Things seem to cross reference fairly easily Cons Same thing its difficult to learn all of the aspects and how they work together unless someone shows you every little thing. Its difficult to self learn Review Source LD Leo D. Embedded software engineer test Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Functionality Once You Learn the System" February 26, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Sage Construction Suite has been positive. It’s a powerful system that provides strong control over project financials, job costing, and reporting. While it can take some time to learn, once familiar with it, the software becomes a reliable tool for managing construction projects efficiently. Pros The best part for me was how everything is connected. Having financials, job costing, and project information in one system saved a lot of time and reduced mistakes compared to managing things separately. Cons One thing I liked least was that the interface can feel a bit dated and takes some time to get used to. New users often need training before they feel fully comfortable navigating the system.

Property Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage to Save the Day" April 27, 2026 5.0 I've been in the property management business for 15yrs now and this is by far the most user-friendly program I use. If I were to ever have to recommend a program, I would absolutely recommend Sage. Pros The ease in accessing needed information and overall use of the program. Thankfully I have not had to use customer support but I'm confident that when/if I ever do, it will be a painless experience. Cons I honestly can't think of any cons at the moment. Everything seems to run smoothly for me and eases my daily workload. Review Source JB Julianne B. office mgr Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy enough!" April 23, 2026 5.0 Pretty easy to use and/or find video how to's on youtube. I am not an accounting major so this system is basic enough for me to understand and work through. Pros This is system is easy to use, easy to modify the look and/or find help on things I am not sure about. Cons would like to be able to run more reports from closed years. I often have to provide audit info for previous years and would like access without having to close out and open previous years. Review Source KJ Karen J. Bookkeeper Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" April 27, 2026 4.0 Ease of use, easy to train employees, but I would like a report of our tax exempt customers which I have not been able to find, plus sometimes we need to know sales totals by state. Pros Ease of use and access of information and information access. Easy to enter AP invoices and AR invoices. Cons When we sales tax it does not work well with Avalara. Cannot figure how to get this done correctly. Review Source LB Lori B. Vice President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use software" May 4, 2026 5.0 I have using sage 300 for almost 40 years. The knowledge base and technical support are best compared to the other software companies I use. Pros It is a very robust suite of accounting software. It is easy to troubleshoot issues and apply fixes. Cons There is always a fix to correct an entry but myassistant has been awesome with the higher level of support issues.

IT Consultant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Old School but cool" April 21, 2026 4.0 I have used Sage for many years most solid accounting program. Little out of date looking but still solid. Pros Amazing Customer support when chatting with them. Able to resolve my problems quickly and their support staff is very knowledgable Cons Would like to access a cloud version at some point. By now I am wondering if there is a true cloud version of Sage instead of relying on my outdated server and have to VPN in remotely Review Source AM Amy M. Controller Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Program/ More User friendly" April 27, 2026 5.0 I am very new to Sage only 9 months in. I have always used Quickbooks. Sage is a challenging process to learn but I understand why GC would use this program. Pros The tracking of each individual job is outstanding. Customer service is always very good and helpful. Cons After inputting it is not easy to fix an error. Everything is so difficult to change or adjust after enter. Need to make more user friendly. Review Source CH Chris H. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thoughts in the Second Year" October 27, 2020 3.0 Training wasn't smooth. Our trainer was a good person but we were mislead in regards to the cost of getting started so that was a negative from the beginning. Pros That it worked well with Procore and gave us a more detailed accounting system. Cons The double entry with using Procore and Sage 100. I also don't like that it isn't very user friendly. Lots of clicks to accomplish a simple task. I will use looking at the checkbook register as an example. I should just be able to click and look at at it. It should take 5 or 6 clicks to get there.

Would have liked for them to help a little more. The isolved agent we conferenced in was a little rude. Pros customer support was great. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with once transfered to the level 2. Cons The wait time to get someone on the phone was very long. The first person i spoke with was a little hard to understand.

Great value for the money. The customer support team is also great to work with. Cons Reporting creation. This could be improved.

