### "Construction and Foudation "

December 19, 2025

5.0

Overall we would not trade for another software. We are very pleased with the software and the longtime relationship we have.

Pros

We have been using Foundation for over 15 years. We are a construction company with different projects and the job costing feature, specially ther WIP report are perfect. We also are very pleased with customer service.

Cons

I wish the bank and foundation would sync. It is tedious to have to enter transactions mannually every month to reconcile accounts.

### "Kind of a let down"

June 18, 2025

2.0

Very rocky since day one. The crew that we had come onsite spend almost all of their time fixing things just to get us online and not any training. The conversion from QuickBooks to Foundation was not as simple as it was described.

Pros

Certified payroll is a huge win. The program can be very flexible but at times this can also be a downfall because there are too many options.

Cons

Where do I start. Project HQ, Executive HQ, Crew HQ were huge disappointments and not at all what we were shown, thought we were getting. Mobile is always having issues.

Reason for choosing FOUNDATION

Already has payroll for construction. Sage, I heard bad experiences. Structure does not do payroll. Procore we are now also on.

### "Foundation is very easy to transition to"

November 26, 2025

5.0

Overall, Foundation is a good product, especially coming from QBO. I would recommend this product for companies with sales up to approx $50 Million

Pros

Foundation is very easy to use and it helps automate the allocation processes and is a one stop shop with Fixed Assets, Job Costs, Payroll Functions

Cons

I liked least not being able to go back into accounts payable and change the invoice number or GL coding. This makes it difficult to reverse transactions that are incorrect or if the controller reviews the coding later and wants to adjust it.

### "Have patience"

November 17, 2025

4.0

Foundations is so superior to what we had been using in quick books. QB was fine when our company was small but now that we have grown Foundations is what we need.

Pros

Once you get the hang of it, it is smooth sailing. The more you use the easier it is to remember all the steps you have to do.

Cons

Our training was really not up to par. We did talk to management and they helped us out alot. \[sensitive content hidden\] was fantastic with all our questions.

### "MAKE REPORTS FRIENDLIER, EASIER TO FIND"

September 8, 2025

3.0

Definitely has potential but feel there are A LOT of things that could be fixed, simplified or improved.

Pros

The capabilities to enter timecards breaking out to different jobs and wages fairly easily. Job tracking.

Cons

THE REPORTS!!!!!! You need to consolidate your reports and maybe have FAR FEWER REPORTS that you can maybe just change the criteria to show what your looking for. Should be able to go in to a customer, a vendor or an employee and see their complete history, payments, billings, check numbers, paid dates, etc etc etc. Spend soooooooo much time looking for specific things.

January 8, 2026

4.0

We've been with Foundation for over 14 years and have always found the customer service superior and your team is constantly updating and adding to the functionality - we appreciate this proactive approach.

Pros

Our ability to run reports micro-specific to our construction field is unmatched. We also bundle with the Payroll4Construction payroll services for ease of use.

Cons

There are limitations to the ability to sync Foundation with outside software (HR, payroll, benefits).

### "Foundation is my choice"

May 19, 2025

5.0

Overall, I have had a very positive experience with Foundation and would recommend it as one of the best accounting software packages available for the construction industry. The support provided is superior.

Pros

Never having used Foundation before, it was easy to pick up and very user-friendly. Once I started thinking like a database, it was easy to figure out how Foundation was treating different transactions.

Cons

The fact that you cannot "delete" incorrect transactions. I realize that this would eliminate the audit trail, but sometimes it would be nice just to delete a transaction as if it never happened in the first place.

We’re thrilled to hear FOUNDATION has been intuitive and easy to learn! Your point about transaction deletion is a great one—we prioritize audit trail integrity, but we understand the desire for a cleaner way to handle mistakes.

Very happy with Foundation. I learn something new on a regular basis. I look forward to more experience to further my knowledge and comfort of use.

Pros

We utilize and love the detailed financial and job costing reports and wonderful consulting and training pros.

Cons

The data entry is more time consuming but becomes more natural with experience. We are cash based and have run into some problems with the balance sheet not balancing.

### "Strong System for Tracking Jobs and Payroll—Just Takes Some Getting Used To"

October 20, 2025

5.0

Overall, Foundation is a reliable and powerful construction accounting software that helps keep our operations organized and compliant. Once you learn the system, it offers excellent control over job costing, payroll, and reporting. While there’s room for improvement in usability, it’s a solid platform that continues to improve with each update.

Pros

Foundation’s reporting and job cost tracking features make it easy to monitor financial performance across multiple projects. The system integrates well with payroll and offers strong support for construction-specific accounting needs. The dashboard visibility and customization options have been especially helpful for project management and forecasting.

Cons

The interface can feel a bit dated and not always intuitive, especially for new users. Some functions require multiple clicks to get where you need to be, and occasional updates can slow down workflows. Customer support is responsive, but resolution times can vary depending on the issue.

June 18, 2025

5.0

I have been using Foundations since 2011 and I would not use another software system in this industry but Foundations. The software was very easy to learn and is very easy to use!

Pros

I have always bragged about their great customer service and the quick response time. I can Log A Call and get the help I need and if they are not able to help they make sure that some one who can help calls back within a reasonable time

Cons

That we cannot get Whiting Turners AIA as part of the Receivable package. I also would like to be able to run reports that would help me with my Workman's Comp audit, for example how much I have paid my subcontractors per project.

