Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use TTrimble ProjectSight (Prolog) for a project in which I am doing construction administration for. The contractor that i am working with chose to use this product for organizing RFIs, submittals, construction documents and others. I use this on a weekly basis, checking any outstanding RFIs or submittals that I need to address. The architect, contractors and other trades use this product as well.

Pros

Allows marking up of PDFs
Notifies you if you have an outstanding item

Cons

It is not super clear which party needs to respond to clear out the RFI
Make it clearer on where PDFs are officially submitted
Allow users to tag others in the comment section

Most Important Features

RFI log
Submittal Log

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tried it for a short time for project management. We are primarily a structural steel fabricator and found that it is not as usefull for our needs as anticipated. This is more for general contractors and would be usefull for coordinating with multiple subcontractors and large projects. We are still looking for something that would suit our needs in a better capacity.

Pros

budget tracking
change order status and tracking
financial tracking/payment tracking

Cons

speed. Some items take a bit long to bring up.
more direct use for individual specifications

Most Important Features

scheduling
financial tracking
submittal tracking

Return on Investment

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company used prolog to track the progress of projects; using this for distributing information to subs, doing change orders and financial obligations. It is a helpful tool to have.

Pros

Change orders: great way to send and document official communications to subs and clients.
Drawings: always good to have drawings and info readily available.

Cons

A lot of steps, tad confusing
Very in-depth, not necessarily a con, but requires a lot of information

Return on Investment

Positive: kept jobs running smoothly, awesome tool to track and oversee projects
Negative: not much really, good tool, just very in-depth with information that is needed to fill in documentation
