Seems to time out quickly if I am not consistently working in Foundation. That can be annoying. > > Love Foundation Soft for the job costing abilities, the PM module is wonderful and of course PR, AR and AP. The way everything works together is perfect. ----- ### "Worth the time" — 4.0/5 > **Jacki** | *11 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really makes job costing easy. There is work involved to get everything set up, but once it's in... > > **Cons**: It's a little out dated. It looks and feels like a 40 year old program. It seems to require a lot of "clicks" and "okays" > > There is a lot of work to get set up and rolling, but overall it's worth it, if you are looking for accounting software that give detailed job cost reports ----- ### "A Step Back in Time" — 2.0/5 > **Cody** | *12 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to extract data from the tool using ODBC Connection to create custom reporting outside of Foundation. > > **Cons**: Constant bugs/issues that are not addressed timely or not tested thoroughly. Outdated technology that is not up to par with industry standards, very limited integration capabilities with other systems, awkward and cumbersome user interface. > > Using Foundation feels like traveling back in time. The software itself is 10-15 years behind industry standards and the company has not embraced advances in software development. Foundation attempts to catch-up but offering "bolt-on" solutions that on average are sub-par and often create as many problems as they solve. I would recommend being slow to adopt any new modules Foundation has to offer. The support team is responsive to questions/issues but often do not have a resolution or technical expertise to properly address issues. On several occasions, Foundation has made a change to the software that was not communicated that has caused issues with how we use the software. Only after reaching out to Foundation are, we made aware that they changed the functionality with disrupts our operations. The core functionality of the tool is adequate to manage the finances of a construction business. However, you will be paying a premium price for a system that offers basic functionality. If you are looking for a software that offers solutions to automate task and increase efficiency, I would recommend exploring other options. ----- ### "Fairly Good Overall" — 3.0/5 > **Lisa** | *3 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that we can pull certified payrolls directly from the system. The customer service is mostly very good and helpful. > > **Cons**: It is a bit clunky and hard to see the details without digging in further. Finding the information, you need can be difficult. I cannot pull cash basis reports. Certified payrolls are slow to print and save. They system doesn't keep historical information well. > > Overall, it is a pretty good system and ultimately does the job that we need it to. We do have to manage a lot outside of our accounting system such as changes to employees' benefits. ----- ### "Great ERP System" — 5.0/5 > **Lupita** | *11 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent job costing depth FOUNDATION gives very strong visibility into budget vs. actuals, committed costs, change orders, and job profitability. It feels designed for people who live inside job cost reports every day. > > **Cons**: Many users say the system is powerful but hard to learn, especially for new staff or non-accounting users. Basic tasks can require multiple screens and steps, which hurts efficiency early on. > > Overall, what stood out most was that FOUNDATION clearly understands how construction companies actually operate, and it’s built more for financial accuracy and job control than surface‑level simplicity—which is often exactly what construction accounting teams need. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/2032/foundation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
