Construct makes the management, hiring and paying of subcontractors easy, by centralising vast amounts of data and making subcontractor information easily accessible.

Take control over when and how much to pay subcontractors, track their performance rating and enjoy complete peace of mind about subcontractor quality and compliance.

From verifying CIS statuses online to insurance and CSCS card tracking, you can quickly access subcontractor data, including their history, quality and availability, as well as automatically producing invoices and letters, and Construct’s unique integration into Sage accounts means there’s less hassle and more efficiency.

Internal and external plant and machinery used for construction projects can cost a lot more than just the rental price if poorly organised; without effective plant management, hired equipment can be left onsite longer than necessary or even not returned on time, incurring expensive fees which are easily avoidable.

Construct for Sage allows users to generate plant purchase orders, record on- and off-hire dates and automatically calculate plant costs which, unlike managing plant with spreadsheets, allows you to save money and avoid vendor charges that can impact a project’s profitability.

Managing plant more effectively means improved operational cashflow; tracking plant with greater accuracy allows construction companies to clearly see and monitor committed plant costs, while historic data enables you to decide whether to buy or hire machinery in future for optimum cost effectiveness.

Many construction companies don’t accurately track purchase orders, losing visibility of costs by using complicated, unwieldy spreadsheets that are difficult to control and report on. With only a limited view of your company’s costs and sparse detail, it’s impossible to make informed decisions and plan ahead.

Construct for Sage allows you to create purchase orders against specific items, such as materials or labour giving you total visibility not only of costs committed, but also budgeted vs actual costs. For complete accessibility and truly streamlined processes, the Construct Mobile Delivery Notes app, makes it possible to accurately capture deliveries and events on-site and compare them to original orders and invoices back at the office – all in real time.

Staying on top of large amounts of information across multiple data sources and spreadsheets can be a challenge. It’s time to gain a single version of the truth on the performance of all your contracts.

Key to any successful construction business is the ability to access, understand and utilise information with ease. From contract budgeting and job costing to PO processing and managing subcontractors, there are serious losses to be made if even a little information is disparate or poorly managed.

Construct gives you a real-time view of how a job is performing, allowing you to allocate budgets to each individual job and raise purchase orders against the contract as the job nears completion. You’re in control of how much to pay subcontractors and when, giving you peace of mind regarding compliance and quality.

For small- to medium-size construction companies, claiming retentions held or owed by your construction business, can be a lengthy, complex process. Whether it’s reliance on manual spreadsheets, having to chase up overdue payments or simply trying to keep on top of multiple applications across different projects, there’s a lot that can go wrong.

Our Construct for Sage software helps manage the payment application process whilst tracking retentions by offering greater project visibility, and ensuring both contractor and clients stick to deadlines, minimising the chance of errors arising, ultimately saving your business time and money.
