Sage Construction Suite

Sage is a good value for the the money I paid

Comments: Despite their short comings,I can tell you that sage 300 is the best management software out their with good value for money,and I highly recommend it for either large or small real estate or construction companies.

Pros:

What I like is the face that sage helps me to boost my project productivity, limiting errors, improving correspondence among parties,and creating adjustible reports

Cons:

I have been using this software for a while now and my only issues us that I still cant remove some dormant account.that is my only issues

Sage 100 Contractor is a value adding 'asset'

Comments: Real and full visibility and near real time results. Utterly refreshing and makes my job that much easier. Excellent reporting.

Pros:

Sage 100 C offers employment costing solutions. Following budgets vs. real expenses is crucial in the construction sector, and Sage 100 Contractor assists us (my client and i) in meeting this demand.

Cons:

Data migration form the old software and Implementation was full of glitches but the client support were always available and willing to assist.

Functional ERP, not particularly user friendly

Pros:

It has just about every feature one could need in a construction ERP.

Cons:

User interface is not particularly great - very easy to screw things up with one misclick.

Estimate Management

Comments: Overall Sage SQL Estimating is a very stable and robustly powerful estimating tool.

Pros:

One of the best things about Sage SQL Estimating is the ability to breakdown an estimate into an unbelievable number of different ways allowing both company standard breakdowns and complex bid form breakdowns at the same time. This also allows standard estimate formatting across all different divisions of our company while working together to complete very large estimates.

Cons:

The two most limiting drawbacks of this software is the inability to create a specification driven takeoff system. The second drawback is the ability to error check the takeoff against a specification to make sure the entry is conforming to the specification and/or is correctly entered. Some of this can be done through assemblies, but not all of this can be done and is why this is very limited for the use of Process Piping System.

Sage 100 Software by General Contractor

Comments: We are a general contractor and we probably don't utilize all the bells and whistles available in the software that a subcontractor might use to their benefit. We were mislead on the reports available when we purchased the software and spent significant dollars getting a custom report to suit our needs. The software has been very reliable.

Pros:

Integration of accounting information with project management information; Real time information/status of the job; Ease of using drop-down to source; Ability to export information to excel and third party reports.

Cons:

When the vendor is shown on a report or screen and the vendor number isn't. The reports section is missing a comprehensive (in detail) project manager report that captures and compares budget, contracts, change orders, purchase orders and costs to date. Learning how to use change orders as they impacted reports was difficult.
