Sage Master Builder, acquired from Intuit in 2006, provides industry specific construction management software for contractors, subcontractors, and trades such as homebuilding, remodeling, HVAC, electrical, commercial and heavy construction.

Master Builder integrates four areas: estimating, project management, accounting, and analysis/reporting. The estimating module allows contractors to do plan takeoffs, create and export proposals, and track client leads. The production module includes features allowing users to verify job costs, create job cost reports and manage scheduling, purchase orders, subcontracts, change orders and equipment. An accounting module allows users to manage a general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, control billing, payroll, loans and inventory. The analysis tool makes it possible to create financial charts and graphs, includes reports and a custom report writer; it also includes a job cost analysis feature, the vendor said.
