Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've been using Procore daily across 100+ projects to help manage the project drawings, submittals, and changes to the scope of work requested by the entire project team. We've had several jobs that had their bottom lines saved because of the ease-of-use of the documentation that is possible within Procore. Our foreman on the site, superintendents visiting, and project managers can easily take photos of what the site looks like at any time and utilize the photographic record to easily substantiate any claims and also protect our installed work against trade damage so we get compensated for rework that is required.

After using Procore for two years, it's hard to imagine not having a solution like it to manage a project at any level of complexity. The ability to give everyone access in a way that is standardized across the company, no matter who we have run it, makes adding and replacing people throughout the project lifecycle a much less daunting task.

Systems Integrated With

We are currently adding more integrations to our Procore account.

Daily Logs

Our daily logs are far more detailed, and we are better able to look through them for specific information on the project to help keep track of when we are accomplishing work to be able to go back and create tickets for work required after the fact.

Procore Impact on Talent Retention

When we hire new operations personnel and we show them all of the things that we currently use Procore for, they are amazed at the ease and the level of detail possible. We are finding that our project managers and foremen love the ability to interact on the same documents across each of the types we have. Procore eliminates the need to ensure that everyone is looking at the same version. We all are.

Likelihood to Recommend

Procore is well suited to anyone who runs a project that requires keeping track of drawings, change management, and submittals. You can: bid sets of drawings and add the markups needed to keep track of what is happening on a job, make changes, and easily track when drawings were changed. Procore helps you track all of the pricing you have sent, from easy screens, and see what stage each potential change order is at. You can see what has been submitted, what needs to be submitted still, and what you are waiting for.
Procore was a lifesaver for us on a job where trade stacking was the norm on the project. We had a schedule that was rapidly becoming impossible, with 2-3 sets of drawings revisions per week. Needing to incorporate them and track the costs associated with them, we had all of the evidence we needed at the end to argue for the compensation we deserved. The photos we had, the markups on the drawings that everyone could build from, and the tracking of everything that made our work harder gave us an iron-clad argument for compensation and earned us hundreds of thousands of dollars on one project alone.

Going pro with Procore.
