Advantages of construction - specific solutions over generic spreadsheet applications
Significant improvements in estimating productivity can be achieved by adopting a vertical (construction-specific) estimating solution versus manual or generic spreadsheet methods such as Microsoft Excel. Many statistics are touted in the industry, with some sources actually assessing up to a 50% increase in productivity.
The Benefits of Integrated Estimating and Job Costing Software
You've got a slick cost estimating system that generates bids quickly and accurately, complete with line item quantities, costs, and "what-if" scenarios. Meanwhile, accounting upgraded from QuickBooks a couple years ago and is generating detailed job cost reports on demand. Sounds pretty efficient, huh? Not necessarily.

The last thing most construction executives want to worry about is their accounting software. But as your company grows, accounting becomes more complex and more integrated with operations. While a generic accounting package like QuickBooks or Peachtree got your business off the ground, it may be time to deploy accounting software designed specifically for the construction industry.
