Overall Satisfaction with Procore
Procore is used by JMB once a project moves out of the estimating phase and into the construction phase. We have not yet used Procure during the bid process, although we did purchase the bidding module and plan to utilize it in the near future.
The ability of our on-site staff to easily view electronic plans and specifications has so far been the biggest business problem Procore has addressed.

- Viewing and management of plans and specifications.
- Financial tools.
- Tracking of outstanding insurance and subcontracts/purchase orders.
- Daily manpower reports.
- Text entered in PCO's needs to populate/move over when moving from PCO to CCO.
- Could improve on the need to remove a contact and re-enter when they change their email address.
- Problems arise when a contact company shares one email address with all staff.
- There's a problem when a contact company has multiple company entity names with the same staff/email. For instance, Smith Construction and Jones Construction are owned by the same people with the same staff. If Joe Smith is already entered in the directory with email jsmith@smithconstruction.com, I am unable to enter him as a contact under Jones Construction with the same name/email.
We have started to allow access externally but on a very limited basis. Full access is provided to our internal staff whether they be in the office or field-based. However, we are taking baby steps in implementing access to owners, architects, and subcontractors/suppliers. We need to be 100% comfortable with the Procore system and its use to ensure will do not allow external users access to items we feel should remain internal. We understand that until we fully implement the external collaboration of a project, we will not see the full benefit of the Procore system.
