Boston Construction Manager Monitor Builders Selects Procore Construction Project Management Software

Monitor Builders Inc. (MBI), the construction management affiliate of architectural firm DiGiorgio Associates, Inc. (DAI), has chosen to standardize its project collaboration and communication on Procore's construction software. Boston-based MBI specializes in meeting the unique needs of the healthcare industry. MBI is using Procore to enhance the coordination between project team members working on major hospital and healthcare centers throughout the Northeastern US.

MBI often teams up with its affiliate DAI, which provides planning, architecture, engineering, and interior design services to clients. MBI then steps into the process to take over the management of complex construction phasing. Successful project coordination is vital to reduce the impact of construction operations on staff, patients and the overall function of clients' healthcare facilities.

Procore is part of the technology toolset that MBI uses to ensure that authorized project team members have seamless access to a centralized source for project documents, contracts, submittals and RFIs. Because Procore is web-based, access can be granted to any team member with an Internet connection, regardless of whether they are employees of MBI, DAI or an external sub-contractor or trade partner. Documents can be shared via email or web access, and communications such as RFIs and submittals can be handled using respondents' regular email software, on any email device -- including smartphones.

MBI selected Procore after using the software for over a month on a pilot project. This ability to try out the system before deciding to move forward with standardization is a clear advantage when Procore is compared to older, client-server technologies. MBI also does not have to invest in purchasing server equipment to run Procore, and all of their project team members receive unlimited training and support at no cost.

"With over 25 years of experience designing and building specialized healthcare facilities, the team at MBI and DAI knows exactly how much value tight coordination adds to the construction process, " noted Procore CEO Tooey Courtemanche. "Procore is proud to be selected as a key technology component that is helping to ensure MBI's continued leadership in their industry sector."
