Sage 200
Eque2 Construct sits on top of Sage 200. Your nominal ledger, VAT, banking and payroll stay exactly where they are. Contract costing, procurement, client billing and subcontractors run from the same set of numbers, so commercial stops keeping a spreadsheet for finance to reconcile.

What we do not touch
The jobs Sage 200 cannot do on its own
The jobs this combination makes possible, written as the result rather than the feature.
See cost-to-complete build in real time
Budgets, committed cost and actual cost sit in one live view, so commercial and finance teams read contract performance the same way. Cost-to-complete builds visibly, so overruns surface early enough to protect the final account.
Decisions made faster to protect margins
Job management reporting brings contract value, committed costs, actual costs, into a single live view, enables commercial and finance teams to track contract performance in real-time. Teams can identify overruns earlier and protect profitability before issues impact the final account.
Catch plant overcharges before you pay them
Plant orders carry start and charge dates, so daily hire cost accrues automatically. Invoices check against actual hire periods to catch overcharges, and every asset stays visible by job, supplier and project manager.
Labour cost against the job, not just the payslip
Timesheets and pay rates link straight to project reporting and payroll, so labour cost against every contract stays accurate without extra admin.
Match orders to invoices automatically
Purchase orders, supplier invoices, goods received notes and committed costs stay connected against live projects. Orders match to invoices automatically, supplier cost history builds for every negotiation, and alerts flag the moment a budget is exceeded.
Integrated management of client billing
Automatic deductions for retentions and discounts. Track retention due dates and outstanding applications. With enhanced visibility and automation, your team can reduce errors, speed up approvals, and optimise cash flow, giving your business full control over your processes.

FAQS
No. Construct integrates with Sage 200, so you do not have to change accounts systems or key information between them by hand.
Construct integrates with Sage Business Cloud, Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Standard, Sage Intacct and Sage Payroll. Whichever accounts package you run now, or decide to move to, the data in Construct still holds as the business grows.
No. Construct includes an AI invoice processing tool, which removes the need to key invoices line by line. It suits businesses processing over 200 invoices a month, cutting errors and improving productivity.
