Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Procore is used for drawing management, inspections, observations and photo storage. It is becoming a common tool in construction projects. However, supportive departments like building equipment and financial departments, are yet to implement. Same goes for the earthwork department.
It addresses non-compliance instances; it reveals the number of drawings issued in each project.

Pros

  • Drawing processing is the biggest strength.
  • Ease of use and how quickly field staff adapts to using the application on smartphones.
  • Easily adapted to Icelandic building methods.

Cons

  • Firstly, Procore does not speak Icelandic. Secondly, to run/operate the same project in various languages at the same time would be beneficial.
  • Drawing processing adapting to the Icelandic best design practices. Icelandic/European drawing headers are not understood by Procore.
Procore stacks up due to the fact that is designed as a top-down tool, meaning it chases the reasons behind selecting, i.e. a door in a project, how the designers and client approved on a door. Other programs reviewed are Northern European programs focused on field staff and how the door is installed and finished -- not who bought the door and decided upon the color.
Not fully known or experienced yet.
  • It is a too short time from implementation in the project I manage to evaluate fully. I implemented Procore in the project in October of 2018.
  • Gain visibility into projects
  • Ensure information is accessible and up to date
  • Document job site conditions
  • Report on incidents and inspections
  • Identify job site risks
Visibility and transparency into all projects that have implemented the same tools from Procore.
I am unable to come to terms with the Meeting Tool. I am unable to keep notes on the phases I do in a word document.
Procore seems to be well suited for larger organizations, whereas smaller businesses might sway away from purchasing the program due to financial reasons.
