Construction accounting software FAQs

Construction accounting software is a specialised type of accounting software designed specifically for the construction industry. It helps construction companies manage their financial transactions, track expenses, handle payroll, create invoices, manage budgets, and generate financial reports tailored to the unique needs of the construction sector.

Construction accounting is different from regular accounting in a few key ways. First, construction projects typically have long lead times, so construction accounting software needs to be able to track the true cost of a job or project over multiple periods. It needs to support you in managing purchasing processes and revenue recognition over an extended period of time. Secondly, construction projects are often complex, with multiple contracts and vendors, so construction accounting software needs to be able to track all of this information. This might include mobilisation, costs, and field data capture. Thirdly, construction projects are often subject to regulatory requirements, so construction accounting software needs to be able to help companies comply with these requirements.

The cost of Sage construction software varies depending on the features and modules you need as well as the number of users.
