The fewer employees a contractor has, the more crucial it is to have proper systems in place to manage the business, keep tabs on cash position, and enable intelligent decisions about the health and future of the company-freeing employees to do what they do best.<br/> <br/> <strong>TV SUCCESS TURNED BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY <\/strong><br/> With a background in mechanical engineering and residential construction, contractor Chip Wade&#039;s talents landed him on the Atlanta, Georgia, team of HGTV&#039;s popular <em>Designed to Sell<\/em> series in fall 2007, and most recently as the General Contractor for HGTV&#039;s <em>Curb Appeal the Block<\/em>. Wade&#039;s creativity and expertise have made him a favorite with viewers, and quickly generated additional demand for his building and design expertise around Atlanta. <br/> After a year on <em>Designed to Sell<\/em>, Wade found himself in the enviable position of having more opportunities than he could manage, and teamed up with a business partner, Ryan Taylor, to offer a refreshing approach to design along with creative, high-level construction-engineering and fabrication expertise. <br/> Formed late last year, their firm, Wade Taylor, LLC, is a custom design-build firm that provides distinctive, turnkey design, planning, and construction services for the high-end commercial and residential markets. Their services are geared to corporate facilities, restaurants, hotels, retail, religious facilities, and other commercial and residential clients. Taylor&#039;s background in commercial construction pairs perfectly with Wade&#039;s residential expertise, enabling them to cover this wide spectrum, from small scale residential renovations to large scale high-end commercial projects.<br/> Despite the broad range of their expertise, they are essentially a five-man shop, relying on subcontractor assistance, and requiring exceptional organization on the back end to help them stay on top of their projects and cash flow to make solid business decisions. By implementing a software solution to help them do all of those things easily, Wade Taylor can take on projects of any size, large or small, and focus on what they do best: designing and delivering distinctive design and construction in the Atlanta market. <br/> <br/> <strong>SUPPORT FOR A GROWING BUSINESS<\/strong><br/> Wade and his partner recognized the need for a powerful back-end solution early on. They were looking for a system with extensive reporting, detailed tracking, business analytics, and construction-specific functionality, but also a system that was intuitive and easy to use. <br/> &quot;When we first started, we were using one solution,&quot; Wade says, &quot;Ryan had used it in a previous business, and we had the perception that it was basic and user friendly. What we quickly realized was that it was <em>too<\/em> basic. The scope of job and financial management that we needed was too much for the software-we may as well have been using Excel. With our eye on growth, we realized we needed more, so we started looking around for something that could do all of what we needed, but was still easy to use.&quot;<br/> <br/> <strong>IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT SOLUTION<\/strong><br/> When looking to implement a back-end solution, Wade Taylor-like many small contractors-needed a system that could automate business management functions so that Chip and Ryan could spend more time designing and building. Implementing a solution with the ability to perform cash flow projection, detailed job costing, forecasting, and detailed reporting was parmount. With this in mind, below are some key features that Wade has found critical to the success of the business.<br/> <strong><em>Cash Flow Management.<\/em><\/strong> &quot;Cash flow projection is big for any firm, but with the type of accounting we&#039;re doing with our business with the manpower we have, efficient accessibility to information is critical. The ability to get a snapshot of where we are at any point in time enables us to immediately get the information we need to make intelligent business decisions.&quot; <br/> <strong><em>Access.<\/em><\/strong> Quick and easy access to documents is immensely valuable to Wade, who is always on the go. The ability to keep certificates of insurance, plans, estimates, and any other related documents for a job right at his fingertips in the accounting system allows him to quickly add attachments to reports and complete administrative tasks with ease.<br/> <strong><em> Forecasting.<\/em><\/strong> As Wade Taylor&#039;s business continues to grow, implementing a solution that creates as many efficiencies as possible was important-especially features that enable forecasting and future planning. &quot;The way the employees tie into the job costing-to see the extent to which an employee was utilized for which job is helpful for future planning, and gives us a leg up on being able to forecast labor needs,&quot; Wade says.