What is Construction ERP?

Construction ERP software unites project management, job costing, field mobility, inventory, procurement, CRM, and financials inside a single database. NetSuite’s cloud solution routes every ingested estimate, purchase, timesheet, and progress bill through the same system of record, so executives, project managers (PMs), and field crews work from identical, up-to-date data.

Unify critical functions like job costing, financials, and inventory management

NetSuite for construction

With NetSuite, integrated job-cost controls, AI-driven schedule-and-cost anomaly alerts, and mobile field apps are just some ways the platform unites estimators, site crews, and accounting in real time—cutting delays, preventing overruns, and keeping every project on a profitable trajectory.

NetSuite Construction ERP features

NetSuite takes in estimates and brings them together with project management, field execution, and back-office finance on one cloud platform, pairing real-time cost control with automated compliance to boost visibility, shorten schedules, and cut overhead.

Construction accounting

The automation of percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, retainage, progress billing, change-order cascades, and multi-entity consolidations helps eliminate manual errors. Live WIP and commitment data flow straight from the field to the general ledger, removing the need for spreadsheet reconciliations and helping finance close faster with audit-ready accuracy.

Job costing

Labor, material, subcontract, and equipment costs can be tracked by project, cost code, and phase and compared with estimates in real time. This feature also flags overruns and instantly updates forecasts so management always sees up-to-date margins by customer, region, or business unit.

Field service management

A drag-and-drop dispatch board enables resequencing jobs in real time. The mobile app pushes work orders, drawings, and inventory availability to crews. It also captures photos and time and materials and syncs instantly with job costing, payroll, and customer portals.

Customer relationship management

CRM capabilities provide a complete customer timeline from first bid through project completion and warranty service. NetSuite links emails, proposals, contracts, change orders, and invoices so sales, estimating, and service teams can collaborate seamlessly and forecast backlog with confidence.

Project management

Dashboards surface milestones, resource loads, schedules, and budget versus actuals so PMs can head off delays and overruns. Built-in request-for-information and change-order workflows keep schedules realistic, update job costs automatically, and alert managers to emerging risks.

Compliance and collaboration

A central document repository and automated alerts enforce ASC 606, tax, lien waiver, insurance certificate, safety, and subcontractor prequalification requirements. Portals let owners, architects, and trades share drawings, submittals, and progress updates, helping eliminate email chains and reduce payment disputes.

Inventory management

Demand-based planning, vendor portals, and mobile receiving keep materials and prefab assemblies flowing to the jobsite. Automated requisition-to-pay functionality links POs and committed costs to projects, reducing stockouts, price spikes, and maverick spend.
