Foundation Software for construction accounting: capabilities, pricing, and when QuickBooks Enterprise is the better fit.
Job costing depth, AIA billing native, certified payroll, equipment costing, and union reporting are Foundation’s strongest features. The platform was built specifically for US construction firms and reflects 30+ years of construction-accounting domain expertise.
The most common reasons: subscription cost growth, lagging mobile access for field crews, smaller integration ecosystem versus QuickBooks. Most contractors under $30M revenue can move to QuickBooks Enterprise Contractor (or QuickBooks Online Advanced + construction add-ons) and save $25K-$50K/year.
Numerawise has converted Foundation files for specialty contractors, general contractors, and equipment-heavy operators. The migration preserves jobs, phases, cost codes, AIA structure, certified payroll history, and equipment cost allocation. Timeline: 6-8 weeks. Cost: $3,500-$12,000.
