Premier Construction Software

By audience

Accounting & Finance

• Runs GL, AP, AR and job costing on the same ledger the project team posts to, so cost-to-complete needs no month-end reconciliation against a separate PM tool.
• Produces real-time WIP schedules with over/under billing, revenue recognition and percentage-complete driven off live committed costs.
• Automates progress billing and AIA-style pay applications, including retainage tracking and lien-waiver collection from subs.
• Handles multi-entity and multi-currency books for firms operating across North America, Australia/NZ and the UAE.
• Pushes approved timecards to a third-party payroll processor (ADP, Dayforce, Miter, Lumber) and imports the journal back — Premier job-costs labour but does not file payroll taxes.

General Contracting

• Manages subcontracts, purchase orders and change orders against a live budget so committed cost is visible the moment a commitment is issued.
• Gives subs a portal to submit invoices, insurance certificates and compliance documents instead of emailing the accounting team.
• Tracks RFIs, submittals and drawing revisions alongside the cost record, keeping the commercial and technical trail on one project.
• Imports estimates from ProEst, STACK, BidBow or PreconSuite and maps them straight to job numbers and cost codes at award.

Project Manager

• Logs and routes RFIs, submittals, tasks, punch lists, inspections and meeting minutes with multi-level approval workflows.
• Shows the PM the same job-cost and forecast numbers accounting sees, so budget conversations start from one number.
• Issues and tracks change orders from origin through owner approval and into the revised contract value.
• Keeps drawings under revision control so field and office are working off the current set.

Executive Leadership

• Rolls job-level cost, cash flow and margin into portfolio dashboards across all entities without exporting to spreadsheets.
• Uses AI forecasting to surface jobs trending toward margin erosion or a cash squeeze while there is still time to act.
• Provides consolidated multi-entity financial reporting for firms running several operating companies or geographies.
• Gives a defensible audit trail on approvals and change history for lenders, sureties and external auditors.

Owner/Developer

• Tracks development budgets, funding draws and cost-to-complete per project across a portfolio of assets.
• Consolidates books across the special-purpose entities developers typically create per project.
• Records owner-side change orders and contract values so exposure against the approved budget stays current.
• Gives visibility into contractor billings and retainage held without waiting on a monthly report.

By phase

Pre-Construction

• Imports the awarded estimate from ProEst, STACK, BidBow or PreconSuite and auto-creates the job's cost-code structure.
• Sets the original budget and contract value that every subsequent commitment and change order is measured against.
• Tracks subcontractor prequalification and compliance documents before commitments are issued (via PreconSuite).

Construction

• Processes subcontractor invoices, AP, progress billings and retainage on the live job-cost ledger each cycle.
• Routes RFIs, submittals, change orders and approvals between field, office and owner with a full audit trail.
• Captures daily logs, photos, inspections, safety incidents and field time from the mobile app straight into the job record.
• Reforecasts cost-to-complete and cash position continuously, with AI flagging jobs drifting off plan.

Closeout & Operations

• Works punch lists and final inspections to completion inside the same project record.
• Releases retainage and collects final lien waivers through the subcontractor portal.
• Closes the job's financials and retains the cost history as a benchmark for estimating future work.
