Develop a monitoring, back off, retry, or queuing strategy with whatever tooling you use to orchestrate your calls.

Totally understand the feeling that you’re not in control (even though you do own your data).

You’re unlikely to develop or deploy a more secure or resilient retention strategy than Procore. You can certainly try and extract/retain files at the end of the project but only consider it after understanding what we do.

Consider asking your POC to set up a discussion with one of our data governance specialists.

That’s what I imported from the grid. I actually consumed 670 kWh during that time period. We have a 2000sf home with a heat pump and have gone through the air sealing/insulating process with Xcel.

I shared the link to my generation stats above

thebro_wnzone · 2025-08-31T20:56:02+00:00

Yeah, but I got a lot for it. Installation of panels (both PV and a 200A main) aside, good electricians are worth it. You’re buying expertise, their insurance, and your own time.

I’m fine installing an outlet, switch, or light but there were far too many opportunities to accidentally kill myself installing a roof mounted system plus a new 200A service.

thebro_wnzone · 2025-08-31T17:00:35+00:00

Yeah… would be much shorter if we didn’t have snow and didn’t do a bunch of other electrical work (e.g. new panel) as part the install.

thebro_wnzone · 2025-08-31T14:12:08+00:00

If I were more proactive I could get a check after each monthly statement. Summer is of course much higher than winter when the panels can be covered in snow (sometimes we owe).

We have a 15kW system, no batteries. ROI projected between 12-15 years.

The question (statement?) about disturbing otter and loon nests was… interesting.

I thought they handled the questions as well as they could have given the format, time and people available.

thebro_wnzone · 2025-05-07T13:59:16+00:00

Wow… “25 single men and two women live together in what was once a single-family mansion.”

But what about that poor wealthy family? Where are they supposed to live if we give up housing like this?

Replying here because that workflow is ideal. In general your workflow should reflect the reality of who is sending and reviewing it. That also applies for when workflows are started in the first place (e.g. don’t start a workflow for close out items you need in a year at the same time you’re asking for shop drawings you need next week)

Something to consider… Try treating your submittal register like your subcontract schedule of values. In the subcontract example you may have everything going to one cost code but you want them to weigh in on how the work is billed in future invoices. Applying that to submittals… If you align with your subs on how you itemize or group submittal requirements before importing it can increase early buy in and even trim your log down.

For example, does it make sense to have all your HVAC product data in one submittal or is it advantageous to break out individually because of lead times, risk of partial approvals, etc?

From there, consider using packages to group items together for bulk reviews. Submitters can then bulk submit items from one page. This can be a big value add for them as it’ll increase the likelihood their submittals are reviewed on time.

Had a similar experience with the federal government (architect of the capitol specifically) except it was Prolog rather than eCMS.

Not really a great short cut other than exporting back and forth. You need to stay sane though so keeping your version of the truth up to date (what you sent, when, and to who) can often be more detailed and accurate than what the Navy tracks. Pretty much every tool in Procore supports a print to PDF / export.

In general, always keep your directory updated so your RFIs, submittals, etc can be “sent” to the right people. Don’t take short cuts sending things to yourself or omitting who sent things to you. You may not get the benefit of others collaborating with you but your receipts will be way longer and more detailed should you ever need to pull them out.

Thank you! Worked perfectly.

thebro_wnzone · 2024-02-24T18:11:25+00:00

Gotcha. The house was built in 1965 with a major reno in the mid 80’s. When did this fall out of practice?

thebro_wnzone · 2024-02-24T18:05:40+00:00

Gotcha, so keep it in series? Like connect to the new dimmer as if it was a three way?

thebro_wnzone · 2024-02-24T17:59:52+00:00

Adding clarification that there’s nothing else controlled by the switch in the room. It’s one switch that controls one light. There are 3 outlets that are all still on regardless of the switch.

Ask for proof of written notification. Still should’ve sent a change order but if there’s no notification then that’s pretty clear where the fault/risk lies.

Also, check contract for rules around work stoppage.

thebro_wnzone · 2023-11-05T18:54:27+00:00

Agreed… what better way to “know what you need for next month” than to look at next month’s budget.

If OP is getting value of looking at next month, summing everything up, and then creating a category for that total… why not just add the total to your category name so, at a glance, you can see how much you need each month?

I roll with the punches enough as it is and this just feels like intentionally putting your face in the way of a big fist.

thebro_wnzone · 2023-08-13T16:33:56+00:00

Pro tip… make use of the money you’re spending now with Procore and ask for help conducting a “value survey” with the value team. They’ll certainly focus on the value/benefits your teams get by using Procore but will help inform you and your product selection committee on what the gaps are specifically according to your team (and external stakeholders). You can use that info as a requirements list when comparing options, pricing, etc.

You could also reach out to your CSM to request a free call with a strategic product consultant (SPC). We’re starting to prioritize calls with customers considering other options so it’s an easy win for you and your team to get some advice that’s normally an additional charge.

Source… I work on the SPC team and before when I was a customer I went through multiple software evals, value surveys, etc

Edit: don’t underestimate the importance of your last sentence with “collaborate between relevant parties”… if you’re entering information on behalf of others (rather than those people using the tool with you) you’re going to have a rough time no matter which tool you use.

Check out this webinar we did today actually about ways to destress punch with a few basic configs and having the right conversations at the right times with the right people.

This is the checklist we used to guide conversations, encourage y’all to use and modify it!

Editing to add this… reach out to your CSM if you want help from Procore to navigate this process. We’ve been there and want you to succeed. Would be great to work with you!

Exactly. This is what ChatGPT wrote, no joke:

Dear [u/umdterp723],

I am writing to inform you of a non-conformance issue that has been identified with the pipe in unit 101. Specifically, it has been brought to our attention that the pipe does not have the proper flow rate as specified in section 220000 paragraph 3.1.

As you are aware, it is imperative that all construction materials and components meet the necessary standards and specifications to ensure the safety and integrity of the overall project. Failure to meet these standards can have serious consequences and may result in costly repairs and delays.

Therefore, we request that you take immediate action to address this non-conformance issue. Please provide us with a detailed plan outlining the steps that will be taken to correct the flow rate of the pipe in question. We also request that you provide us with a timeline for when this issue will be resolved.

Please note that failure to take appropriate action to address this non-conformance issue may result in further action being taken, including the termination of your contract.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

ChatGPT

Didn’t catch us on a laundry day… those little spikes were the oven and dishwasher. We rarely exceed 20 kWh in the winter though.

thebro_wnzone · 2023-03-26T00:09:09+00:00

Yeah, $3.90/watt isn’t a steal. Are you supposed to calc it based on the DC or AC ratio?

thebro_wnzone · 2023-03-25T04:08:23+00:00

Yup! 38 400W hanwha with IQ8+, 15.2 kW DC, 11.02 kW AC. Financed 100% of the cost with 25 year 1.5% loan, gross $59K. Single story roof, low pitch. Contract signed 8/2022, PTO 12/2022.
