Construction Accounting Software Testimonials
What do current contractors have to say about FOUNDATION for Windows construction accounting software? Plenty.
These contractors have excitedly told us how FOUNDATION for Windows has helped them work smarter. Like the construction owner who, before FOUNDATION, used to rely exclusively on spreadsheets for reporting. Or the controller that enjoys the flexibility of running job reports on the fly, for any day with the detail that he chooses. Or the Office Manager that can now easily create AIAs.
Foundation loves hearing about these successes. In fact, we are so committed to building long-term, successful partnerships with contractors that we regularly survey our clients to learn what could help them become more productive and profitable.

We can't place a value on the
confidence they [FOUNDATION's reports] provide our project
managers. That benefit alone creates a marked improvement
on our bottom line. More quantifiable, however, is the increased
business volume - nearly 50% over the past few years. This
growth is directly attributed to better technology, aggressiveness
and improved financial information.
– Ron Felix, Chief Information Officer, Lighthouse Electric Company, Inc. |

Because FOUNDATION runs on
a Microsoft SQL database, we knew the integrity of the date-sensitive
data was ensured. We also liked the user-friendly format,
the complete integration between modules, and how it easily
integrates with external interfaces.
– Dale Winters, Vice President and Assistant General Manager, HTH Companies |

Since implementing the software, it has become the backbone for all we do. There is now a consolidation and integration of jobs into one easy-to-understand flow of information. Not only does this help with decision-making, but it also helps each person know what part they play and how it contributes to the whole. And thanks to superior reporting capabilities, there is never any question about whether or not jobs are balancing.
We found FOUNDATION for Windows' reporting truly remarkable.
In a single click I can see how we are performing as a whole
- then keep clicking for details. I can list all jobs that
make up my job cost totals. I can retrieve cost code lists
that make up individual jobs. I can even pinpoint cost class
detail, such as labor, and see each employee that's worked
on the job. These precise details provide peace of mind that
I am making the right decisions.
- Neil Patel, Vice President, East/West Construction |

FOUNDATION is one of the most advanced construction
accounting products on the market and an ideal system from a
CPA's perspective. It provides both timely and accurate information
that will enhance their ability to manage the financial side
of a contractor's business - a win-win situation.
– Gary Fortier, CPA , L&G Technology Solutions, Inc. |
 |
We like to track quantities and estimated
vs. actual costs of our self-performed work. FOUNDATION for
Window's flexibility in job cost reporting and ability to easily
tie into outside software, such as Excel, were deciding factors
in making the change.
– Rick Pavelick, CFO, Landau Building |
 |
Implementing FOUNDATION forced upon us a level of discipline we did not have before and helped us grow our business. We budget jobs very precisely now, which was not the case before, and we are tracking the actual vs. the budget at all times.
– Jacob Margalit, Owner/Founder, Golden West Marble Inc. |
 |
Having been through this process before (three times) we had seen the gamut of construction accounting systems. FOUNDATION for Windows was impressive, and we took great care to run it through numerous tests to make certain it fit our needs. Equally impressive to me was the knowledge level of their sales representative and support personnel.
– Laurie Milewski, Office Manger, S & S Electric |
 |
I could have literally wallpapered a small
office with the spreadsheets that I regularly used for our accounting
and job analysis. Now I can track job progress in man hours,
material costs and receivables. What peace of mind. If I could
go back in time and do one thing differently, it would be to
start using FOUNDATION earlier in our company's growth process.
I believe my business would be a lot further along today had
we done so.
– Charles Brown, Owner, Charles Brown Electric, Inc. |

At year end, when it came time to close the books and payroll, I was thrilled to find how easy it was with FOUNDATION. I simply had to check a couple boxes to prevent any posting back to the previous year, then close at my leisure. That was fantastic, and it was the first year, for as long as I've been in bookkeeping, that I didn't have to work the holidays.
– Jane Bryant, Office Manager, Cary & Associates Builders, Inc. |
 |
The most drastic change occurred in the
area of payroll. Biweekly payroll, which used to take me all
day to figure manually, could be completed in just a few hours,
from start to finish. Employee W2s now take a fraction of the
time to complete - and we have nearly twice as many employees.
– Elaine Barrick, Office Manager, Ryan Remodeling |
 |
The quality of training we received in FOUNDATION far exceeded our expectations. The training/technical support staff worked around our schedules and responded to our questions and needs throughout the entire process of conversion.
– Bob Thomason, Controller, Henry Gurtzweiler, Inc. |
 |
FOUNDATION handles all necessary union accounting
and reports. We needed a reliable program when it came to producing
AIAs. Our previous system couldn't handle this accurately, and
it was time to make a switch. All of our problems were solved
with FOUNDATION for Windows.
– Marsha Friedberg, Office Manager/Bookkeeper, Devecka Custom Construction |
 |
The ease of use and the amount
of time saved with FOUNDATION's AIA billing is great. Previous
billings are there, and you just need to insert the current
amount due. The same thing applies to certified payroll.
- John Jacobs, Office Manager, Ruhlman Brothers |
|
Just being able to run job
reports at any level of detail for any period - whether it
be for a day or week - at a moment's notice is an incredible
tool for our project managers. FOUNDATION's reports also offer
so many other options when you're running them - from the
way they're sorted by cost type to filtering them by project
manager. Each report option can give you answers to many different
problems.
– Richard Dennis, Controller, JDS Construction |
