(NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, today announced the findings of a new study that measures the value of project management software for construction owners and contractors. The <strong>Quantifying the Value of Project Management SmartMarket Brief<\/strong> demonstrates that project management software is an essential tool that creates immediate value, and\u00a0high user skill and expertise unlocks its full potential to increase operational efficiency and bottom-line impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe construction industry is at an inflection point where realizing the full potential of technology requires more than just implementation. The data shows that investing in technology alone isn\u2019t enough; it must be paired with an investment in people,\u201d said Kris Lengieza, VP, Global Technology Evangelist at Procore. \u201cOptimizing adoption transforms a valuable tool into an engine for margin growth and operational excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross every metric we measured, including cost control, schedule performance, and productivity, organizations with advanced project management software skills delivered measurably better outcomes,\u201d said Donna Laquidara-Carr, Director, Industry Research at Dodge. \u201cThe takeaway is not only that technology creates value, but that strong digital competency reliably amplifies it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study, which surveyed more than 1,100 owners and contractors, evaluates project management software usage and the quantifiable benefits experienced across four key categories: improved data gathering and analysis, process improvements, better project performance, and increased business benefits. Respondents were categorized across an expertise spectrum, from light users to highly skilled, innovative adopters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Creating Immediate Benefits for All Adopters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All organizations, even those with lower adoption levels, report immediate, tangible improvements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The majority of <strong>light adopters<\/strong> and users proficient in only basic features at both owner and contractor organizations report immediate improvements in data gathering and data quality, including increased accuracy, more actionable data, and reduced errors from miscommunication or outdated information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More than 50%<\/strong> also experience improved communication and collaboration, partly due to the ability to share more reliable data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over 70% <\/strong>of owners are able to handle more construction volume, while more than half of contractors see improved productivity and operational efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Driving Greater Benefits Among Higher Skilled Users\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The research clearly demonstrates a powerful correlation \u2013 having greater project management software skills consistently delivers greater benefits. The extent of these gains is striking.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On average, <strong>more than 80%<\/strong> of respondents at the top of the expertise spectrum experience benefits across all four major categories.<\/li>\n<li>In contrast, respondents at the lower end of the expertise spectrum <strong>range from 31% to 66% <\/strong>benefit realization, depending on the category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Improving Bottom-Line Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adopters that are highly skilled not only experience a higher number of benefits but also realize a stronger return on investment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>83%<\/strong> report that overhead costs are reduced by 5% or more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>77%<\/strong> report increased profit margins, with a median increase of 4 points.<\/li>\n<li><strong>77%<\/strong> see productivity gains for their leadership\/executive teams, while 69% see gains for their project management\/operations and finance teams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>76%<\/strong> report that project delays are reduced by 5 days or more on average.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Delivering Increased Efficiency and Performance for Owners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The study also reveals enhanced benefits for owners with high expertise, specifically impacting capital efficiency and overall project performance. These owners report major improvements, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>90%<\/strong> agree the software has enabled their teams to manage more capital projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>88%<\/strong> believe their projects now meet or exceed quality benchmarks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>83%<\/strong> have experienced improved cash flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>83%<\/strong> have seen a noticeable reduction in project delays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.construction.com\/resource\/construction-management-value\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Quantifying the Value of Project Management SmartMarket Brief <\/em><\/a>to get more detailed information on the results.<\/p>\n<p><strong><small>About Procore<\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Procore Technologies, Inc.
