Procore Technologies

Procore makes it easy to manage your prime contract, change orders, sub-contracts, purchase orders, commitments and payment applications. Project field staff get the information they need to know the details of a project budget, what's been spent, and who's been paid. Project impacts or change orders are clearly noted, and origination and approval dates are timestamped by Procore. Procore also allows for the generation of owner Payment Applications and commitment Draw Requests.

Procore makes it easy to create, distribute, approve and organize change orders. A single, secure online archive means that change orders are never lost or misplaced. Project impacts are clearly noted, and origination and approval dates are automatically timestamped by Procore's system.

Procore's change order process begins with the change order request, where users can employ Procore's construction project management software to create and distribute a change order request. A change order request can be marked as a PCO (Potential Change Order), or simply created and distributed for approval. Change order requests contain all of the needed data to help with construction project management -- the originator's name, the change reason, the schedule impact, which contract is affected by the change order -- it's all saved securely and accurately in Procore.

The change order request tool allows an originator to designate an approver, as well as an approval due date. Change order requests can be distributed to non-approvers using Procore's "cc:" email function. Attachments of any electronic file type can be made to the change order requests, with documents sourced from a Procore user's computer or directly from Procore's construction project document management archive.

Procore also makes it easy to track the current status of every change order on a project. Change orders can be viewed by approval status, payment status, and by which contract the change order affects.

Change order requests consist of specific line items organized by project cost code. Procore provides for several types of line items, including labor, materials, equipment, owner costs and more. Procore includes the ability to automatically calculate quantities and unit costs in order to display comprehensive sub-totals for every change order request.

Procore's construction project management software makes it easy to view change orders by approval status as well as payment status. Individual construction project change orders include payment and invoice information, so that construction project superintendent can quickly see whether a change order has been invoiced and paid (either in full or partially).

Procore's contract and change management tools also incorporate a robust payment application and draw request feature. The tool helps manage contract payment retainage and retainage release. Customer's enjoy the robust features that are easy to learn. When invoices are generated in Procore, all of the backup is stored in one place.

Overall, Procore's construction project management software makes it much easier to manage a construction project's potential change orders and change orders. Much more than just a change order log, Procore construction software is a full change order origination and approval work flow system. Managing a construction project's change order process without Procore construction project management software can be a tortuous, time-consuming process. Using Procore can bring efficiency to your change order process and increase the profitability of your construction projects.
