What we do not touch
What this integration makes possible
Integrating Construct and Sage Intacct helps you to:
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. Sage Intacct is a strong financial management platform for core accounting: the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, payments and financial reporting. It doesn't cover the construction-specific commercial processes most contractors and housebuilders need. Construct adds the project and contract management layer: job costing, procurement, subcontractors, applications for payment, valuations, retentions, contract reporting and project performance. Together, Construct and Sage Intacct give finance and commercial teams a single source of truth for project and business performance.
Sage 50 and Sage Intacct are both accounting platforms, built for different stages of growth. Sage 50 suits smaller businesses with straightforward accounting needs, while Sage Intacct is built for growing and mid-sized organisations that need more financial visibility, automation and scalability. The biggest difference is deployment: Sage 50 is desktop-based, while Sage Intacct is fully cloud-native and works from a browser anywhere, which makes it easier for distributed teams to collaborate in real time. Sage 50 tends to rely more on manual processes and spreadsheets. It remains a strong option for smaller organisations, but businesses expanding, managing multiple entities or handling more transactions often find Sage Intacct a better fit.
Sage Intacct is built for growing and mid-sized businesses, handling significantly higher transaction volumes than entry-level accounting systems. Its cloud-based architecture means there's no fixed transaction limit for most organisations, so businesses can add transactions, users, entities and projects as they grow. For construction companies managing multiple projects, cost centres and entities, that scalability comes without the performance limits smaller accounting systems run into.
No. Sage Intacct keeps departmental P&L, cost centre management, general ledger insights, multi-entity accounting and shared customer and supplier data. Construct adds what sits alongside that: job costing, subcontractor management, procurement and supplier history, plant hire tracking, client billing and real-time commercial dashboards. Each system does a different job.
