Sage Intacct Construction

Cloud Construction ERP Done Right

Construction contractors have suffered through clunky on-premise software for decades. Sage Intacct Construction changes that equation. Built on Sage's cloud-native Intacct platform — which Gartner has recognized for financial management — it adds construction-specific modules that actually understand how contractors work.

Job Costing That Contractors Trust

Every dollar gets tracked to a job, cost code, and cost type. The system supports both completed-contract and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition methods. WIP (Work in Progress) schedules generate automatically from job cost data. Subcontractor management handles retention, compliance tracking, and lien waiver workflows. This is the foundation construction accountants need.

AIA Billing and Progress Claims

Generating AIA G702/G703 documents used to require exporting data to Excel and manually formatting it. Intacct Construction produces these forms natively. Progress billing, T&M billing, and unit-price billing all work within the system. How many hours per month does your team waste reformatting billing documents?

The Intacct Financial Backbone

Underneath the construction features sits Sage Intacct's core financials — consistently rated among the top cloud accounting platforms. Multi-entity consolidation, dimensional reporting, and automated bank reconciliation all carry over. Construction companies with 5+ entities especially benefit from the consolidation engine that eliminates manual spreadsheet work.

Project Management Integration

While not a full project management tool, Intacct Construction connects budget-to-actual tracking, change order management, and commitment tracking (purchase orders and subcontracts). Integration with Procore, one of the most used construction PM platforms, bridges the gap between field and office.

Realistic Limitations

Sage Intacct Construction won't run your entire operation. It lacks scheduling, estimating, and field management — you'll still need Procore, PlanGrid, or similar tools. Pricing isn't public, but implementations typically cost $40,000-$100,000 with monthly fees of $400-800 per user. The learning curve is steeper than QuickBooks-based solutions like Foundation Software. And for residential builders or small specialty contractors, it's likely overkill.

Who Should Consider It

General contractors, specialty contractors, and construction management firms doing $10M-$500M in annual revenue. Especially those outgrowing Sage 300 CRE or QuickBooks and needing true cloud access.
