    Additional Details—Procore charges an upfront annual fee by product and based upon Annual Construction Volume (ACV) - the aggregate dollar value of the construction work across the customer's projects. Procore contracts include access for unlimited users, customer support, unlimited data storage, and product enhancements, at no additional cost. Multi-year pools: Contract volume is set for the entire multi-year term and can be consumed at any time during that period to help smooth out variability in consumption. Volume opt-in: Up-front contractual pricing is put in place for additional volume that might need to be added mid-term, to increase predictability of costs. Renewal rate protection: Up-front setting of rates is locked now, so businesses can budget accordingly for future renewals and improve cost predictability in future years.

    I have used Procore in multiple scenarios and enjoy the project. HeavyBid is great for civil / underground companies as it is geared towards those sectors. Procore is great for general contractors.

    The company utilizes several platforms to achieve their overall project control goals.

    We've used Sage in the past and even though I would say it's on par, it did not provide the integration that we needed for our new systems and databases.

    I don't have any other to compare to, as my previous company we built a software system from the ground up that did all of these functions already.

    We used to use Estimating Link. It was very helpful in our transition to a larger company. It was like HeavyBid light, but also a fraction of the cost.

    Chose Procore
    I have used e-Builder and HCSS HeavyJob. Although those programs have great uses, Procore overall has been the best project management system I have used thus far. Every process a construction company would need is included in Procore and I feel as if these processes are …

    We selected Procore over HCSS due to more modules being available.

    We have also used Project Mates and Submittal Exchange. Procure is easy to use and I love the functionality.

    Chose Procore
    We selected Procore due to the fact that contract manager was being pulled from the market and Procore was the 2nd largest alternative. It manages financials well, though the proprietary software we had been using in conjunction with contract manager to manage document control …

    Viewpoint was difficult to use and learn. Procore I picked up within a 2 hour sit down with one of the other project managers. Easy to work through issues and figure out how to do new things. Help section is much more helpful than any other program I have used.

    NOT EVEN CLOSE!
    Most "Construction" software is dressed up accounting software and doesn't provide the tools, forms and integration that Procore does.
