Sage Master Builder Software

Since acquiring Master Builder from Intuit in 2006, Sage has continued this product's excellence and cemented it as one of the premier construction management suites currently available. The product focuses on the small to mid-market construction firm with revenues from $2 to $10 million. The product is well-suited for construction companies that work in home building, mechanical and HVAC, plumbing, residential remodeling as well as several other trades.

Construction firms that have maxed out the functionality of more basic accounting software packages are a great fit for this entry mid-market to mid-market solution. The software offers impressive accounting functionality that can be purchased in best-of-breed solutions. The accounting module has strong built-in features such as report drill down, which allows the user to dig into information on reports down to the transaction level, and strong construction reporting abilities. It also allows for projects to be billed in multiple different formats like AIA and item billing, contract billing, and materials billing.

The strength of this offering is that it provides construction firms the ability to handle all of their project requirements within a single system. In addition to being able to purchase a best-of-breed accounting system, firms can leverage the built-in and integrated operations management capability in the core Sage Master Builder suite as well as purchase additional modules to expand functionality. The total suite includes applications for takeoff, estimating, bid management, project scheduling, project management, accounting, customer management, and service management.

In addition to these offerings, Sage partners are constantly building functionality for the system to provide construction firms with even more options to handle their projects.
