Do you have questions about how to use Procore? We’re now holding daily online question and answer sessions that can make you a Procore power user.
You can attend these sessions from any location with a phone and Internet connection. The phone is used to take part in a group conference call, and the Internet connection makes it possible for you to view and take part in screen sharing on your computer. You’ll be able to watch as a member of our Procore Support team walks you through the exact steps needed to answer your particular question. Plus, by listening to the questions other people have and watching their screen sharing session, you can pick up valuable tips and tricks on how to manage your construction projects with Procore.
Procore’s online Q&A sessions are held every day at either 11am or 1pm PST (depending on which day of the week you’d like to attend). In order to obtain a dial-in number and meeting code, call Procore at 1-866-477-6267, or send an email to support@procore.com.
One great benefit of using Procore to manage your projects is that pre-construction projects can be put on the system for FREE.
“Pre-construction” means that the project hasn’t broken ground yet—but a pre-construction project still has a lot of data that needs to be organized. Using Procore for a pre-construction phase project gives you a central location to track RFIs, manage project-related emails, store documents and archive site photos.
Procore clients only start paying for projects once the course of construction phase has begun. Once we see that the project has broken ground, we’ll start charging for the monthly project fees—but until that time, our clients are welcome to start their project management at no cost.

Procore CEO Tooey Courtemanche authored an article for the August, 2007 issue of Construction Business Owner magazine that lists some of the important considerations to keep in mind when selecting construction project management software.
Tooey relates several tips on what to look for during your software search, including:
- Limit your search to solutions that are easy to learn and use. Use an impartial source such as www.softwareadvice.com to compare features and functionality.
- Explore time-saving solutions that leverage e-mail and cell phones as data entry devices.
- Choose an application that enables you and your team to access project photos, images and documents in one online location.
- Go with a product that sends out RFIs automatically until they’re closed.
The article contains much more detail, and should help you find the construction project management software that’s right for your business.
