In this video, James Merritt from Bmore Technology and Dustin Sitten from Incite Automation sit down with ABC Greater Baltimore to explore a question many construction leaders are asking today: What comes after Procore?
They dive into why some firms are rethinking Procore’s fit for their business and how alternative approaches – including custom workflows, Microsoft tools, and rebuilt systems – can offer greater flexibility, lower costs, and a more tailored experience for construction operations.

Why Some Construction Companies Are Rethinking Procore
Procore has been a dominant construction management platform, widely adopted for its project tools and cloud‑based collaboration. But as Dustin points out in the session, many organisations have begun to feel the strain of increasing costs and platform limitations – especially when APIs become more restrictive and renewal pricing rises. This has left some firms feeling “locked in” without the flexibility they need to innovate.
The key takeaway from the discussion? It’s not always about abandoning Procore entirely, but re‑evaluating whether it still aligns with your workflow, budget and growth strategy.
Exploring Alternatives: Tools You May Already Own
One of the most impactful parts of the session is how Dustin demonstrates that many businesses already have powerful capabilities embedded in the software they already subscribe to – particularly within the Microsoft ecosystem:
-
Microsoft Power Automate: A low‑code workflow automation tool that can cut down on repetitive busy work and streamline approvals, notifications, or project setup tasks. Wikipedia
-
Microsoft Power Apps: A platform for building custom mobile or desktop applications to handle job site activities, approvals, time entries and more – without needing traditional development. KMS Software
These tools can help you build bespoke solutions that match how your business actually works – rather than forcing your teams to adapt to rigid software workflows.
Use Cases: Real‑World Construction Solutions Built With Microsoft Power Platform
During the video discussion, practical examples include:
-
Automated folder structures and document generation when a new project kicks off
-
Custom forms and attendance tracking using Power Apps on mobile devices
-
Automated project notifications and approvals built with Power Automate
-
Integration across systems – for example, connecting CRM updates or subcontractor data into your master project systems
These aren’t theoretical tools – they’ve been implemented by construction firms to solve real productivity challenges using tech they already own, lowering both cost and complexity.
What This Means for Your Business
If you’re evaluating your construction software stack, here’s a simple three‑step takeaway from Bmore Technology and Incite Automation’s conversation:
-
Assess fit, not just familiarity – If Procore feels costly or inflexible, it’s worth understanding why and what alternatives might work.
-
Look under your subscription hood – Tools like Power Automate and Power Apps are often already included with Microsoft 365 licences and can be used to automate and customise workflows without expensive add‑ons.
-
Partner strategically – Custom automation and bespoke tools work best with experienced guide partners – whether for infrastructure first (Bmore Technology) or software automation (Incite Automation).
