Conducting a site visit
The site visit inspection form is intended for trained field operators that are accustomed to conducting site visits for multi-family buildings in the NY market. We can easily create templates in Procore that provide guidance for non-trained users or different markets. For more information please reach out to .
Please see to find the project related to your site visit. The sales qualification site visit workflow currently begins when a Salesforce opportunity is created. This triggers a project to be auto-created in Procore with the following information: location, project number, project name, and Salesforce opportunity ID. A link to the Procore project is added to the Salesforce opportunity.
If you are working outside of this this workflow it is possible that your project does not exist yet, Select your project, scroll down and select the Inspections tile. 4. Create an Inspection for a site visit.
Click the orange + in the top right to create a new Inspection.
Select either the NYC or East Bay Sales Qualification Visit as your template.
Projects created before 5/31/23 may not have these templates and will have to be imported to the project, please reach out to an admin for assistance.
You can create an inspection on that project and the location should be populated automatically.
5. Your site visit inspection is ready be filled out.
Procore will auto-save as you go. To add a photo, click the info icon on a field.
You can annotate photos to provide more information.
For Android Users
The inspection experience is notably different for Android users. See screenshots below.
Select the arrow on the inspection item you would like to add a photo too, then select the attachment icon. You can add a photo from your device or take a photo.

6. Complete your site visit inspection
Set the inspection status to “closed”.
Select Edit at the top of the screen.

This will trigger an automation that posts the completed inspection to the #completed_site_visit slack channel, adds it to the site visit media field in SFDC, and Populated the Lease Offer Request data field in SFDC.
BDRs and Building Engineers use the slack channel to be notified of completed site visits and move forward with conducting a energy analysis and lease offer generation.