Director Libraries Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Terrible product for a lot of money " May 4, 2026 1.0 Only easy to use if you’re a professional bookkeeper, apparently. Not intuitive at all. I wish I could start over with another product. Pros That I have figured it out, mostly. It took many years but I can do just the basics now, thank goodness. Cons So expensive! Gone from 300 to 900 in 10 years. Clunky. Not intuitive. Easy to make errors that aren’t flagged. Review Source KV Kyle V. Senior Support Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sage Construction Suite Review" April 28, 2026 5.0 Pros Ease of use. Easy to understand, estimate reporting and creation can easily be done. Contacting customer support is easy as well. Cons Some features aren’t available online vs the desktop app. Hopefully that changes in the coming future.

VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "10+ years of Sage" March 16, 2021 5.0 Overall I have had very little problems in Sage for the my 10+ years of using the product. I think it flows rather well, but when I had to train someone else because of concerns over COVID, it was a little tricky. There are some deductions I have to compute manually because I can't tell it to include overtime, but not vacation or sick when creating the deduction. I also don't like that when creating a paygroup you need to save before adding benefits, but that's a minor inconvenience. I have also adapted paygroup for the different benefit levels of my employees who attend school and have different impact to compensation. Overall I would recommend. Pros It is easy to input invoices and do most of payroll. The certified payroll still needs a little work for those of us not doing it electronically. I have never had an issue with the quarterly or end of yea tax reports. Archiving previous years and locking down transactions prior to archiving has become much simpler. I do customized reports from time to time and generally they are rather easy to do. Cons I would like to see a tab in the jobs that has all the information needed for the A1-131 top section report. I would like to see date added when it notifies you in accounts payable that you have a duplicate invoice number. Lately I have had to install the program onto new computers. The install was not as smooth due to Microsoft. I wish I had a updated list that said you also will need to download these applications as they are no longer automatically provided by Microsoft - ie Framework, SQL 2014. Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite We chose Sage back in 2002. At that time there were not many options. We have maintained through the years albeit looked at other products. We started with Sage 100 Contractor and have stuck with Sage 100 Contractor although we do not use it to its fullest protentional. Review Source Response from Sage May 3, 2021 Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your business and look forward to helping drive your continued success in construction and real estate. DB Debora B. office manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Next level accounting" August 13, 2021 4.0 We were able to have multiple users with out them seeing what we don't want them to see. Also it improved the reporting and bill paying process. It has been great to have estimating incorporated in the program and the ability to export into excel. Some parts however are very clunky and take multiple steps (such as entering info twice in change orders or having to create a job after a client. It would be nice to click a button on client that creates the job automatically. Grateful the capability to transfer between accounts was added, however the fact that I have to enter a journal entry to use the vacation time costs on my balance sheet when someone uses it in payroll seems a miss-step. Pros Accounting is great. The level of personalization for each user, being able to lock down per line what each user sees and use of PO/SO takes us to the next level of what we were looking for. Also personalization of reports and ability to change things how we need them is excellent. Have been using as our CRM as well. That there are constant improvements and ability to request them. Love the dashboard and how I can customize it. I feel much more informed about our numbers and the auto-reports are very helpful. Cons So much to learn and implement. Our onboarding was less than impressive (trainer distracted and taking another phone call while I'm paying for her time) Also very expensive. There was no information as to the set up of the computers required, or even how to go about implementing the program until we were involved with the trainers and they didn't cover that first part. Had to learn by trial and error. We felt like there was very little help and a lot of miscommunications. We need more field access (online) but that is not on the accounting side...all project management. Also, when exporting to word or excel it is in tables and not easy to manipulate. Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite We didn't really look at too many others, Sage100c was recommended by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and we trust her. Review Source RH Robin H. Used the software for: ### "" December 30, 2011 4.5 Why choose Timberline estimating over Excel or the Big Chief notepad? 