The combination of Procore's construction management platform, which aims to help positively impact and control construction outcomes, minimize risk and protect profits – along with BZI's one-of-a-kind steel erection, fabrication, and wall systems technology and processes – brings together two cutting-edge construction technologies. BZI Steel has integrated Procore's all-in-one construction management platform to make it easy for general contractors, specialty contractors, and owners to easily manage complex projects from start to finish, prioritizing jobsite safety while increasing efficiencies.

“BZI Steel and Procore are construction technology industry vanguards, and our relationship goes much further than just being a customer," said James Barlow, CEO of BZI Steel. "Our team has closely collaborated with Procore over the last year to quickly adopt their latest construction management software and provide product feedback to their team, which was warmly welcomed."

"At Procore and BZI, our cultures and commitment to customers are very much aligned. Both our teams are committed to improving the lives of everybody in the construction trades through technology and innovation,” said Will Lehrmann, head of product for specialty contractors at Procore. “This partnership demonstrates our investment in the specialty contractor market and we are excited to continue collaborating in years to come.”

The construction industry is ripe for the type of technological innovation that BZI Steel and Procore are providing. According to a recent McKinsey study called The Next Normal in Construction, the adoption of new technologies in construction is lower than in nearly every other industry. In addition, construction has the third highest death rate for jobs in the U.S., according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The good news is that 60 percent of those surveyed in the McKinsey study believe significant shifts will occur within our industry in the next five years and are ready to embrace new ways of doing business.
