Construction Partner review
Broad accounting and job-costing coverage for large contractors with a high upfront price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Construction Partner combines construction accounting with job costing, estimating, payroll, purchasing, inventory, equipment management, service billing, and labor compliance. It is positioned for general, residential, commercial, industrial, public, and specialty contractors, with roles spanning owners, accountants, estimators, project managers, auditors, and bonding agents. Multi-company support and unlimited networked users make it a strong fit for larger organizations managing several operating entities or distributed accounting access.
Its construction controls cover job costs by labor, materials, equipment, phases, and cost codes, alongside progress, unit-cost, cost-plus, and lump-sum billing. AIA billing, invoice printing, retainage and subcontractor retention tracking, purchase orders, inventory, subcontractor agreements, invoice approval worksheets, and compliance tracking address the commercial workflow in one package. Reporting includes budgets, actual costs, committed costs, WIP, and profitability, while certified payroll and labor-compliance reporting support public and compliance-focused work. Equipment cost allocation, utilization, maintenance, and depreciation add further depth beyond core ledger functions.
According to the vendor's pricing page, the Construction Partner software package is listed at $5,995 with data conversion, installation, setup, and training included. Annual updates are listed at $895 per year, with the first 90 days of maintenance included. Integrations include LCPtracker, JobClock, and Microsoft Excel. The package suits contractors that need broad construction accounting and can justify the initial commitment; smaller firms or buyers seeking a lower-cost entry point should consider a narrower accounting product instead.