1. Integration, Integration, Integration a. Dynamic link to Onscreen takeoff tools (I can be in the estimate quantity field and jump to the plans, measure the quantity while color coding it using the mouse, and it inserts the quantity in the estimate). b. Quotation/Procurement - one of the most important add-ons. Allows the user to create quote sheets from takeoff items, email them to vendors, negotiate prices, then choose to use that quote in the estimate budget or push it through to a purchase order or subcontract. Remarkably powerful integration tool, plus you develop a bid history library. c. CAD - beyond onscreen takeoff (which is only an image of the drawing where you still measure quantities). CAD integration uses CAD item libraries to electronically feed CAD driven quantities from the drawings (but you still have to "estimate" the work to be performed). CAD primarily provides the material components and quantities. d. Scheduling Integration - the ability to generate a text file recap of the estimate sorted by a schedule activity, or export the recap to a Microsoft Project Schedule native file format, or to create a Primavera native file format. NOTE - it is not a scheduling program; it is a utility to convert the estimate to specific data file format used by specific scheduling software products. 2. Reduction in errors. a. Database formulas work every time and warn you when something is missing. Excel can break formula links, fields, worksheet links, and references and become too complex to manage and generate a wrong calculation with no warning. b. Database estimates can be sorted in almost unlimited ways using "WBS codes" (work breakdown structures). This is a fancy name for tagging an item with a sortable field such as material class, building number, floor number, alternate, and then sorting the estimate by those tags in a multiple level sequence - on the fly. Very important with so many cuts and adds taking place in today's estimating processes. It also quickly generates field-oriented docs (bill of materials; by floor, by area, etc.), Budgets - sort by job cost summary instantly, etc. c. Cuts and Adds are a given in today's fast paced estimate environment, recalling a scope section and revising it repeatedly is a reality. This is the most common cause of estimating errors when bidding. Having an audit trail of changes and to quickly make a revision to all components by answering simple questions is very powerful (see smart assemblies and Modeling as well). d. Parametric estimates - increase the production of an estimator without increased rework or errors. Answer a set of parametric scope questions and the assembly generates all detail components for the estimator. Eliminates errors, reduces rework, ends the "takeoff for a bid - then takeoff again to build it" issue. 3. Database standards a. A standard item library for everyone in the company to use creating ease of assimilating new estimators, improving cross training of roles, having common logic that can be reviewed easily to see how the result was generated. How many times has an excel estimate template morphed into multiple complicated versions within a company? Not with a database central price book and takeoff system. b. Flexibility - allows the estimating "artist" to be flexible with their style of results. The assemblies will allow scope questions to be used differently by each estimator (one wants unit price, another wants man-hours, another wants total Square Footage). They can get all of that with a single common system setup. c. Pricing - many cost pricing service products integrate and can be combined with a company's own in-house price components. Run into that goofy system you have no idea what it costs - look it up in the pricing service system (and by regional pricing in the market). Have your own factors - apply them to the pricing. There are many other reasons to consider a database driven integrated estimating system. The above are just a few that show why excel or paper are outdated for today's fast paced estimating demands. It is not just the takeoff - it is all the other integration of "clerical / admin" grunt work stuff that an integrated solution improves within an organization. Four stars - there is no PERFECT system... but no others come close to this overall solution. Review Source OO Obada O. Site Civil Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best guarantee to complete the work within the budget" January 20, 2022 5.0 I consider myself lucky because the company I work for uses Sega300, as it has a pivotal role in organizing all the functions of the work team, and also a great role in organizing the financial affairs of projects, and through it we avoid mistakes when preparing bills and financial reports. Keeping track of the work by ensuring that you do not exceed the specified budget. Pros It is one of the best tools for estimating the business value and managing project finances. Sega300 enables construction companies of all sizes organize and track tasks. In short, the Sega300 tells project managers what they need to do, and owners what their firm is actually about. The Sega300 eliminates duplicate entries by integrating and updating modules in real time. The Sega300 protects data transmission by limiting access to authorized individuals only. It will guard against changing financial data or losing jobs. The sequential and traffic order of customers and vendors helps integrate monthly accounting surveys for settlements and retrieve invoices accurately and efficiently. Cons There is nothing undesirable, it just needs some training to learn how to work correctly, and after completing the training, you will find it easy and quick to implement the required operations and extract reports. