Procore pushes AI deeper into construction workflows at Groundbreak 2025
At Groundbreak 2025 in Houston, Procore Technologies (NYSE: PCOR) announced new AI capabilities built into its intelligence layer, Procore Helix, along with enhancements to Procore Assist and the availability of Procore Agent Builder.
The message is clear: automate complex workflows, surface critical insights sooner, and drive better outcomes across preconstruction, build, and closeout-without leaving the Procore ecosystem.
What was announced
- Procore Helix: New AI capabilities embedded into Procore's intelligence layer to streamline work and decision-making.
- Procore Assist: Enhancements that bring faster, contextual support inside daily workflows.
- Procore Agent Builder: Now available, giving teams a path to configure AI-driven agents for repeatable tasks and routine processes.
Why this matters to construction teams
- Fewer manual steps: Reduce clicks and handoffs in multi-party workflows.
- Faster decisions: Get timely signals from project data so issues are addressed before they snowball.
- Consistent execution: Standardize how tasks get done across projects and offices.
Practical ways to evaluate and adopt
- Start with high-volume workflows: Think RFIs, submittals, daily logs, meeting actions, procurement routing, and closeout tasks. Map the steps and handoffs you want AI to assist.
- Define success upfront: Cycle time, approval latency, open-to-close ratios, forecast accuracy. Pick 2-3 metrics and baseline them.
- Pilot on one active project: Small cross-functional team, clear owner, weekly check-ins, two-week change windows.
- Set guardrails: Permissions, review steps, and audit trails. Confirm data retention and privacy policies with your admin and vendor.
- Plan for handover: Document the workflow, failure cases, and roll-back steps before wider rollout.
Questions to ask Procore
- How does Helix use and isolate project data across companies and projects?
- What human-in-the-loop controls are available for Assist and Agent Builder?
- How do these AI features integrate with schedules, cost management, ERP, and document control?
- What change management tools exist for versioning, testing, and approvals before production use?
- What's the pricing model, usage limits, and expected ROI benchmarks from existing customers?
Who benefits first
- General contractors: Faster coordination, fewer admin bottlenecks, more consistent project playbooks.
- Specialty contractors: Clearer action items, quicker approvals, and better documentation flow.
- Owners and developers: Earlier visibility into risks and a tighter feedback loop on cost and schedule impacts.
What to do next
- Nominate one project to pilot AI-assisted workflows and assign a project champion.
- Work with your Procore admin to enable features in a sandbox, then move to production in stages.
- Measure the impact and standardize what works across similar project types.
