NetSuite for Construction

Every project has moving parts: materials, crews, deadlines, and change orders. NetSuite unifies them all in one cloud system for complete visibility across cost, schedule, and performance.

What NetSuite Does for Construction Businesses

  • NetSuite connects project management, job costing, field operations, and accounting in one cloud platform. Every estimate, purchase, and timesheet flows into one database so project managers, finance, and executives see the same real-time numbers.

    With AI-driven anomaly alerts, live WIP data, and mobile field apps, construction firms prevent overruns, track profitability by project and cost code, and close books faster. Automated progress billing, retainage, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition keep projects on budget from bid to closeout.

Project Management Problems NetSuite Solves

Job-cost data lives in spreadsheets instead of integrated systems, forcing manual updates and creating version-control issues across estimating, project management, and finance.
A cheerful girl with a big smile, representing joy and positivity in performance tuning and workflow automation.
Change orders trigger billing delays and margin loss when approval workflows and cost adjustments require manual updates across multiple systems.
Manual revenue recognition slows month-end close when teams calculate percentage-of-completion and WIP adjustments without automated job-costing integration.
Multi-entity projects complicate reporting and compliance when job costs, retainage, and consolidated financials span different legal entities and tax jurisdictions.
Material price swings wreck budget forecasts when purchase orders and committed costs aren't tracked in real time against project estimates.
Limited visibility hides cost overruns until it's too late when WIP reports and variance analysis lag actual field activity by days or weeks.
Field teams can't access real-time schedules, drawings, or cost data without mobile tools that sync directly with project accounting.
