isn't a specified location for permitting/utility info. Currently we are using notes. This is not a productive way of providing this information to our team.

Pros

Documents Storage
Bidding and Invoicing
Drawing storage and updates

Cons

Permitting Inforamtion
Utility Information
Job Site Information

Return on Investment

Contract Management
Contractor Selections
Bid Requests

Project Manager in Customer Service at Cardinal Construction Co. (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Procore as both a subcontractor and a GC. In using the software for both situations it proves to be extremely helpful in keeping the job organized and all in one place at the same time for everyone to use/share. The software keeps the project moving on schedule as well with real time updates and notifications to the project team members and helps hold everyone accountable for their work. Procore is very user-friendly on desktop, iPad, and iPhone. Not only is it beloved in the office, field employees love it as well to always have the plans/specs/submittals on them and answer questions before they become a delay.

Pros

Submittal Management
Drawing Management
Meeting Management
Schedule/Document Management
BIM Model

Cons

Financials
Cost
Project Closeout/Saving a Job for an Extended period of time

Return on Investment

Saved time in the office AND the field
Eliminated costly mistakes
Documented meeting minutes to assist for any questions/concerns on a project

Alternatives Considered

Construction Project Manager in Professional Services at EGAPRO GLOBAL (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I mostly use it at the Owner level being the administrator of the project, helps with all the end-to-end documentation of it, daily log help a lot as well for the record of important things like weather, site visits from the client or even quality audits, tools like observations and inspections help to track these finding and continue the follow up accordingly

Pros

Documentation management
Schedule integration
Graphic evidence like audits, reports and photos

Cons

Meetings assignees responsibles integration at Home page (myopenitems), several points between meetings are stacking up in my Home
Financial tools are sometimes confusing, im using Procore in Mexico's projects and it's kinda confusing sometime where to drop POs, Contract Amounts, Change order, Change events
Set inspections as different profiles like, leasing contract, owner, GC, etc

Return on Investment

Saved time
Increased efficiency
Communication transparency between parties
Long term commercial relationships

Other Software Used

Architect, Project Manager in Professional Services at FFKR Architects (51-200 employees employees)

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.

Director in Product Management (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Procore for all aspects of Project Management; including drawings review, RFIs, submittals, prime contracts, subcontracts, all change orders, invoicing, financials, and are connected to ERP. Procore solves the issue of missing access to all of these items in the field and removes the constant concern of "is this the latest and greatest"

Pros

RFI management is extremely easy in Procore.
Issuing contracts and change orders to Owners and Subcontractors is very easy
Procore allows us to create our own configurations of specific processes, meaning we can make it work for what our company needs

Cons

The scheduling tool is not great, but I know Procore is working on this one a ton
I'd like the ability to configure an internal company-level landing page better
the change order process can get confusing and is sometimes hard to get right
I wish more items were connected in the ERP Integration with Sage Intacct

Return on Investment

The company has been able to increase our ACV significantly while keeping the number of employees relatively the same, meaning people are managing more work volume as individuals.
We have been able to increase the complexity of our jobs, allowing us to perform a smaller number of jobs while also increasing our ACV
