Review Summary

Chaska, Minnesota homebuilder On the Level has been using Procore's Site Pro for five years for construction scheduling, job log management and communication. President Chris Thompson said Site Pro has better organized its jobs, simplified scheduling, and provided better record keeping for jobs than the manual methods they had used in the past. For example, a subcontractor can check in before he shows up to make sure that his work has not been postponed from problems with other jobs, Thompson said.

With Procore's Web-based project management software, trades are able to look at the daily log and find our which other trades showed up at the job resulting in better job scheduling and organization. Thompson noted, "We never used to keep a daily job log. It's nice to get all the information [such as emails] on a disk when the job is complete….In this day and age," he added, when firms must be prepared for litigation, "you've got to have complete records of all this and more."

Procore is ideal for custom builders. As Thompson explained, "Trades are able to look at the daily log and find our which other trades showed up at the job resulting in better job scheduling and organization."

Overall, Thompson rated Procore's Site Pro a 9 out of 10.
