Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Knowing a contractor is using Procore to manage the construction site is always helpful as an engineer. It lets me know that all of my RFIs and questions will be on one site and they will all come through in predictable formats and methods. I know that sub contractors will have access to the documents quickly and will be working off the same set of plans as every one else.

Pros and Cons

Pros

RFI creation and management
Document tracking
Product Submission and conversations

Cons

RFIs that result in another RFI being created still results in a logistical mess
Tracking conversations and finding meeting minutes can be cumbersome
I'd love to see better markup of construction documents

Return on Investment

Contractors pay for it, it is included in the price of a bid. But as an engineer I know that a contractor that has paid for this will utilize it well

Systems Integrated With

AI meeting minutes is probably the biggest add-on that we see. It helps knowing that something is taking notes and they do a very good job at it now. There are a variety of them and I think most of the ones that I have seen are able to output a good document.

Likelihood to Recommend

For construction projects where a design team, owner, and contractor are working together, especially on items that have a months long or years long schedule this is an amazing product. I could see it being overkill for short projects or projects with minimal design team interface. Things like restriping a parking lot or painting a wall that are more maintenance may not benefit from the software. But new construction where you want to make sure that architects and engineers are all aware of the on-site conditions this really helps us.
