Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Managing multiple projects for multiple different general contractors at many different locations, Procore gives us one central hub to be the source of truth. Pushing drawings, RFIs, change management, and many other tasks through one cloud-based platform keeps us agile. Procore's mobile app also allows for the field teams to stay up to day with the latest documents and even allows the team to view the 3d model without leaving the app.

Pros

  • Drawing management.
  • RFI processing.
  • Drawing markups.
  • Change management.

Cons

  • Cross tool linkage.
  • User management.
  • Streamlined document management.
  • Decreased T&M to CO Time.
  • Increased budget and CO review and management.
Accounting integration of Sage300 (ERP) while this isn't perfect it does seem to be getting better. This integration pushes purchase orders and changes to accounting. Revit/AutoCAD integration - this brings the coordination model out of engineering and into the hand of the field. This allows the pipefitters, plumbers, and sheet metal teams to have an increased understanding of space constraints.
Digital mobile daily logs have increased communication from the field back to the office and has helped us keep track of manpower. This also makes us quickly aware of changes and adjustments the general contractor might be making verbally onsite. The reports tool pulling info from the daily log also quickly shows trends and delivers rich feedback.
We pushed a buildout of SharePoint pretty hard a while ago that ended up being too tedious and unforgiving. I have only used CMiC from the outside but it was difficult to see drawing updates and RFI or submittal workflow.

Procore offers up a fantastic drawing management tool expanding to RFIs and change management. As project drawing packages become are less and less complete at the time of construction a tool that can handle all of the updates is key. The availability of the tools on desktop/browser to also be available on mobile only further adds to Procores greatness. Procore is truly geared toward construction and the future high tech building processes coming.
