Top Builder AI for Procore
Top Builder AI is the AI back office for contractors who run projects in Procore and books in QuickBooks. Five self-learning agents, Workforce, Routing, Documents, Financial, and Collections, plus a Pricebook engine read your Procore project, financial, and document data, reconcile it to your actual QuickBooks general ledger, and turn it into deterministic, audited recommendations a person approves before anything changes. This guide explains what the app does, which Procore tools each agent reads, how to install it, and how your data is handled.

01 What does Top Builder AI do for Procore contractors?
Top Builder AI is the AI back office for contractors who run projects in Procore and books in QuickBooks. Five self-learning agents, Workforce, Routing, Documents, Financial, and Collections, plus a Pricebook engine read your Procore project, financial, and document data and turn it into deterministic, audited recommendations a person on your team approves before anything changes. It costs $3,000 per month for up to 25 people, and Procore stays your system of record.
We never replace Procore’s project-management workflows; we run the analysis it was not built to do, reconciled to the general ledger it does not hold. Every figure the agents produce, every dollar, hour, and gap, is computed by deterministic, unit-tested code. The language model only writes the human-readable explanation; it never computes a number (our “figure firewall,” see §6). So the recommendations are exact, auditable, and reproducible.
The five agents, plus the Pricebook engine
- 👷 Workforce, forecasts understaffing and avoidable overtime a week out, by trade and crew, and checks payroll math before it runs.
- 🚚 Routing / Dispatch, skill-correct, drive-time-optimized field assignments that also weigh margin and overtime, fully advisory, your scheduler decides.
- 📄 Documents, classifies, extracts, and routes every inbound document, RFI attachment, and vendor bill to the right project, contact, and folder, and flags expiring certificates of insurance.
- 💵 Financial, GAAP-correct job profitability, over-billing and under-billing per job, and a 30/60/90-day cash forecast, reconciled to your actual QuickBooks general ledger.
- 💳 Collections, works your A/R aging worklist around the clock, drafts dunning email, SMS, and call scripts for a lead to approve, and tracks every promise-to-pay.
- 🏷️ Pricebook engine, Procore has no pricebook, so this runs on vendor price files you upload (CSV or XLSX): it re-costs your materials to the cent as vendor prices change and proposes each update for human approval.
Two agents do not ship on Procore, and we say so plainly. Booking and Inventory are ServiceTitan-only today, because Procore exposes no customer-intake or inventory feed, and we would rather scope coverage honestly than claim it. The Financial and Collections agents read your books through QuickBooks Online; that accounting connection is activated per customer during install and fails closed until then, meaning the agents say “not connected” rather than guess a number. The full agent-by-agent breakdown is on the agents page.
The agents are advisory by default: each one proposes, and a person on your team reviews and approves. Each agent can be set to Off, Approve-first, or Auto, with a full audit trail and undo on every action, and money and legal actions always require a department lead. They also self-learn from your approvals and edits, per tenant, isolated to your account, so the wording and judgment improve over time while the math stays fixed.
02 How does it reconcile Procore to QuickBooks?
Top Builder AI treats QuickBooks as the financial source of truth and Procore as the project source of truth, and reconciles the two on every cycle. The Financial agent reads budgets, prime contracts, commitments, change orders, direct costs, and invoicing from Procore, reads the general ledger, A/R, and A/P from QuickBooks Online, and flags every place the two disagree, so the margin, cash, and job-cost figures you act on match the books you file. Every figure is computed by deterministic, tested code; the AI only explains it.
The two systems drift for ordinary reasons: a committed cost in Procore whose bill has not posted to QuickBooks yet, an owner payment deposited in QuickBooks but not applied against the corresponding Procore invoice, retainage carried differently in each system, or a change order approved in one and never mirrored in the other. A sync tool moves records between the two; it does not tell you which numbers disagree or what to do about it. Reconciliation is the analysis layer on top: match, compare, flag, and propose the fix for a person to approve.
The cost of doing that by hand is measurable. Larger small firms with 10 to 99 employees report spending an average of 25 hours a week on manual data entry or reconciling data across apps, per a 2024 Intuit QuickBooks survey (Intuit QuickBooks Business Solutions Survey, 2024). That is the back-office tax the reconciliation loop is built to shrink. One honest caveat, repeated on purpose: the QuickBooks connection is activated per customer during install and fails closed until then, so the agents never guess at a ledger they cannot see.
