Overall Satisfaction with Procore

We are a plumbing subcontractor. We use Procore for Drawing and Photo storage, RFI's, Daily Logs Change Orders. Drawings, Photos, Daily Logs, and RFI's are accessible to all of our authorized users for a particular project, and Change Orders are available to those at a higher authorization level.
  • Drawing & Photo Storage
  • Daily Logs
  • Change Event To Change Order Conversion
  • RFI and Change Order Management
  • Needs to be more subcontractor friendly. The process of just getting to Change Orders is far too time consuming.
  • A separate subcontractor platform with ONLY subcontractor friendly modules would be great.
  • Time Savings/Increased Efficiency - RFI and Change Order processing time was reduced by approximately 25%
  • Increased Efficiency - RFI notifications for past due RFI's allow us to follow up so as to not delay the work in the field.
  • There are no more forgotten Change Orders. The Change Order Log is easy to read, review, and cross check with our accounting system during a job reconciliation.
We were looking into eSub, which has some pretty good features to it. Procore has most of those features, and that, coupled with the fact that a lot of general contractors we work for use Procore, helped us to determine that Procore was our best choice.
  • Ensure information is accessible and up to date
  • Document job site conditions
  • Report on incidents and inspections
  • Simplify employee time tracking
Drawings - These ensure everyone has the most up to date project files.
Photos - These allow everyone to see what the guys in the field are seeing.
Daily Log - Our customized Daily Log allows us to track equipment, deliveries, workforce, inspections, delays. That, along with the ability to attach photos and files, creates a complete daily report.
Change Events - This module allows us to start the creation of a change that will eventually turn into a Potential Change Order.
Time Tracking - We don't currently use Procore for time tracking as it doesn't suit our needs. It would be nice if one day Procore were to acquire a timekeeping company that allows an individual to clock in and out on their own. If Procore could roll this feature into its platform, it would benefit a lot of subcontractors.
We have benefited from Procore's collaboration tools on several projects. The streamlined and time-saving process of RFI to Change Event on the general contractor's side to PCO on our side helps keep the project moving forward as quickly as possible.
Procore is very well suited for almost any general contractor, regardless of size. Procore is suitable for subcontractors looking to keep better track of their projects.

Integrating Procore

Procore is relatively easy to integrate for most office staff. Procore is slightly more difficult to implement for a subcontractor's field staff, especially those less familiar with current technology.
