Overall Satisfaction with Procore
It is used for all phases of project management, and by the field supervisors. It helps us track our documentation, and allows access to them in the field.
- The drawings tool allows for on-the-spot corrections and notations.
- The commitments folder allows the field personnel to access scope of work in the field.
- The documents folder allows us to send out files to vendors that might be cumbersome in an email.
- The budgeting tool does not accommodate some of the labor rates we use, so we cannot utilize that module.
- The schedule does not allow us to choose the specific weeks we need to run a report on.
- The RFI module is not a finite as it could be to be more useful.
More and more of the companies we do business with (GCs) are using Procore, and the collaboration capabilities have been very helpful. The owners really like being able to go in and see project photos, RFIs, and reviewed submittals. Vendors like that the email they get out of Procore does not require that they actually go into Procore, (i.e., the reviewed submittal is attached), and they can find the email remotely if it is needed in the field. Where we aren't getting as much buy-in is with the architects. As more and more contractors use Procore, that issue will fix itself.
- It has helped consolidate the business practices of our many project managers who were used to doing things "Their own way". The consistency has been helpful in time management, and company-wide comprehension in project review. Anyone coming into a project "mid-stream", can easily grasp the progression of it.
- Obviously, web storage is much preferable to paper trails. It has effected the way we look at culling other unnecessary paper hording.
- It has helped immensely with overloading our server in both electronic file storage, and Outlook.
We chose Procore because our company accounting uses Sage, and we wanted that integration.
