Construction Partner
Construction Partner brings construction accounting, job costing, payroll, equipment, purchasing, timekeeping, and service work into one system and ledger.
What Construction Partner is
Construction Partner brings construction accounting, job costing, payroll, equipment, purchasing, timekeeping, and service work into one system and ledger. Its accounting tools cover general ledger, payables and receivables, bank reconciliation, job-coded transactions, and financial reporting. Billing options include progress, unit price, cost-plus, lump-sum, and service work, with AIA-style G702/G703 forms and retention tracking. Payroll includes certified payroll reporting for prevailing-wage work, with exports for WH-347, CA CPR XML, WA PWCPR, LCPtracker, and AWP Payroll XML. Employees can submit time by phone or desktop browser, adding GPS locations, photos, notes, and English or Spanish voice or typed entries. Approved hours post to job cost and payroll, after weekly review. The mobile timekeeping tool runs in a phone browser rather than through an app store download. CP Assistant answers how-to questions and can find or count records a user may access, but it does not change data. Construction Partner is available on Android, iOS, and the web.