03 Which Procore tools does each agent read?
The app requests the minimum read scopes each agent needs, and the Procore install ships the five agents plus the Pricebook engine listed in §1. Every row below is read access; nothing in this table writes to Procore. (Write-back, when you enable it, is covered in §4.)
Across all agents, the app reads from Procore’s Project Management (Projects, Schedule, RFIs, Submittals, Drawings, Daily Log, Directory / Contacts, Correspondence), Project Financials (Budget, Prime Contracts, Commitments / POs, Change Orders, Direct Costs, Invoicing, Forecasting), Field Productivity (Daily Logs, Timesheets, Crews, Production Quantities), and the Documents tool. Booking and Inventory are ServiceTitan-only agents and are not part of the Procore install. You grant access during the OAuth consent step (§4) and can revoke it at any time from Procore.
04 How to install, the OAuth consent flow
Installation is a standard OAuth 2.0 authorize-and-consent flow. You stay in control: you authorize the app from Procore, and Procore, not us, issues the access token. We never see or store your Procore password.
Start the connection
From your Top Builder AI Command Center, choose Procore as your platform and click Connect. (Or install from the Procore Marketplace listing.) You are redirected to Procore to sign in.
Review & authorize on Procore
Procore shows you exactly which tools the app is requesting, the read scopes in §3. You review them and authorize. If you are a company admin, you can scope which projects the app may read.
Token is issued back to us
Procore returns an authorization code to our callback; we exchange it for an access token and a refresh token, which are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) in a per-tenant vault. No passwords are stored.
Read & advise, read-only by default
The agents begin reading the data above and surfacing recommendations in your dashboard. Nothing is written back to Procore. You see value before anything changes.
Approve write-back when you’re ready (optional)
If you later enable a write action, it runs through the gate below, never automatically.
Write-back is always propose, approve, execute
Write-back is off by default and behind a master switch. When enabled, every action is proposed by an agent, approved by an authorized human, executed idempotently, written to an append-only audit log, and reversible (with a compensating undo). A per-agent autonomy setting (Off / Approve-first / Auto) governs this and defaults to human-in-the-loop. We never auto-apply a financial, pricing, or document change from model output.
You can revoke the app’s access at any time from Procore. On revocation or offboarding, the stored tokens are invalidated and your data is deleted on request (§6).
05 What data we access
We access only the Procore data the agents need to compute their recommendations, the read scopes listed in §3. Concretely, that is your project data (projects, schedule, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, directory / contacts), your financial data (budgets, prime contracts, commitments / POs, change orders, direct costs, invoicing, forecasting), your field productivity data (timesheets, crews, production quantities), and your documents.
- Read-only by default. The app reads this data to analyze it; it does not write to Procore unless you explicitly enable a write action through the approval gate (§4).
- Per-tenant isolated. Your data lives in our database isolated to your account by Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS, enforced, not advisory). We do not pool, aggregate, or share insights across customers. One tenant’s data, and any learned rules, can never reach another tenant.
- Minimum necessary. We request the least access each agent needs, and you scope which projects the app may read during consent.
- No bulk export, no migration. The app does not bulk-export your Procore data and does not migrate Procore to a separate system of record. Procore remains your system of record.
06 Security & AI handling
Every tenant table enforces Postgres Row-Level Security with FORCE; the app connects as a non-superuser role, so isolation is enforced by the database, not trusted to the application. Cross-tenant reads fail closed, and isolation is proven by automated two-tenant tests.
Credentials and tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in a per-tenant vault; data at rest is AES-256 encrypted. Secrets are held in a managed secret store, never in source.
All traffic is served over TLS 1.2 or higher. US-only processing and storage; no offshore processing of customer data.
Every business number comes from deterministic, unit-tested code (ADR-0003). The language model only narrates results that were already computed; it can never invent, recompute, or shape a figure. The math stays exact and auditable.
The LLM (Anthropic’s commercial API) is used for inference only and is stateless per request. Procore data is not used to train or fine-tune any model. Our self-learning is per-tenant retrieval over our own database, recommendation, not model training, and it too can never touch a figure.
The model retains nothing between requests. We hold operating data in our RLS-isolated database; a tenant’s data can be purged on request, and all data is deleted on offboarding. Audit trails are append-only.
