Biker Group Ltd optimises job costing and efficiency with Eque2’s Construction Accounting Software, Construct for Sage
Biker Group Ltd, a leading architectural joinery manufacturer in the North of England, is renowned for delivering high-quality services to the construction industry. The Group is dedicated to quality and is constantly looking for new methods to increase productivity and simplify all processes.
Biker Group was vulnerable to potential operational risks because they were reliant on an outdated Microsoft Access database that lacked support and was unable to integrate with their current Sage 50 accounting system. Concerned about the future, Biker Group understand that key information was stored in the system, which could lead to significant issues if it stopped working or became completely unsupported. This lack of integration also caused inefficient manual processes, including duplicated job costing and WIP reporting, which were time-consuming and error prone. To solve this, Biker Group needed a modern solution to centralise data, streamline processes, and provide real-time job costing insights.
Construct for Sage, a cloud-based, construction accounting solution created for the construction sector, was chosen by the Biker Group to address these issues. As the only Sage Tech Partner in construction, Construct seamlessly integrates with their existing Sage 50, saving the business from having to undergo lengthy reimplementation of their current accounting system. Construct for Sage provides a robust platform that consolidates job costing data, replacing manual processes, and reducing the reliance on spreadsheets.
The implementation of Construct for Sage will increase the Biker Group's overall business efficiency while cutting down administrative hours. The business can make better data-driven decisions with access to real-time data on expenses, revenue, and profit. Additionally, Biker Group can enhance collaboration with the on-site and back-office teams by using the mobile apps to capture goods received notes (GRNs) and timesheets while on-the-go, to simplify on-site operations.
Once Construct is in place, Biker Group can expect to see a marked improvement in financial accuracy and operational efficiency. The company anticipates improved cash flow, better margin protection through early cost tracking, reduced IT costs with cloud-based support, and more streamlined data entry processes. Additionally, on-site data capture will enhanced accuracy, allowing the business to operate more efficiently and effectively across all projects.
McCarthy Group simplifies subcontractor management with Construct for Sage
The Coventry-based McCarthy Group is a construction, fit out, and renovation company that has established a solid reputation for producing high-quality projects for a range of industries. Managing daily project data, subcontractor procedures, and overall performance with Sage 50 and spreadsheets became more difficult as the business expanded. With data dispersed across several platforms and limited reporting capabilities, the manual processes resulted in inefficiencies that made it challenging to obtain real-time insights into subcontractor management and project success.
Given the complexity of their business processes, McCarthy Group chose to go with Construct for Sage 50 in an effort to increase transparency and streamline operations. The construction-specific software, Construct for Sage, will replace outdated manual processes and provide a fully integrated platform to all aspects of subcontractor relationships, procurement, retentions, and project costs. By consolidating these processes into one system, McCarthy Group will benefit from real-time data visibility, enabling them to make more informed decisions and manage subcontractor performance with greater efficiency.
Construct will enable the McCarthy Group to enhance reporting capabilities by monitoring spending, tracking project costs in real-time, and gaining better control over financial aspects. The implementation of Construct facilitates the centralisation of information, and McCarthy Group will be able to oversee their whole subcontractor supply chain by ensuring that all transactions and documentation were audited and managed.
McCarthy Group is taking a pivotal step in transforming its operations; by freeing up time and lowering administrative burden the business can now concentrate on strategic decision-making and project delivery. The solution gives the business the resources it needs to boost project performance, increase productivity, and drive growth. McCarthy Group is in a strong position to meet the needs of their growing portfolio, guaranteeing ongoing success in the highly competitive construction and refurbishment industry.
B&R Installations Ltd streamlines operations with Construct for Sage 50
B&R Installations Ltd, a leading provider of ventilation, steelwork, and plant movement services for the mechanical services industry, faced significant challenges managing projects as their accounting system didn’t possess construction-specific functionality required, meaning the team had to manage varying processes through multiple, manual spreadsheets.

Seeking to improve efficiency and gain better project visibility, B&R Installations adopted Construct for Sage 50. This integrated solution will enable the company to improve subcontractor management by quickly and easily accessing subcontractor data from any location and device, including history, quality, and availability.

To guarantee compliance, B&R Installations can now verify and monitor CSCS certifications and subcontractor insurance, significantly simplifying their process for verifying and submitting applications.

By digitising their processes with Construct for Sage, B&R Installations is now better positioned to enhance project performance, protect margins, and make informed decisions based on live, accurate data, ultimately strengthening their operations for future growth.
