Jonas Construction Software is a comprehensive tool designed specifically for construction companies and specialty contractors. It offers a wide range of features including accounting, payroll, service management, project management, and integrated operations.

Why I picked Jonas Construction: I included Jonas Construction in this list because, first and foremost, their software is designed specifically for the construction industry, with over 30 years of experience serving this niche. By tailoring its platform to meet the needs of mechanical and specialty contractors, Jonas Construction provides accurate construction reports and real-time cost and revenue data to support informed decision-making and profitability tracking at various levels.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include daily logs, project scheduling, and job costing, allowing for seamless integration between the field and back office for reliable decision-making. Other helpful features include work order management and billing tools, job costing tools, a client services portal, and tools to handle construction change orders, and RFIs. Jonas Construction even includes features to help manage your equipment and inventory, as well as documents and reports.

Integrations with QuickBooks, Procore, DocuSign, Microsoft Office 365, and FieldConnect.

Procore is one of the biggest names when it comes to construction-specific accounting and project management tools. It can handle enormous amounts of data and large file sizes, but can still work for small contractors that are just starting out. Procore is a great choice if you (or your IT team) need to customize your construction reports or project data in a certain way.

Why I picked Procore: Their platform can grow and adapt with your company to meet your needs as it grows. Procore syncs revisions between drawings and estimates to update all documents affected by a change in the quantity or unit price of materials. It also lets you turn accepted proposals into project budgets automatically.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include correspondence management tools—from specific project instructions to general day-to-day correspondence. Another key feature of Procore is that all data is standardized and easily searchable, helping to reduce miscommunications and errors due to manual entry.

Integrations include QuickBooks, Sage, Viewpoint Vista, Yardi, Acumatica, PeopleSoft, and Xero.

Acumatica Cloud ERP is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that provides integrated business management tools for various industries, including manufacturing, construction, distribution, and retail. The software encompasses a range of functionalities including project accounting, financial management, and construction management. 

Why I picked Acumatica Cloud ERP: As a construction accounting software, Acumatica Cloud ERP offers an all-in-one approach that seamlessly integrates all business functions into a single cloud-based platform. Its project accounting module, for example, integrates with the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll. This integration ensures that financial management is tightly coupled with project management, enabling contractors and construction managers to track project costs in real time.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include accounting, budgeting, cash flow management, and payroll. The software also tracks and manages project costs, budgets, inventory, and resources. Furthermore, the integrated CRM feature allows for the management of customer relationships while the detailed reports and dashboards provide insights into the overall financial health of your construction operations.

Integrations include Smartsheet, Assignar, ProEst, Procore, Celigo, Shopify, Amazon, DataSelf Corp, 1Retail, BigCommerce, DocuSign, Velixo, Heuristyc, Transcard, ShipEngine, ADP, and EazyStock.

Speaking from experience, I know how disheartening it can be to work with clunky, outdated software. Knowify is a cloud-based tool with a modern interface and extensive functionality.

Why I picked Knowify: It’s completely cloud-based and its time-tracking features allow your workers to clock in and out using a mobile app. You can also manage your entire invoicing process within Knowify, from creating and submitting purchase orders and change requests, to customizing and sending invoices. It also gives you the option to add an electronic payment link to invoices so you can (hopefully) get paid faster.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include plenty of custom templates for invoicing, proposals, and more. You can use these to make your bids and proposals look professional and really stand out from the competition, which should in turn help you to land more construction jobs. Knowify’s subcontractor management system helps cut down on paperwork, so you don’t have to worry about physical timesheets, shuffling paper back and forth between the job site and the office, or chasing down missing forms.

Integrations include QuickBooks, Square, ClockShark, CompanyCam, Billd, Fundbox, Lendflow, and Permits.com.

For a company with a lot of employees and subcontractors to keep track of, I recommend Foundation for its extensive payroll and timekeeping features.

Why I picked Foundation: Foundation’s payroll module has “smart system defaults” that can fill in timecard information with just a few keystrokes. It automatically syncs mobile timesheet data, and calculates pay rates, taxes, and deductions.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include automated timecard entry, payroll reports, and tax forms to help to cut down on paperwork and ensure everyone gets paid on time. Foundation’s accounts payable and receivable features also allow for efficient invoice entry and accurate financial reporting.

