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. ----- ### "Foundation Excellent Product" — 5.0/5 > **Deborah** | *16 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foundation is designed for job costing in the construction industry. It also allows for all documents relating to a job to be stored in one place, making it easy to find everything related to a project in one place. Easily integrates with AIA invoicing and A/R management. Reports are professional and customizable and present a professional appearance to any who review them. > > **Cons**: Some areas require a dual entry process. And some of the additional modules that are supposed to sync with Foundation tend to be a bit glitchy. > > Love the product, and the knowledgeable technical support team. Responses are quick and professional. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "Foundation Review" — 3.0/5 > **Kathy** | *14 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to use and the integration of other platforms. On demand webinars as well as live support make it easy to learn. > > **Cons**: How long requested updates take to be done, and the slowness of the payroll tax department to respond to late payments/reporting. > > Easy to use, great support team. Reporting could be better and easier to run queries, but overall good product. ----- ### "Manager Accounts" — 4.0/5 > **Stephany** | *16 February 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like the most is the ease of use, the ability to create customized reports with Data Genie, and the efficiency of customer support. > > **Cons**: What I find challenging is that when we use custom formats, uploading them into the system and managing them is not as straightforward as using our standard lien releases or change order forms. > > Overall, I value Foundation for its accurate job costing, user-friendly interface, solid reporting tools, and the visibility it gives us into budgets, commitments, and project performance. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
