Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Procore is extremely helpful with document control. For years we had folders in folders in folders full of drawings, specifications, addenda, etc., and it was always confusing because everyone had a different filing system. With Procore it has you use the issue date, received date, set name, drawing name, when you upload, which files everything based on date, so you aren't using the wrong documents to install work. A simple idea, but they execute it perfectly.

Pros

  • Document Control
  • Organization
  • Different Access Levels so Junior team members can't cause issues

Cons

  • Procore is so extensive that there is definitely a learning curve
  • While worth it, Procore is expensive
  • Could be optimized for better use for Estimators
  • Using the correct documents
  • Less tasks being missed due to RFI logs, etc.
  • Slows down the estimating process due to requiring too much information
None that I know of.
Procore is becoming more popular, so when we hire new employees, a lot of the time, they are already familiar with how to use Procore, so they pick it up very quickly!

Do you think Procore delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Procore's feature set?

Yes

Did Procore live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Procore go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Procore again?

Yes

Procore is well suited for use with document control and keeping documents, drawings, specifications, etc., organized. Procore is a little TOO detailed to use for something more "rough" like being using for estimating or "pre-construction" type activities, you have to put a little bit too much information in there for the proverbial "juice" to be "worth the squeeze".
