Frequently Asked Questions
What is Procore and what does it do?
Procore is a cloud-based construction management platform that connects all project stakeholders—owners, general contractors, and specialty contractors—across the entire build lifecycle. It centralizes project communication, documents, and workflows, offering tools for preconstruction, project management, resource management, and financial management.
How much does Procore cost?
Procore does not publish its pricing, operating on a quote-only model based on a company's Annual Construction Volume (ACV) and the specific modules selected. Buyer reports indicate annual costs can range from approximately $10,000-$25,000 for small general contractors (under $20M ACV) to $50,000-$100,000+ for enterprise contractors ($200M+ ACV), with additional implementation fees in the first year.
Is Procore worth it for a small trade business?
Generally, Procore is not recommended for small contractors, especially those with under $10M in annual revenue or simple residential projects. Its complexity, high cost, and extensive features are often overkill, requiring significant time and resources for implementation that may not justify the return for smaller operations.
Does Procore offer training or certification?
Yes, Procore offers free, self-paced online training courses and professional certifications. These include foundational and role-based certifications tailored for various construction roles like Project Manager, Superintendent, and Subcontractor.
Does Procore integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes, Procore offers integrations with both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. These connectors facilitate the syncing of financial data, contacts, cost codes, and attachments between Procore's ERP platform and QuickBooks.
Is Procore a CRM?
While primarily a construction management platform, Procore includes integrated CRM functionalities within its Preconstruction and Bid Management solutions. It's designed to manage the 'bid-hit' nature of the construction industry, tracking leads, opportunities, and the estimating process, rather than serving as a traditional sales CRM.
