"Why Procore is an Estimator’s Best Friend"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Procore?

Procore is an excellent, user-friendly platform that centralizes our entire preconstruction process. The biggest upside for my daily estimating work is having contractor directories, active project bids, and all associated documents completely organized in one single space. I do not have to worry I am bidding from an outdated set of plans. Because it is an industry standard, most of our partners and contractors already use it, which makes collaboration seamless. I also recently completed an estimating certification and was impressed to discover even more hidden features and tools Procore offers that will continue to improve our workflow.

What do you dislike about Procore?

I would say the one downside of Procore is that its effectiveness relies entirely on 100% user adoption across the board. While many of our industry partners use it, some contractors, subcontractors or vendors resist using the platform altogether. When a subcontractor refuses to submit their bid or documents through the portal, it forces us to manually bridge the gap, which temporarily defeats the purpose of having a single automated system.

What problems is Procore solving and how is that benefiting you?

How it benefits me in my day to day estimating is the centralized contractor directories, open project bids, and blueprints are in one single cloud-based repository. I don't have to waste my time hunting through different folders, emails, or internal servers. Everything I need to price a project is instantly accessible in one space. The other great benefit to an estimator is I know I am not bidding from outdated plans. We all know there are going to revisions and updated drawings and there is nothing worse than sending in your bid on what you thought were the latest plans. Procore syncs the latest drawing sets, RFIs, and addendums in real-time, instantly notifying all parties of revisions which is a huge asset for eliminating financial risk and preventing costly mistakes before a project even kicks off.
