All the information entered into
Procore to create the estimate is
then pushed into a proposal format
that can be sent directly to the client.
Procore also stores a database of
your material, pricing, labour rates,
material rental rates, and other
information so that when it comes
time to update that, you can do it in
bulk.
Your materials database will be
entered at the time of partnership
with Procore.
" We have specific teams, " Moeun
explains, " that take your current data
and your information, your contact
list, your cost code list, your entire
catalogue, and puts it into Procore
for you. And we'll teach you how to
change and delete items as you
need to.
" When you've won the project,
typically in construction there are
things that are missed, or folks like to
change things up halfway through
and it results in maybe a change in
the budget. Folks are maybe spending
more, maybe less, and we can
use the estimating tool to find out
exactly what the cost difference is going to be and then push it into a change order. "
Timesheets Tool
Another way that Procore is advancing digitization in construction is through timesheets. This tool can help both administrators and contractors efficiently
process hours, without the use of paper.
" For electricians and specialty sub-contractors, a big timesaver is how we help collect hours from field staff, " explained Moeun.
If you are working with paper to fill out time sheets, digitizing that process can make it smoother and more accurate. It can also help you gain insight into
how long a particular job takes, which can factor into your quoting process by giving you more data to work with when estimating labour costs.
