Overall Satisfaction with Procore
We are a small general contracting firm with an annual volume of 10MM - 30MM. Procore was implemented a year and a half ago, and has since been utilized on 6 projects. Procore was a huge help on the financial side, but not so much on the project management side.
- Change events and change orders are done exceptionally well in Procore. Very easy to issue subcontract change orders from approved change order. Fantastic was to track contract values.
- Photo management with timestamps and comments. Great collaboration and ability to send photos in a PDF form.
- Owner and subcontractor requisitions. Very fast and easy to use. Don't bother with formatting Excel files.
- Pricing. For smaller companies, the cost is a huge barrier to entry.
- Submittals.
- Email blasts. There are so many emails sent our automatically, it is hard to determine what is critical and what is mundane.
- Buy in from team members.
- Ease of use. Requires extensive knowledge and training to utilize to full extent.
The cloud-based aspect did not provide as large of a benefit as expected for our company. We are a smaller operation, with most of our work being performed with a 20 mile radius. There was not total buy in from our internal management, and that caused problems.
- I believe Procore is a great software for people who utilize is appropriately and have full buy in from all team members / management. For us, Procore was hardly a postive ROI.
