Procore Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am the main project manager for a high end interior and exterior millwork fabricator. We specialize in anything woodworking and serve high end clients in Palm Beach and Jupiter Florida. I use Procore to organize everything. I use it to manage submittals, drawings, RFI's, and approvals during the drawing process. Procore helps me keep all parties involved and accountable to staying on track for timing and for all schedules. I use Procore everyday and it helps me not have things fall through the cracks as much as they normally would without Procore.

Pros

  • Manage Drawings and Approvals
  • Maintaining open communication between parties on the project
  • Organize all of the information for the project- details and specs
  • Clearly keep the details accurate and up to date

Cons

  • the mark up function could be better and more accurate
  • when there are changes- it should be very obvious- big RED letters or something standing out from the rest of the information
  • somehow add actual pictures with dimensions that you can use to reference and show specific rooms

Return on Investment

  • Helped me save time in searching for information
  • Helped me from making mistakes to being able to use as resources for information
  • Has helped me increase efficiency and staying on track

Usability

Great program for Consultants

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a consultant who reviews submittals, RFIs, etc. for projects in Procore. Procore makes managing paperwork for projects easier. It minimizes actual paper and most document review and approvals can be done electronically. The approvals go from one person to the next and the flow of the paperwork is maintained.

Biggest problem is slow downs in the program when uploading approved submittals and other documents.

Pros

  • Submittal review
  • Document storage
  • Listing of personnel involved in a project

Cons

  • Upload speeds
  • Files and documents could be better organized. But that is on the GC
