Amplify your Estimating Power with these Advanced Components:
QuickBooks Integration
Since QuickBooks is the most popular accounting system for small to medium businesses, we've made it easier than ever to integrate your current accounting system with the most powerful project management system for construction professionals. From your construction estimate in ConstructionSuite™, you can create a fully dynamic and flexible Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks, then launch QuickBooks estimates, invoices, and purchase orders automatically. With all new features such as the ability to import actual construction costs into your estimate, Insurance Tracking, and Transaction Logging, you'll benefit from the most advanced integration available for QuickBooks and project management software.
QuickBooks Integration is included in ConstructionSuite™ CM Contractor versions and above.
AIA Application for Payment
Any contractor who's ever completed AIA payment applications by hand knows what a cumbersome process it can be. With integration between UDA Construction Estimating software, QuickBooks and the new Application for Payment system, you'll never again struggle with completing AIA G702 and G703 forms. Automatically create industry-standard payment applications that you can print on AIA G702 and G703 forms, and rely on the powerful ConstructionSuite™ database to track all previous applications for each project you work on.
Application for Payment is included in ConstructionSuite CM Catalyst versions and above.
Advanced Change Order Management
Properly documenting change orders is one of the key factors in keeping your project costs on target. In ConstructionSuite™, you can now enter, track, and manage project change orders quickly and easily.
