Sage 100 / 300 CRE

The Heavyweight Champion of Construction Accounting

Sage isn't just 'QuickBooks for contractors'—it is a robust financial engine built to handle the brutal complexity of construction. Sage 100 is the choice for mid-sized firms, while Sage 300 is the industry standard for enterprise-level GCs managing massive, multi-entity projects. It solves the 'blind spot' problem: knowing exactly where your profit is leaking before the job is over.

How Pricing Works

• Module-Based: Pricing scales as you add modules like Estimating or Payroll.
• Implementation: Expect significant upfront costs for data migration and training.
• Maintenance: Annual fees for support and tax table updates are standard.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think Sage is best for: Mid-to-large GCs and specialty subs ($5M+ in revenue) who need 'audit-grade' financials and have a dedicated back office.

One thing to think about is the learning curve. This is not plug-and-play. You will need a consultant for setup and your team will need formal training to use it effectively.

Another consideration is the tech stack. These are legacy programs. While they have modern mobile add-ons, they aren't 'cloud-native' like newer apps. You're trading a slick UI for rock-solid stability and reporting power.