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Jr. Software developer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Make construction easy" January 4, 2023 4.0 Overall experience is good , going to suggest to other users also , this software make the construction work much more reliable. Pros I most liked about this software is estimation calculation and payroll management which is good to use feature. And make the construction much more easy and fast. Cons The cons is there that sometimes future estimation is calculated wrong and not matched , except all others things are fine and good. Review Source JW John W. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data entry intensive" August 18, 2021 2.0 Forced to use it due to the initial cost. We are looking to replace at the earliest sensible moment. Pros It does integrate with many other programs. With the right knowledge, it can be very flexible in reporting. The support is also much better than most programs. Cons Constant and repetitive data entry. Just a few examples... To record payment of multiple POs electronically, the Sage requires individual acceptance for each PO. So when paying 45 POs with one ACH transaction, Sage requires over 100 individual clicks of the mouse as well in addition to keyboard input. Data entry often requires both mouse and keyboard input, making it slower. If you make a mistake on a date entry, (like accidentally entering Dec 45th) there is no indication. No popup, no change of color on the field, nothing. You eventually just have to realize what happened. With acct #s or Job #s, there is a pop up to say it didn't recognize the input. With general ledger entry, Sage does not automatically fill in an amount to balance the transaction. You have enter each line. Seems silly, but that one feature would save many hours over a year. Every other accounting program I have ever used in over 30 years will default to the amount needed to balance the entry, and you merely type over it as you go, but its right there for that last line when you do need it. Just simple, easy, things that could be done that in many years of development have never been fixed. Review Source KM Kenneth M. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100 for all Sizes" August 16, 2021 4.0 I love the Report Scheduler Manager feature. The ability to schedule reports to automatically be distributed to various Project Managers and Management through out the month is a game changer. No longer do I have an outlook reminder every day as to which reports need to be sent for teammates to manage their projects and duties. Pros Previously I had worked with Sage 300, while it provides endless flexibility it is not for the technically challenged. Upon arriving at Gilmore I was informed they have Sage 100, I immediately was able to dive in to reconfigure the system to start utilizing 80% of the modules without a lengthy training process. I have the system synced with Sage Estimating, Sage Paperless and Procore project management. This is a game changer!! No duplication of keystrokes in the entire accounting workflow process!! Cons Custom report writing is not easy, however, easier than learning Crystal Reports. Anyone with moderate understanding of database software utilizing fields and simple equations can learn to modify existing reports to better suit their requirements. Review Source KH Kim H. Accounting Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good with Property Management, Mediocre with Accounting" March 17, 2021 4.0 Whereas Sage 300 CRE does have some good functionality for property management, we are also suffering from poor accounting functionality. Some days I'm happy with the software, some days not so much. Pros I like the Property Management side of Sage - our office manages a number of commercial real estate properties, and we are able to track the leases, and the PM side of things does link in with the accounting side of things. And I know there are more features in the PM side that we don't even use. Cons Sage 300 CRE does not mix well with any outside software. We recently took over management of a dozen new properties and we had to manually input all the data to get the new companies in our system. There was no reasonable import feature available. We could have paid someone thousands of dollars to bring basic information into the system for us, but what they could import was not everything we'd need, and there would be no previous year data option. That was frustrating. And the accounting system is also lacking. As much as all of the modules to integrate with each other, the accounting system does not perform to my expectations. And if you want to export a report into Excel, forget it! Sure it will export the data, but not in any kind of usable format! The numbers don't export as numbers, the formatting is all skewed. I just found out that there is a 'third party' software to use as a fix, but I just spent $2500 on that fix and found out that if we want to export the income statement and balance sheet, that is an extra $800. I'm not happy with the accounting system. Review Source Response from Sage May 3, 2021 Thank you for your feedback!
