Overall Satisfaction with Procore
We use Procore to communicate all the documents and information related to construction projects managed by our employer. Mainly we used it for the approval process of documents submitted by the General Contractor (shop drawings, method statements, material approval, RFI's etc.). Another major use we had was the distribution of documents such as progress reports, engineer instructions, variation orders, letters etc.
Procore is very useful in easy communication within all the parties of the project. Everybody can access documents saved in Procore so that minimises the opportunity for disputes. By using Procore, anybody can access the latest version of a document which is very important in large scale projects.

- Very easy in managing approval workflows. You can take step by step approvals from the Structural Engineer, Architect, and lastly the Project Manager. This helps to minimise design changes.
- Very easy to share documents. Also, you can save the document in Procore, so that anyone can access it.
- You can use the project directory where you can find all the details of the people involved in the project.
- Dashboard shows the pending items which enable you can take necessary actions.
- Time it takes for the program to respond is relatively high. When the internet connection is poor, very difficult to use Procore.
- Some features are hard to use and there are not enough manuals we can refer to.
- If you not the admin for a particular project, you cannot delete a document even if you had uploaded it to a wrong folder. The document saving function is not very user friendly.
- Procore helps a lot in minimising disputes.
- It saves time since you can find the documents easily in Procore without requesting it from someone else.
- You can collaborate well which increases business relationships and creates future opportunities.
Mainly the integrations we used were Procore for Gmail, GoToMeetings and Microsoft Project. Gmail and Meetings functions were really useful in collaborating with the project team and helped to save a lot of time. MS Project integration was used effectively for project scheduling, tracking, changing the program accordingly and take necessary decisions where necessary.