<br/> Wade chose Peachtree Premium Accounting for Construction, a solution that encompasses all of these features. &quot;Right off the bat, we were able to easily track job costs and profitability, which helps us stay organized, and now we can compile comprehensive reports quickly because of that organization along the way,&quot; he says. Peachtree&#039;s customizable My Business dashboard gives Wade a graphical display of where his business is at any one moment, providing him the information he needs to make confident decisions about the direction of his business. <br/> &quot;For us, having the right software in place is critical, and enables us to do so much more. It really opens up the scope of what we&#039;re able to do. Because we have the back end covered so well, we have the ability to make informed decisions and the capacity to do just about anything.&quot; <br/> As for those firms that still use paper and pencil or Excel, Wade recommends taking another look at your system, &quot;With Excel, you&#039;re not privy to on-the-fly info that helps to make smart business decisions. You&#039;re rolling the dice. You can always make the right decision if you have the right information in front of you; you&#039;re shooting yourself in the foot if you have technology on your side and don&#039;t use it. It&#039;s much easier to stop mistakes before they happen. The right software protects you all the way through.&quot;<\/span><\/div><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; Previous Article&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D6456DE-69D7-0001-833D-2DF5E9E03990&CardId=162038&RowIndex=15&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D6456DE-69D7-0001-833D-2DF5E9E03990&#037;26CardId&#037;3D162038&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D15&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906\",\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"},"v8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906":{"hiddenOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906' style='display:none'>","hiddenClosing":"<\/div>","visibleOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906'>","visibleClosing":"<\/div>","contents":"<div style='padding-top:3px;' align='left' id='full_1'><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.moderncontractorsolutions.com/articlesdetail.php?id_articles=597&id_artcatg=5' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef23ea18e00123ed68e641262a&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.moderncontractorsolutions.com&#037;2Farticlesdetail.php&#037;3Fid_articles&#037;3D597&#037;26id_artcatg&#037;3D5&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef23ea18e00123ed68e641262a\",\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D643FD6-399A-0001-FB51-14801840144F&CardId=108799&RowIndex=4&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef203b2b3c0120437773700bbf&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D643FD6-399A-0001-FB51-14801840144F&#037;26CardId&#037;3D108799&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef203b2b3c0120437773700bbf\",\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='zwInlineTitle' style='text-align:left;height:auto'><a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D6456DE-69D7-0001-833D-2DF5E9E03990&amp;CardId=162038&amp;RowIndex=15&amp;Product=*&amp;Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef21eacb970121effc99a11906&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D6456DE-69D7-0001-833D-2DF5E9E03990&#037;26CardId&#037;3D162038&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D15&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);' target='_blank' >Sage Advances BIM Capabilities with First Autodesk Quantity Takeoff Plug-in to Help Architects, Engineers, and Contractors Develop Faster More Accurate Estimates<\/a><span class='zwClear'><\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentExtra' id='extra_1'><\/div><div class='zwContentText'><span class='zwInline'><p><b>Beaverton ,  OR - May 04, 2009<\/b> - With advancements in Building Information Modeling (BIM) creating new opportunities for architects, engineers, contractors and owners (A/E/C/O) to significantly improve efficiency, integration with related systems is vital to realizing the potential gains. Sage today announced the market&#039;s first integration with Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2010, providing a critical link with Sage Timberline Office Estimating. The new integration will enable users to automatically export quantity information from Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2010 to Sage Timberline Office Estimating and generate a cost estimate with one click, resulting in faster and more accurate cost estimating for BIM users.<\/p> <p>&quot;The beauty of BIM is that it gives designers and contractors the ability to quickly identify and resolve issues in the model, helping them avoid issues in the field where they&#039;re more expensive and time consuming to resolve. We&#039;re adding another layer of efficiency by automating cost estimating from the BIM model with absolute precision using the Sage Timberline Office Estimating plug-in to Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2010. This will save real dollars on every job,&quot; said John Geffel, Senior Vice President and General Manager Sage Construction and Real Estate Solutions.<\/p> <p>Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2010 is the highly anticipated design-to-cost tool that enables cost estimators to collect and quantify multi-format design data and high-quality images seamlessly with the Autodesk Revit platform for BIM. The new link to Sage Timberline Office Estimating is already in use at selected customer sites and is the first plug-in with Autodesk Quantity Takeoff on the market. It will be made broadly available in Summer 2009.