General Contractor Software

Today’s successful general contractors know advanced software can be a competitive edge. With over 30 years of experience collaborating with General Contractors, Viewpoint Construction Software has a unique perspective on what makes their jobs easier.



Our in-depth understanding of construction heritage and technological possibilities gives Viewpoint the ability to deliver powerful general contractor software solutions for any mid to large sized General Contractor.business.



With a complete suite of integrated applications for Pre-Construction, Project Management, Job Cost, Accounting and HR - all built on the award-winning Microsoft®.Net Framework using the SQL Server, we have solutions to the problems you face.

Here is a sample of the productivity issues common to General Contractors and what we have developed to address those issues.

Problem: Employees need to share the same data with a single point of entry and receive easy access to reports on key metrics. Problem: Costs and revenue projections take too much time. Problem: Need a better line of sight for managing subcontractors.  Problem: Need to avoid unapproved change orders slipping through the cracks. 
Solution: Data is captured from Operations and fed into a single database where real-time reporting shows exactly how your business is performing. Solution: Tracking expenses vs. revenue is essential where job costs are fed by sub ledgers such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, Inventory and Equipment Management modules which send data for all financial information related to a project including labor, materials and overhead costs.
 
Solution: With the V6 Subcontract Management module, payments cannot be entered if they exceed the revised subcontract amount. Also, retentions are calculated by the percentage set-up in each subcontract.  Solution: Change orders entered once automatically update the subcontract amount and the revised estimate or committed cost in the Job Cost module.
 
       
Problem: Need up-to-the-minute information for managers on job progress.
Problem: Need to lower my risk when it comes to billing. Problem: Need to keep jobs on track to assure profitability.
Problem: Need the ability to spot potential overruns. 
Solution: Flexible forecasting system provides instant feedback on projected quantities, hours and costs. Solution: V6 provides industry-standard progress billings and flexible T&M formats in our Job Billing module to make billing a one-step process.  Solution: Job budgets and change orders may be entered directly in Job Cost or imported from various estimating products through the Project Management module.  Solution: Committed costs are established as the job “buyout” flows through the V6 Purchase Order and Subcontract Ledger modules.
 
       
Problem: Need to eliminate shuffling data and entering same information twice. Problem: Need to provide timely reporting of critical data to every member of your organization.
Problem: Need to track project’s progress and find out about issues sooner to control cost over-runs, make labor adjustments and eliminate excessive paperwork.
 
Solution: V6’s construction Document Management module provides the ability to scan documents, invoices, time cards and change orders and is fully integrated with Project Management and Accounting.
Solution: Viewpoint’s Business Intelligence module provides the knowledge you need to make smart decisions and report to each member of your team.  Solution: V6’s electronic filing cabinet as part of the Document Management module provides instant access to all construction document logs through a drill-down inquiry system.
