Sage Construction Software

Designed for the UK construction industry and used by almost 1000 UK construction companies.  Sage Construction costing software, builds on the expertise Sage has in providing accounting software and makes it specific to your industry.  The integrated cost control module manages job costing, variations, CIS, retentions, valuations, applications and many other processes specific to the UK construction industry.

Sage Construct Advanced

For companies who require a fully integrated solution, Sage Construct Advanced, is built around a core job costing system, you can add multiple variations, track subcontractor insurances, generate purchase orders, delivery notes, plant hire PO's, create valuations based on your costing structure which convert to applications, then invoice and create numerous reports. Sage construction software fully integrates with both Sage 50 Accounts and Payroll, or Sage MMS / Sage 200.

Other Modules in the range

In addition to the core construction software, there are Estimating and Reactive Maintenance modules which add to the functionality in Construct Advanced. With the Estimating module, users create client quotes based on a schedule of rates, mark them up, then send all quantities, values and descriptions to the costing module.  Reactive Maintenance is for companies who need to bill Cost Plus maintenance work.

No standard accounting package caters specifically to the unique processes which exist in the UK's construction industry,  incorporating Sage construction software can provide a fully integrated approach. All job related transactions are entered through the Construction interface so you can report on and maintain job cost information, whilst the transactions post through to your Sage accounting software. Double entry is eliminated because the data flows from Sage Construct directly to your Sage Accounts and Payroll software.

Accessing your data through Sage Construction software could not be easier, from a range of reports including several Work In Progress Reports (WIP,) contract and aged application reports. If you have more specific requirements from your reporting the Sage report writer is incorporated, alternatively ICA, Intelligent construction analysis, is a flexible method of reporting on your live data from Excel.

Enter a purchase invoice into Construct and the financial information posts to your accounts, you will probably see 3 transactions in your accounts, one for the purchase invoice itself, the second for a CIS deduction and the third only if you are holding retentions. Once you pay your sub contractor in the accounts, your software will read this information back and do all calculations necessary for the online CIS return, then print your subcontractor statements.

You can report on jobs at any stage, showing actual costs, verses committed costs, against your budgets, enabling you to identify any potential overspends before they happen.

Finance or stage payments are available to help you spread the cost of your investment by up to 3 years.
