Procore now offers the capability to track LEED credits on any construction project. LEED certification can increase the desirability and marketability of almost any project, and may help to set a project apart from the competition. The challenge lies in tracking all of the information and documentation that supports the award of each LEED credit.
In response to customer demand, Procore has recently rolled out a LEED credit tracking feature. Using Procore, construction managers and LEED APs can associate individual submittals, change orders, and even project emails with specific LEED points. Using Procore to track LEED credits results in LEED documentation that is assembled as the project progresses, instead of “after the fact.” Associating project documents with LEED points during the project, rather than after project completion, makes it much easier to have all the proper documentation in place when it comes time to apply for a specific LEED credit.
The construction software experts at Software Advice recently examined Procore’s LEED capabilities and have a nice blog piece that relates their findings. During their conversation with Procore CEO Tooey Courtemanche, Software Advice noted that using a construction project management software application like Procore can help to reduce project risk:
“Project management software mitigates risk. There are big financial ramifications if you fall from a gold to silver, or off the podium entirely. As Courtemanche explained to us, “Just as accounting software has become a ’source of truth’ for financial reporting, project management software is a source of truth for LEED certification.”
LEED certification is too important to a project’s value—leaving the full documentation process until the end of the project is a new source of risk that can be mitigated by using Procore.
