Why are Construction Management Platforms Important

How Technology Has Revolutionized the Construction Industry

We asked our customers why construction management platforms are important, and how Procore, specifically, has helped their companies achieve success.

Construction management platforms have proven to be highly beneficial for construction companies of various sizes and specialties.

These platforms — particularly, Procore — offer a vast amount of tools, integrations and a number of other benefits. Their most agreed-upon advantage, though, is their ability to consolidate all project information into one place, eliminating the need for multiple, disjointed systems.

As Chris Wright, EVP of Operations Support at Nabholz Corporation, told us, “Being able to put the information in one tool, in one place, and having everybody look at the same information, really creates a sense of direction.”

With that in mind, let’s dive in to see what some of our other customers had to say about the importance of construction management platforms and centralizing project operations.

Chapter 1

Implementing a Shared Platform to Enable Shared Wins

Using a single platform to access project information promotes efficiency in every area of project management, from streamlining workflows to enabling real-time communication. Instead of spending valuable time and effort searching for scattered documents or reaching out to various sources, team members can rely on a centralized system that consolidates accurate, easily understood data.

“When it’s a single platform where I can find all of the information I need for that project, it really does help me and my team achieve the results that we’re going after.”

By allowing every part of a project to be completed in a cloud-based platform, companies empower their teams to work together for improved project outcomes and shared wins.

Centralizing Information to Reduce Risk

When everyone has access to the same information, it becomes easier to align goals, coordinate tasks, and maintain consistency throughout a project. A single source of truth means having less room for confusion or errors stemming from outdated or conflicting information. Any updates or revisions can be made in real time, and stakeholders can refer to the platform to quickly ensure they’re up-to-date on any step of a project’s process, avoiding unnecessary mistakes or delays.

“Centralizing it all in one location means everybody is always getting the same information and the most current information. It’s a master source all in one place, and there’s no more risk of people using prior versions or outdated information.”

With Procore, users have the benefit of using a powerful platform that was created exclusively for their industry. That means every detail was designed with construction in mind, from usability to scheduling and even data analytics.

“Since people from construction have built Procore for people in construction, it has built processes that are exclusive to the construction industry.”
