Overall Satisfaction with Procore
As an architectural design firm, Procore is invaluable to us to help manage a project through the design phase and especially throughout the construction administration phase.
We use Procore to easily manage file/background distribution, tracking, current drawing set, RFIs, submittals, etc. This allows us to keep better control over the management of our projects, which in turn allows us to provide a better product to our clients and help produce a better constructed product.

- Drawing Set Management - Excellent system for keeping the project team connected with current drawings, but also keep an ongoing history of previous releases.
- Document Management - Allows for an easy distribution and collection point for a project's shared document "pile". Document download is tracked, which helps track project background distribution during the design process.
- Submittals - Tracking and reminders for overdue submittals helps keep the review process moving and on time.
- File/Drawing Distribution Outside of the "Directory". Currently, files can only be sent directly to someone who is a Procore user added to your directory. Would be good to have a way to "quickly" send something to a directly inputed email address.
- Integration of BIM data/models in a more integrated way.
- Better mark-up tools.
- Has increased internal accountability for the project team.
- As an architecture firm, hard to quantify a ROI financially, but has definetly helped management and organization.
