Fast Certs, No Corners Cut: How ProCore Keeps Projects Moving

Written By Cameron Slack

IIn the world of fabrication, delays are costly — and more often than not, they happen at the final hurdle. The job’s ready to go, drawings are issued, materials are cut… but everything stalls waiting on engineering certification.

We’ve seen it time and time again: late-stage RPEQ sign-off becomes a bottleneck, even though the design is already done. That’s where ProCore steps in.

Understanding the Real Problem

Many fabricators and project managers face the same issues:

  • Certification turnaround times that blow out without warning

  • Drawings returned with markups that don’t reflect how things are actually built

  • Engineers who aren’t available when you need them most

It’s frustrating — and more importantly, it holds up delivery.

In our experience, these problems usually come down to a disconnect between engineering and the practicalities of fabrication. Designs might be solid on paper, but if they haven’t been reviewed with real-world constraints in mind, certification becomes slow, reactive, and costly.

Our Approach: Fast, Fabrication-Ready Certification

ProCore specialises in post-design engineering. That means we’re not here to redesign your job — we’re here to get it certified and ready to build.

We focus on:

  • Buildability – ensuring the design makes sense in a workshop setting

  • Compliance – covering all regulatory and safety requirements without overcomplication

  • Efficiency – fast turnarounds, minimal revision cycles, and a clear path to sign-off

And because many of our clients work with us on a monthly retainer, we’re able to give them priority access. No waiting in line. No slow responses. Just the support you need, when you need it.

A Certifier Who Understands Fabrication

ProCore’s background is hands-on. We’ve worked in and around workshops, sites, and shutdowns — and we know what it takes to get things built safely and quickly. That means our reviews are practical, and our markups make sense in the real world.

If something needs to change, we don’t send back pages of red ink — we pick up the phone and work through it with your team.

Retainer Support That Actually Works

We’ve found that retainer-based engineering works best for fabricators who have a regular flow of work and can’t afford to wait. It gives them:

  • Guaranteed access to an RPEQ

  • Predictable monthly costs

  • Fewer surprises, less stress

  • A responsive relationship built on continuity

It’s engineering support designed to fit into your workflow — not slow it down.

Keep Moving with ProCore

If you’re tired of chasing certs or dealing with engineers who don’t understand how you build, we’d love to help.

At ProCore, we move fast, we keep things simple, and we make sure your certification doesn’t hold up the job.

Let’s talk. We’re here to keep your projects compliant, buildable, and on time.
