In construction, time is money—but miscommunication is even more expensive. From estimating and project management to finance and closeout, your teams depend on each other to make fast, accurate decisions. But if they’re all working from disconnected systems? That’s a recipe for delays, budget surprises, and finger-pointing.
Let’s talk about what happens when your preconstruction, field, and finance teams don’t share a platform—and what you can do to fix it.
The Cost of Disconnected Systems
When estimators use one tool, PMs manage schedules in another, and finance teams close the books in yet another, your data lives in silos. That means every handoff introduces risk: inconsistent cost codes, duplicate data entry, outdated numbers, and missed change orders.
Managing a modern job site with fragmented workflows is a headache. Estimators need real-time access to historical cost data. PMs need visibility into budget burn. Finance needs accurate updates on committed costs and billing progress. If your systems don’t talk to each other, your teams won’t either.
What a Shared Platform Looks Like
Sage Intacct Construction, delivered by Ledgerable, brings your project and finance teams together in one ecosystem. Estimators, PMs, and controllers all work from the same source of truth—with real-time updates, shared dashboards, and integrated workflows.
● Estimators can pull historical job costs from completed projects, feeding accurate assumptions into new bids.
● Project managers track job progress, committed costs, and change orders in real time—without asking accounting to run a report.
● Finance teams see the whole picture at once: WIP status, billing milestones, labor productivity, and more.
● Everyone speaks the same language, and no one has to guess.
From Bid to Closeout: Streamlined Collaboration
Connected data means fewer errors, faster handoffs, and better decisions at every stage:
● During preconstruction, finance can review estimates to spot risk before a bid goes out.
● On active jobs, PMs and accounting stay aligned on budgets, change orders, and cost codes—without a single spreadsheet.
● At closeout, there's no chasing down information to reconcile revenue, billing, or labor.
With Ledgerable’s SmartCare model, your team doesn’t just get the software—they get a support system. From implementation to training and ongoing consulting, we make sure every role is getting the value they need from the platform.
Final Thoughts: Construction Is a Team Sport
Construction success doesn’t come from software alone. It comes from teams that trust each other, understand the numbers, and stay aligned from day one. If your estimating, project management, and finance systems are still siloed, it's time to rethink your approach. When everyone shares a platform, they can finally share a plan.
