Preconstruction Report (Beta)

The Procore Analytics Preconstruction Report provides immediate insight into the effectiveness of your bidding and estimating processes. It highlights packages with low coverage, allows for side-by-side bid comparisons, evaluates vendor reliability, and tracks estimate accuracy throughout different design phases. With direct links to Procore for quick actions, this report enhances competition, improves cost control, and supports more confident decision-making.

Report Pages

Bid Coverage

The Bid Coverage report page provides Preconstruction teams with a real-time overview of bidding activity across all projects. This helps them quickly identify areas with strong, weak, or at-risk coverage. By highlighting under-covered packages and indicating which vendors have submitted or committed to bids, the report enables teams to take prompt action to enhance participation, ensure healthy competition, and minimize risk exposure. This page helps preconstruction managers to stay ahead of potential issues by making it easy to monitor open bid packages, track vendor engagement, and prioritize follow-up actions in areas that need immediate attention.

Bid Leveling

The Bid Leveling report page provides Preconstruction teams with a centralized view of all vendor bids. This page allows them to compare pricing across different packages, identify outliers, and evaluate vendor performance with confidence. By combining current bid data with historical trends in responses and awards, this page helps teams confirm that the scope is complete, ensure fair competition, and make informed decisions about awards.

Note

By default, the page displays a company-wide overview across all projects. Use the Estimator or Project filters to narrow down to a specific project and review the bid packages and estimate forms relevant to that project.

Trade Coverage

The Trade Coverage report page highlights trades and regions with low vendor participation, enabling teams to quickly spot coverage gaps and understand where competition may be scarce. From this page, users can also access the Procore Construction Network to find additional vendors for the chosen trade and region.

Note

The number at the intersection of a trade and region indicates the average number of vendors submitting bids per project for that trade and region. Use this metric to identify areas with limited competition. Click on the value to access the Procore Construction Network and explore more vendors.

Estimate Comparison

The Estimate Comparison report page helps you understand how your project estimates evolve and develop across different design phases. By comparing any two versions of estimates side by side, you can quickly identify scope changes, cost fluctuations, and variances at both high and detailed line-item levels. This page provides you with clearer insights into why estimates change, where significant differences arise, and how closely your estimates align with the final budget. It ultimately supports better forecasting, scoping, and decision-making for future projects.

Note

To get started with the Estimate Comparison page, select the estimating project using the slicer on the page. Then choose the estimate you wish to compare against the primary estimate.

Estimate to Actuals 

The Estimates to Actuals report page provides a summary of the differences between your final estimates and the actual costs of the project. You can analyze this variance by project, cost code, or estimator, allowing you to identify who is the most and least accurate in their estimates. The charts highlight the top projects, cost codes, or estimators with the largest variances.

Note

You can define what “Actual” means by selecting either the Revised Budget, Original Budget, ECAC, or Projected Budget.
