For big commercial construction operations, defining processes, using efficient documentation and keeping all stakeholders on the same page are the key contributors to your success. See how you can ensure your commercial project management stays on track by taking advantage of these popular ProCost features.


Involve all key stakeholders with efficient scheduling processes

ProCost Schedule feature can be used for way more than setting up project timelines. It has a range of functions that allow for efficient commercial project management.

When managing large commercial jobs, one of your top concerns is making sure all essential players are on the same page. With ProCost Schedule feature you can assign users for each job, which keeps everyone informed on what they need to do and when. Assigning team members and subcontractors will make for a seamless scheduling process.

And did you know you can also assign To-Dos? By assigning To-Do’s you can easily track what’s getting done and know who’s responsible for each task. Adding To-Do’s will streamline your scheduling processes and ensure accountability, alleviating the need to constantly check-in.

It’s also important to note that tools like our invoices can be linked to the Schedule feature. This will ensure that you stay on top of dates for when certain financial instalments are due or if the client needs to be reminded Reminders are automated prior to the deadline and there will be past dues reminders as well.

Use streamlined document control to keep everything in one place

It’s critical that you implement and maintain an effective documentation system to ensure your commercial projects are streamlined and easy to manage. Taking control of your document management will allow for easy day-to-day operations and limit the amount of time spent on searching.

Instead of having 12 texts, 15 emails, five drop boxes and a folder with over 30 paper copies, everything is stored and easily accessible in one place. ProCost offers unlimited cloud-based storage that allows all documents, files, photos and videos to be stored and organized for efficiency. No more searching through miscellaneous files on your computer or rifling through paperwork in a filing cabinet. Any files you need can be quickly found in designated folders for each job or within the Global Documents folder.

Managing all your documents from one central location will also help to keep everyone up to date. You can avoid additional work by allowing your field crew, office team and subcontractors to view and work from the same documents. Any markups or annotations made will be updated in real-time, eliminating the need for guesswork or backtracking.

Ensure effective communication and financial transparency

Communication is an important component to the success of any business but is essential when managing fast-paced and ever-evolving commercial construction projects.