Integrations include CrewHQ, Estimating Edge, McCormick, Payroll4Construction, Arcoro, ExakTime, and FollowupCRM.

Sage has been a popular name in the accounting software business for over 40 years, and it designed Sage Paperless Construction to help simplify project processes and eliminate the need to shuffle physical paperwork around.

Why I picked Sage Paperless Construction: Construction job sites can be chaotic and messy places. It’s easy for paperwork to get wet, smudged, ripped, or simply lost. A paperless solution helps prevent many of the headaches that come with paper-based, manual processes.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include the ability to organize, store, and retrieve a wide range of construction-related paperwork. Its APFlow feature allows supervisors and managers to review, approve, and process these documents digitally—in the field or from the office. Plus you can capture, upload, and import any type of document from a mobile device.

Integrations include Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, or Sage Intacct.

CoConstruct allows for effective communication with your property owners and subcontractors. That’s useful for managing a complex mix of framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, painting, and other subcontractors and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Why I picked CoConstruct: If your business is constantly making proposals and bidding on jobs, as well as looking for new business leads, this is a great option. CoConstruct is designed to focus on summarizing and estimating project costs, while also helping you streamline project billing.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include its focus on project bidding and proposal data, which gives you the ability to create, compare, send, and store bids in a central place. Larger construction companies can submit hundreds of bids per year, and CoConstruct can bring a lot of efficiencies to the process. You can also use CoConstruct to communicate with all contract parties via email, text, and push notifications. This makes it easier to set deadlines, accept bids, and roll that information into a contract so everybody’s on the same page.

Integrations include QuickBooks, Xero, The Home Depot Pro Xtra, and Gusto HR/Payroll.

If your construction business is growing quickly and you’re finding it hard to keep everyone on the same page, then CMiC is the software I recommend. Its collaboration suite keeps all of your project bids, schedules, and summary data in one place so that nothing gets lost.

Why I picked CMiC: It centralizes all of your communications and documents for a project so your whole team can access the information they need at any time. Plus, all project documents are time-stamped and synced across the platform, so you know that your administrative team in the office and your people working on-site are looking at the most recent cost data and project change orders.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include its plan distribution and viewing platform, which lets you compare different versions of site specifications and design plans from a mobile device in the field. It’s great at job costing, with tracking and monitoring tools for all job materials, labor, subcontractor, and equipment costs. Additionally, the payroll management features are a nice bonus, too.

Integrations include Autodesk, Bluebeam, Comdata, DocuSign, Kofax, and PlanGrid. CMiC also offers API bundles for CRM, estimates and budgets, payroll processing, and other tasks.

Project managers are responsible for making sure that their construction project stays on budget. They need the right tools to accomplish that. DelTek ComputerEase has features that make it easy for managers to keep track of material, labor, equipment, and other costs.

Why I picked DelTek ComputerEase: It has the standard features you’d expect from accounting software, like a general ledger, accounts payable, and payroll. But where I think DelTek ComputerEase really shines is in its cost management features.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include mobile tools that allow you to proactively manage jobs, inventory, finances, and people from any location. Real-time job costing data, which is specialized for construction, also allows you to track labor, material, subcontractor, and equipment costs, enabling more proactive business decisions. Plus, its financial reporting features help with managing costs and cash flow.

Integrations include Procore, Bill & Pay, AvidXchange, Buddy Punch, Corpay, ConstructConnect Quick Bid, and Payroc.

Before you can start your next construction job, first you need to find and secure it. CoreCon helps you handle leads, bidding, and other parts of the preconstruction phase with ease.

Why I picked CoreCon: CoreCon has the features needed to streamline the entire pre-construction and job bidding process. Its real value comes before any real work begins, which shouldn’t be underestimated—because if you can’t efficiently follow up on leads and create bids, there are no jobs to work on.

Standout features & integrations:

Features include a cost database to quickly and accurately create cost estimates and proposals. You can quickly view and summarize all of your material and labor costs, so you don’t ever have to go searching or calling up suppliers. This can help you to win more jobs that you know will be profitable. Additionally, the software's invitation to bid (ITB) feature lets you easily broadcast upcoming job opportunities to suppliers and subcontractors, so interested parties can reach out to you.

Integrations include QuickBooks, Sage, SAP Business One, and Xero.
