Overall Satisfaction with Procore
Procore is our core Project Management and Financial Management platform for our company. We deliver a diverse range of construction projects from Residential, Education, Commercial, Hospitality and Office Retail. All our projects are fundamentally delivered by Procore from our initial preconstruction tendering, project delivery including all contract administration, site reporting, document control, right through to complete project financial control including progress claims, budget reporting, payroll utilising its full integration with our accounting package. For us, Procore is a complete package. It streamlines our business and ultimately saves time. It allows us to be transparent with all stakeholders involved.
- Unlimited users - allows you to share as much or as little information with all involved in a project. Access is controlled by granular permissions templates.
- Support - There is always someone available to answer questions and the training videos are informative.
- Document control - We have found the drawing tool and its functionality a fundamental tool onsite.
- Site diary and photos tools - again these tools have become fundamental in our project delivery through their ease of use.
- Progress Claims. The format of the progress claim could be improved especially around entering cash retentions. We find this function could be improved upon.
- Timesheet approval and allocation to cost codes. This can become time consuming task when your staff are working across multiple projects in one week.
- Variations - The process of entering variations both for the Head Contract & Subcontracts could be streamlined. A lot of process required to prepare a variation.
- Efficiency & time savings - We have been able to grow our business without having to employ new people.
We have integrated Procore with our Accounting system utilising OneCore. This initially took a lot of setup but now works seamlessly. It again saves time across our projects and internal company administration.
We have found that our site staff are more engaged and use the daily diary tools for reporting on a more regular basis. Its ease of use makes these tasks easier and less demanding for site staff. Procore is a live environment, its platform allows site staff to make entries as they happen.
As a company, we have used Cheops. As an accounting package, Cheops was excellent but didn't provide a complete package whereas Procore does.
