The construction industry has undergone a digital transformation over the past decade. Project teams now coordinate through sophisticated cloud platforms, managing everything from RFIs and change orders to daily communications and document workflows. Procore has emerged as the industry standard, with thousands of construction companies relying on it as their central nervous system for project management.
But what happens when construction projects end up in litigation?
The Construction Litigation Challenge
Construction disputes are uniquely complex. A single project can involve dozens of stakeholders, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, owners, and inspectors, all communicating across multiple platforms over months or years. Critical evidence might exist in:
- Project RFIs and responses
- Email threads discussing scope changes
- Document version histories
- Daily logs and field reports
- Collaboration notes and decisions
When this data lives in Procore, legal teams have faced a significant challenge: how do you collect, preserve, and process this information in a forensically sound manner for legal review?
A Breakthrough for Legal Technology
We’re excited to announce that ModernETL now supports forensic collection and processing of Procore cloud data. This integration represents a major breakthrough for construction litigation, enabling legal and compliance teams to bring Procore data into their existing review workflows alongside other critical data sources.
How It Works
Sandline ModernETL proven microservices architecture; already trusted for processing mobile forensics, Teams, Slack, Symphony data and 10+ other data sources now extends to Procore. The platform performs comprehensive collection of Procore project data and transforms it into RSMF files optimized for Relativity, the industry-standard legal review platform.
But it goes beyond simple data extraction. ModernETL applies the same advanced capabilities to Procore data that it offers for other sources:
Universal Threading groups related communications across platforms, so you can see how a Procore RFI discussion connects to related mobile messages or Slack conversations.
AI Summarization leverages Sandline’s ModernETL AI capabilities to generate intelligent summaries of project communications, helping legal teams quickly identify key decision points, disputes, or critical timeline events.
Flexible Processing Options allow teams to organize communications by day-range, weekly range, or single messages, adapting to the specific needs of each case.
Real-World Impact
Consider a construction defect case where the central question is: “When did the contractor first become aware of the waterproofing issue?”
Previously, legal teams might spend weeks manually reviewing Procore exports, trying to piece together communications across RFIs, daily logs, and email threads. With Sandline’s ModernETL Procore integration, that same data can be forensically collected, processed with AI summarization highlighting potential awareness indicators, and threaded with related mobile and email communications, all ready for review in Relativity within days instead of weeks.
Looking Forward
The construction industry’s digital transformation continues to accelerate. As project teams adopt more sophisticated collaboration tools, legal technology must evolve to meet the challenge. Sandline’s ModernETL Procore integration is part of our broader commitment to supporting the diverse data sources that matter in modern litigation.
Whether you’re handling construction defect claims, delay disputes, payment controversies, or workplace incidents, having comprehensive access to project-level communications can make the difference between a strong case and a missed opportunity.
The foundation of construction has always been solid groundwork. Now, your construction litigation data has the same advantage.
