Case Study: Bernards builds an AI-ready data foundation with Procore

Bernards uses Procore to unify project data and catch risks in real time

Bernards, a commercial builder and construction management firm, faced the challenge of managing vast amounts of inconsistent project data across dozens of complex sites. This fragmented approach, relying on spreadsheets and manual processes, made it difficult to assess true project health, wasted engineers' time on data scrubbing, and forced risk identification to rely on gut feeling rather than hard data. To address this, they turned to Procore to establish a disciplined data foundation.

The solution involved standardizing all project data on the Procore platform, creating a single, structured source of truth. With this AI-ready foundation in place, Bernards deployed Procore AI to automate tasks like RFI and submittal review. The results included real-time tracking of leading indicators, predictive risk identification through AI agents, and a cultural shift towards data-driven coaching. Procore enabled teams to bridge the gap between perception and reality, reclaiming time for high-value decision-making and strategic oversight.