### ""I love Foundation!""

December 8, 2025

I would rate our experience as a 10 out of 10. Having looked into 4 other construction softwares, I've never regretted selecting Foundation.

Pros

The support team is outstanding! Always so incredibly patient and helpful! I'm very impressed with the level of expertise they have. Very much appreciate that payroll calls for assistance are given priority.

Cons

Waiting for a call-back, while knowing how busy you are at times. I realize that it would be impossible to estimate how long it would take for a response.

### "My Experience Using Foundation "

October 17, 2025

5.0

I had a hard time remembering where things were since there are so many options and remembering to use new or modify and the posting feature. Now that I've worked on it for several years, I love it.

Pros

Foundation is easy to use once you get used to it. Tracks everything in one place. No need for paper work orders that get lost or hard to read handwriting. From WO creation to billing and statements. It's all in one place. Document imaging also lets you save everything under the specific client or job such as Tax Exempt forms to quotes, proposals and even vendor receipts. It's all in one place.

Cons

The time it takes for support to call you back on issues, that is my least favorite thing about foundation. As far as the software itself...maybe that each move requires a lot of clicks and there are lots of options.

October 17, 2025

Overall better, just wish they would improve some of the guts of the program instead of all the add-ons.

Pros

I like how the team is well versed in the product. When I speak with a team member they often show me multiple solutions. I do like the portal with videos and FAQ. I do like that it is very rare to malfunction.

Cons

One of the parts of foundation that needs improvement is the workers compensation and general liability components. There isn't a lot of flexibility or options there. There is only one report so no way to look at it from a different angle. And construction companies have a lot of insurance to track different codes and policies.

October 30, 2025

4.0

A solid and reliable product supported by a capable team. Support has consistently been helpful and well-informed about the issues we’ve encountered. Overall, FOUNDATION offers great value for the cost.

Pros

Great value for money. The client support team is helpful and knowledgeable, though resolving some issues or questions can occasionally take a few days.

Cons

There’s a lack of built-in BI tools, and the reporting features are limited data is flat and not easily customizable or interactive. There’s also a small variety of user instructions available for troubleshooting; most issues require calling support and waiting for a callback instead of finding clear guidance online.

Pros

Foundation is easy to navigate, there's little to no need for add ons. We've looked into other software and Foundation is a great value for the money. I really like the correction feature in payroll. Foundations customer support is knowledgeable and prompt with solutions.

Cons

Foundation is lacking in HR. Unable to view W-2's in eAccess. We utilize Foundation mobile, which is kind of wonky. Signing timesheets in mobile is clunky as well.

Pros

It makes sense for how we need to utilize AIA billing and accounting practices for our growing energy construction business.

Cons

It works well for construction projects and certified jobs. Support is excellent in all areas.

Pros

Functionality for certified payroll. Retention is easy to track in Payables and receivables. I like that we can export reports in several formats, and can drill down in so many places. Creating custom lists is easy.

Cons

Unit Price Billing is cumbersome and takes time to set up. The equipment module needs work. We have to use another program to track equipment costs and maintenance schedules.

Overall, we are happy with the software, and I would highly recommend it. My goal this year is to be available to attend the webinars / best practices to utilize the software capabilities better and / or learn something I did not know to improve efficiency.

Pros

Foundation is extremely user friendly and easy to train new employees on how to use the software.

Cons

I would like to see increased character space in some areas, for example the job description field. With significant inflation these past few years, especially since COVID, the average inventory price is misleading in the system as it is calculated from the beginning of time, which is typically not what is reflected in actual current costs. We are constantly reviewing billing to manually adjust the prices for certain inventory items.

### "All in 1 platform with a few kinks to workout."

April 24, 2025

3.0

The bugs that don't get fixed are a big hinderance. There are many issues that I feel should not exist within any platform and feel that they aren't elevated quick enough or tended to at all. Expenses disappearing in the cloud for example. I do however appreciate the mostly seamless process of completing payroll. There are a few things I would like to see changed but for the most part it's an easy process as far as syncing and exporting goes.

Pros

It's an all in one platform making it easy to do back office tasks. The payroll syncing is an easy process and I appreciate the fringes master board making fringes easy to update from year to year.

Cons

It's inability to integrate with other platforms and lack of reporting options to export. There are lots of bugs. I am unable to track peoples wage history without manually typing it in and cannot report on it only view it.

Overall, I think it's a good product that just needs a few modifications to be a really great, more efficient product

Pros

Invoice entry is relatively user friendly if the system is working properly, and the check payments work pretty well, although I'd love to see some seamless integration with Deluxe eChecks to simplify our process.

Cons

The POs can be entered without meeting the invoice requirements, causing issues for invoice entry if the PO has missing or incorrect fields. There are also issues with invoices that were entered from POs that have been revised. The software is also often glitchy and slow and lagging or kicking the user out randomly.

### "So Glad we Switched from QuickBooks to Foundation"

July 29, 2025

4.0

Incredible Customer Support. While you do have to wait for a call back (usually happens within 24 hours) you get an expert who knows the software and accounting needs. Your issue will be resolved quickly.

Pros

Foundation has a unique ability to cope (quite well) with the complex Union / Prevailing Wage environment in construction accounting.

Cons

Some of the UI is clunky and not user friendly. Example, windows that don't show all of the information but mysteriously cannot be sized :-(

Rock solid product with great customer service. Always knowledgeable staff and prompt when issues arise.

Pros

Long time customer and really appreciate the reliability and our ability to perform all of the accounting functions in-house.
