Overall Satisfaction with Procore
Procore is being used company-wide to create a centralized system for managing multiple multi-million dollar construction projects and increase accessibility to information for our sub-contractors. It aids in creating a digital trail for all changes throughout the project. It makes site plans more accessible and makes any updates or changes immediately shared with everyone. It is a great system for storing everything in one place and sharing information with all involved parties.
- Inspections - photos can be immediately attached to any inspection, which is especially convenient with mobile devices through the Procore app.
- Drawings - it allows any user with access to a specific project to view the plans without having to visit the site office or order prints. All updates are immediately shared across the entire project.
- Daily Log - it tracks local weather along with manpower logs, safety infractions, and loads of other information
- Safety - with its increased focus in construction, they should have more tools implemented to aid with safety information, including first aid tracking and trend analysis reports. Being able to share specific safety infractions with the sub-contractor would be an immense help.
- Directory - it should separate people vs. companies, instead of listing everything toegther.
- Photos - it should be possible to upload photo albums through Procore drive, without them appearing under the documents tab.
- It has made documenting photos and safety infractions much easier.
- It's become an entire system that we need to include with our safety work because it has useful tools, but it requires us to work beyond our company's health and safety program since that is paper-based, and Procore aims to make construction paperless.
I didn't choose Procore. Our upper management selected it, for reasons I can't be sure of, but I'm sure they made a good decision. As they implemented the system, I had to include it as part of my work system, which involved completing a Procroe certificate and playing around with the various tools in order to grasp how it works. Overall, it's relatively user friendly and was easy to learn how to use the tools that I need.
