As the construction industry evolves, the boundaries between preconstruction and project execution are blurred. The industry has transitioned from a linear process with distinct boundaries between functions to a more integrated approach where coordination between teams is crucial. The big question is: How have the technology and tools relied on by preconstruction professionals kept pace with this evolution?  

Historically, multiple disconnected solutions have been the norm in preconstruction, stifling collaboration between teams, hindering productivity, and impeding the flow of information. The 2022 State of Global Preconstruction Report by Procore and FMI revealed that only 38% of organizations are satisfied with their preconstruction technology. Respondents cited the increasing complexity of projects, accelerated delivery schedules, and supply chain shortages that are the reality of our current market as reasons to invest in preconstruction. Those that invest in preconstruction have a competitive advantage. That same study revealed that organizations with effective preconstruction are likely to report 65% less rework, 52% more profitability and 35% less delays.  

Procore is addressing these challenges with connected preconstruction. Connected preconstruction unifies key preconstruction processes, such as BIM, Coordination, Estimating, Bidding and more, on one centralized platform. This will help facilitate collaboration, streamline and automate processes, centralize access to data, and improve project outcomes.
