What it is
Construction Partner combines construction accounting, job costing, payroll, equipment, purchasing, timekeeping, and service work in one system and ledger. Accounting includes general ledger, payables and receivables, bank reconciliation, job-coded transactions, and financial reporting. Billing supports progress, unit price, cost-plus, lump-sum, and service work, including AIA-style G702/G703 forms and retention tracking. Payroll includes certified payroll reports for prevailing-wage work, with exports listed for WH-347, CA CPR XML, WA PWCPR, LCPtracker, and AWP Payroll XML. Employees enter time in a phone or desktop browser; approved hours post to job cost and payroll. Entries can include GPS locations, photos, notes, or English and Spanish voice or typed input, followed by weekly review before payroll. The CP Assistant can answer how-to questions and find or count records visible to a user’s role, but does not change data. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing starts at $5,995.
Who it suits. The company identifies owners and accountants at general, specialty, heavy civil, service, and home-building contractors as users. The combined accounting, payroll, billing, and timekeeping functions suit firms managing these activities together.
