The Short Answer
Procore is a construction project management platform. Sitemark is a field verification platform for contractors using precision equipment. They solve different problems. Procore manages drawings, submittals, and RFIs. Sitemark logs grade shots, generates as-built reports, documents sewer inverts, and tracks calibration. Most contractors who need both use them together — Procore for project administration, Sitemark for field verification.
Procore is the dominant construction project management platform for large general contractors and owners. It excels at project administration: drawing management with version control, RFI and submittal workflows, daily log capture, photo storage, bid management, and subcontractor coordination. For a GC managing a large commercial project with multiple subcontractors, Procore centralizes the documentation that flows between all parties.
Procore's daily log feature captures crew sizes, equipment, weather, and site observations. Its photo module captures and organizes large volumes of site photos. These features are legitimate field documentation tools — and they serve the project management layer of documentation well.
Procore is not built for the field verification layer of construction documentation. It does not log grade shots with design elevation comparisons. It does not calculate deviations from a grading plan and flag failures in real time. It does not generate as-built reports from elevation data. It does not document sewer invert elevations at manholes with MH-to-MH grade verification. It does not support pad elevation certification workflows.
For a grading contractor, sewer contractor, or solar EPC crew, Procore's documentation capabilities are at the wrong level of abstraction. The field crew needs a tool built around elevation data, design comparison, and precision instrument workflows — not around submittals and RFIs.

The most common workflow for contractors on Procore-managed projects: the GC requires Procore for daily logs and photo documentation. The grading or sewer subcontractor uses Sitemark for their field verification work — grade shots, invert logs, as-built reports. The as-built PDFs from Sitemark get uploaded to Procore's document management. Both systems have their role; neither replaces the other.
Procore does not do grade verification, elevation comparison against design plans, or as-built PDF generation from field shot data. Procore is a project management platform focused on RFIs, submittals, drawings, and daily logs.
Yes. Many contractors use Procore for project administration and Sitemark for field verification. The as-built PDFs from Sitemark can be attached to Procore documents or daily logs.
For the field verification workflow — grade shots, deviation reports, as-builts, calibration records — Sitemark is the right tool. Procore does not offer these capabilities. If project administration features are also needed, using both is common.
Sitemark logs grade shots, generates as-built reports, documents sewer inverts, verifies pile elevations, and tracks calibration — all from the field, same day. Try it free.
