Fairline Homes, Harnessing A Construction Accounting Solution Integrated with Estimating Software
Fairline Homes, one of the largest independent house builders in the East Midlands, has chosen Construct for Sage, in conjunction with Eque2’s leading estimating solution EValuate, to
support its business as it continues to expand its operations and take on larger, exciting projects.
Fairline Homes were looking forward to gaining greater control and consistency of costs as well as the online tracking and live reporting that the Eque2 solutions will bring.
- Construct for Sage’s ability to manage the entire subcontractor process from online CIS verifications and submissions to the tracking of insurances and CSCS cards will save time and bring real efficiencies.
- EValuate will strengthen the company’s subcontractor enquiry process with the ability to issue enquiries, drawings & revisions to subcontractors, and collate and analyse responses online quickly and easily.

By utilising a mobile app, Fairline Homes can establish a three-way match to automate the process of matching between purchase orders raised, goods received on-site and invoices due for payment.
Glenevin Were Able to Consolidate Financial Data Through Construct for Sage
Glenevin Construction provide infrastructure development and maintenance across the UK. A business pursuing innovation and adopting cutting-edge work methods, they have chosen Construct for Sage to bring all its financial processes together in a single, unified system.
Previously, their commercial team were using manual data entry for invoice valuations and applications, which caused duplications across their data. Their existing Sage50cloud solution was unable to handle the number of transactions being processed, necessitating daily back-ups to avoid data loss. To meet their growing needs, they required a solution that could accommodate high volumes of transactions, manage retentions, and protect their data.
Adopting Construct for Sage allows Glenevin Construction to reduce human error and duplication within their data to bring greater efficiency savings.
- Construct for Sage handles all project-related transactions and business documents to store all data related to jobs on a centralised platform.
- Utilising our Document Capture for Construct for Sage will allow them to effectively process electronic supplier and subcontractor invoices by reducing the manual admin spent on invoice capture and GRN documents.
- Glenevin Construction now looks forward to being able to benefit from live job cost reporting and effective cost value reconciliation (CVR), enabling the team to have a real-time view of their financials and quickly see if a project is profitable or a loss.
Gibbs Surfacing Ltd, Adopting A Modern and User-friendly Construction-specific Accounting Platform
Gibbs Surfacing Ltd decided to move away from Integrity to Construct for Sage. The independent surfacing contractors, who work across the South, Midlands and Wales, were finding it
difficult and time consuming to drill down into costs and pull out the required relevant information from their existing solution. With previous knowledge of Sage50, they wanted a solution that could integrate with their accounting system, enabling them to manage their finances and accounting processes whilst easily accessing reports from a centralised solution.
Construct for Sage provides Gibbs Surfacing Ltd with a user-friendly platform – the easy-to-use navigation allows them to access key functionality to easily track and manage applications, variation, retention and crucial business documents like invoices.
- The drillable enquiry module, job management, provides high-level data across all contracts to transaction level. With several live reporting options that can be exported to Microsoft Excel.
- By adopting a construction-specific solution Gibbs Surfacing Ltd will be able to reduce manual input and unnecessary duplication to bring greater efficiency savings.
CRS Plant Moving Away from Spreadsheets onto a Centralised System
CRS Plant’s work primarily on new residential developments and civils projects; alongside providing a wide range of services which include civil engineering, foundations, attenuation, external
works, groundwork and construction to name a few.
CRS utilised multiple disconnected systems – with one of their current systems not having the ability to access project-specific cost value reconciliation (CVR) which led to a lack of transparency within their processes. Looking to optimise their estimating processes, they required a solution that would remove mass duplications to simplify their post-contract stage. With a wide range of project types, they needed a product suite that would be allow them to work quickly.
To streamline their entire project lifecycle, CRS Plant have adopted Construct for Sage integrated with EValuate.
