Seems to time out quickly if I am not consistently working in Foundation. That can be annoying. > > Love Foundation Soft for the job costing abilities, the PM module is wonderful and of course PR, AR and AP. The way everything works together is perfect. ----- ### "Next Level Software and Support" — 5.0/5 > **Darren** | *14 April 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is fabulous. I don't know how I would have gotten through the year without it. > > **Cons**: One big struggle for us is in the area of the service department. The ability to not be able to comment on a service job in the app unless you are the lead tech is troubling. Sometimes another tech will arrive at the job to assist or drop off parts and they are not able to enter their time and comment. > > The overall experience has been much needed improvement to our business. Foundation software is exactly what we needed to go to the next level. ----- ### "Foundation great for new users" — 5.0/5 > **Sherri** | *16 June 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the easiness of learning the basics to run our accounting for construction. The customer support is very quick to respond and answer any of my questions. The software allows me to easily manage our AIA invoicing with general contractors which makes billing and receiving in payments easy. > > **Cons**: I haven't really found any cons - only that there is so much more the software can do then I am aware of this time without taking on some actual training courses. > > I have had an overall great experience with Foundation and would love to add on more features if I can get our team to try some new features. Monthly/Quarterly and Year End are made easier with Foundation. ----- ### "Controller" — 3.0/5 > **Carolyn** | *10 June 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support is gold star. Quick response, knowledgeable reps who are able to explain the situation. > > **Cons**: Unable to job cost labor based on work date. Can't find a snapshot of the job activity on 1 screen. Would love to see original contact \& cost, change orders, JTD billing \& costs, \& cash collected on one screen. --- Unable to have sub-accounts for the credit card rec. > > Only worked in it for 1.5 years, so still learning. I am not comfortable with the data on the job activity reports. Frustrated with how labor is recorded. Need to be able to record labor based on work date with the system generating an acrrual at the end of the period, along with the reversing entry. ----- ### "A Powerful Construction Accounting System Backed by Exceptional Support" — 4.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *12 May 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foundation has been a really strong fit for our construction accounting needs. The job costing capabilities, payroll functionality, reporting, and overall flexibility are far more tailored to the construction industry than most general accounting software we evaluated. It handles union payroll, multi-state work, certified payroll reporting, and detailed project tracking very well, which is critical for companies like ours. The system has a lot of depth, and once you understand how the modules work together, it can handle a significant amount of operational complexity. Customer support is also exceptional. We’ve worked with many software providers over the years, and Foundation’s support team has honestly been one of the best experiences we’ve had. Their reps are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful, especially when dealing with complicated construction accounting scenarios. It’s refreshing to work with a support team that actually understands the industry and takes the time to help solve problems instead of reading from scripts. > > **Cons**: The biggest limitation for us is foreign currency handling. If your company deals with Canadian vendors, international projects, or multi-currency transactions with any regularity, Foundation falls short in that area. There are workarounds, but they tend to be manual and cumbersome compared to what you’d expect from a modern ERP/accounting platform. Some parts of the system can also feel dated from a usability standpoint, and there can be a learning curve for new users because of how robust the software is. However, for construction-specific accounting, the tradeoff is usually worth it. > > Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience with Foundation. For construction companies with complex payroll, job costing, and reporting requirements, it’s one of the better industry-specific accounting systems available. The software is powerful, highly customizable, and clearly built with contractors in mind. While there are areas that could be modernized, particularly around foreign currency functionality, the strength of the core construction accounting features and the outstanding customer support make it a system we would still highly recommend. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/2032/foundation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
