Overall Satisfaction with Procore

As part of the design team, I work with Procore under the general contractor for construction administration services. During construction, we used Procore for submittal reviews, RFI responses, meeting minutes, and notes, as well as to receive and download them, to name a few.

Pros

  • I can add recipients to notifications that go out for submittals and RFIs—not putting it into my court, but I can keep track of what is being sent and responded to.
  • Emails of when something has been put into my court and reminders of things in my court.
  • files system that is easy to follow.

Cons

  • Due back dates on submittals and RFIs: The contractor can put a date that is already past or within 24 hours so that I can notice something in my court and also notice that I am late within the same day.
  • You are unable to see things like meeting notes unless you are specifically given approval from the GC, and the GC often forgets to give access to the full design team.
  • Can be a bit overwhelming when looking back for a specific submittal or RFI.
  • Saves time by having everything in one place.
Procore does not effect our hiring practices.
We have used Ebuilder. Similar to Procore.
