Overall Satisfaction with Procore
I am a consultant on several hundred construction projects. I have been signed up for Procore on several projects without my permission by contractors using this program and it is a complete waste of my valuable time. At one point I was getting 50 emails a day that had nothing to do with me. I called Procore and asked them to stop sending me emails and they refused. I had to threaten them with legal action to stop them from sending me emails.
It has made me very angry that I have to deal with this annoyance when I am so busy trying to work. Who do they think they are breaking the law sending emails to people that don't want to use their stupid program. This needs to stop. If I was a lawyer, I would be suing them right now for all my wasted time.

- It wastes your time very well and annoys me with every useless notification I get
- Procore should not be able to send emails to people without their permission. This needs to change and proper permissions should be obtained before sending any emails.
- It is extremely difficult to get Procore to stop sending you emails
- It has cost me thousands of dollars in wasted time.
- It has increased my blood pressure as every useless email makes me angry.
- I have made new friends with other consultants that hate this program.
The impact this has had on my organization has been all negative. It has wasted both my time as well as my inspector's time. From a consultant point of view, it is a nightmare. I don't know any consultant that likes this program. I have over 200 construction projects on the go right now and every consultant I know feels the same way about being forced to use this awful program.
It has slowed me down considerably wasting my time with unwanted emails. I have wasted time phoning Procore trying to get them to take my email address out of their system with no luck. I have files 2 complaints to the CRTC now for violation of email privacy laws that they continue to break.
There are many good project management software options available but this is not one of them. Most other programs do not send out useless notifications to team members when it has nothing to do with them. One called "Newforma" is way better. You get a link to download what you need to look at, end of story. There are no repeat notifications over and over on items that do not concern you.
