Specialties
NetSuite for construction companies
Job costing, committed costs, progress billing and retainage set up so project managers and finance work from the same numbers on every job.
What we set up
We start from how you estimate, build and bill a job, not from the module list.
Job costing
Every job with its budget and cost codes, and labor, materials, subcontractor and equipment costs posting to the job as they happen.
Committed costs and change orders
Purchase orders and subcontracts as committed cost against budget, with change orders tracked from request to approval.
Progress billing and retainage
Schedule of values, percent-complete billing and retainage held and released, with revenue recognized to match.
Work in progress reporting
WIP schedules with over and under billings your controller and your bonding company can rely on.
Equipment and inventory
Equipment costs charged to jobs, and yard or warehouse inventory tracked when you stock your own materials.
Field, estimating and payroll systems
Integrations with Procore, Archdesk and other field tools, estimating software and certified payroll using Celigo, Boomi or Jitterbit.
How we deliver
Five phases, the same on every project, so you always know where things stand.
Kickstart
Planning
Goals, scope, timeline and who does what. We agree on what done looks like before anyone touches the system.
Blueprint
Design
How your processes will run in NetSuite: records, roles, workflows and the data that has to move.
Tailor
Build
Configuration, customization and integrations, built to the Blueprint and reviewed with your team as we go.
Validate
Testing
Your team runs real scenarios in a sandbox. We fix what does not fit before anything goes live.
Launch
Training and go-live
Role-based training, cutover and hands-on support through the first weeks.
Contractors often go live on finance, job costing and billing first, then add equipment tracking and field integrations in the next stage.
Why contractors call us
Construction accounting has its own rules: committed costs, retainage, percent complete and WIP. A standard NetSuite setup ignores most of them, and the result is job margin nobody trusts until the job is over.
We have set up and repaired NetSuite for general contractors, specialty trades and builders, and the same consultants stay on after go-live.
Common questions
Can NetSuite do AIA-style progress billing and retainage?
Yes. We set up schedules of values, percent-complete billing and retainage receivable and payable so invoices and the GL agree.
Does NetSuite handle committed costs?
Yes. Purchase orders and subcontracts post as committed cost against the job budget, so cost to complete is visible before the invoices arrive.
Can you connect our field software?
Yes. We connect NetSuite to Procore, Archdesk and similar field tools, estimating software and payroll providers using Celigo, Boomi or Jitterbit.