<\/p> <p>&quot;Since the BIM process is built on the use of coordinated, reliable design information, Autodesk feels that providing an accurate link from design to cost estimation is a critical step in the process,&quot; said Timothy Douglas, Industry Segment Manager, Autodesk Construction. &quot;Our customers can now pull data from the model directly into Sage Timberline Office Estimating and use that quantity and cost information throughout the design and construction process.&quot;<\/p> <p>John Tocci, chairman of the Associated General Contractors BIM Forum and an ENR Top 25 industry newsmaker in 2008 sees this type of innovation as vital to progressing BIM.<\/p> <p>&quot;We were pleased to play a role in bringing together two of the construction industry&#039;s most important software firms,&quot; said Tocci. &quot;The smooth exchange of vital cost and quantity information between the industry&#039;s leading BIM application and estimating software is a major advancement toward our goal of a fully integrated virtual construction tool. This collaboration will measurably advance the promise of BIM and Integrated Project Delivery to eradicate waste, propel productivity and restore relationships.&quot; <\/p> <p>The plug-in is the latest in a series of new developments from Sage over the past six months designed to deliver improved customer experience through usability and performance enhancements in Sage Timberline Office, including 64-Bit compatibility, estimating with multicurrency functionality, and an innovative integration between Estimating and Project Management. <\/p> <p>Sage has a growing portfolio of business management solutions specifically tailored for the construction and real estate industries.

The move also saw them join more than 5.8 million businesses worldwide that rely on Sage for their business applications.<\/p> <p>Brothers Concrete, a Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. firm specializing in retail, institutional, office, and residential structures, implemented Sage Timberline Office Estimating about five years ago, replacing a complex spreadsheet-based system. Accounting and project management tasks were tackled in two separate unrelated programs.<\/p> <p> &quot;We had three systems, one for estimating, one for accounting, and another for project management,&#039; said Guy Goddard, vice president and chief financial officer for Brothers Concrete. &quot;Each system worked well independently, but we didn&#039;t have a way to see the big picture. We needed an integrated system that would bring these components together and let us look at the company&#039;s performance as a whole.&#039;<\/p> <p>Goddard previously worked for a contractors&#039; bonding agency and recalled that Sage Timberline Office was highly regarded by both the agency and its contractor customers for comprehensive accounting, project management, and estimating components. &quot;It has a great reputation in the industry,&#039; said Goddard. Based on that reputation and the company&#039;s positive experience with the Estimating component of the solution, Brothers Concrete moved its entire operation to Sage Timberline Office.<\/p> <p>The company&#039;s local Sage Authorized Partner, Axlin Data Systems, was able to migrate data from the old accounting software to Sage Timberline Office. &quot;We brought customer, vendor, and general ledger data over,&#039; explained Goddard. &quot;It was a perfect transition, very smooth.&#039;<\/p> <p>The outcome has benefited the entire company, cutting some processes that took weeks down to days. One significant improvement has been the availability of productivity reports.  &quot;Our most critical expense is labor,&#039; said Goddard. &quot;So understanding and influencing how productive we are is a major component in job profitability.&#039;<\/p> <p>Additionally, the success of a job often depends on a contractor&#039;s ability to make the right decisions quickly. Sage Timberline Office Project Management empowers Brothers Concrete with the data it needs to make quick, well-informed decisions.<\/p> <p>&quot;Management has one place where we can see exactly where we stand at any moment,&#039; said Goddard. &quot;For example, I can instantly see the status of contracts, profit, billings, costs, cash, RFIs (requests for information), and change orders all at once.&#039;<\/p> <p>The transition from spreadsheets to the state-of-the-art estimating solution also represented a major improvement in the company&#039;s workflow.<\/p> <p>&quot;It was like moving from the stone-age to the new age,&#039; said Goddard. &quot;We can easily bring up prior estimates to use as the basis for new ones and we can update labor and material costs in one location and have those costs flow through the estimates. As a result of Sage Timberline Office our estimating process has reached a high level of sophistication and accuracy.&#039;<\/p> <p><br/> Sage has a growing portfolio of business management solutions specifically tailored for the construction and real estate industries.

And these numbers are all the more agonizing since they directly followed a decade of tremendous record-breaking growth in the construction market.<\/p> <p>Some of the incentives in the 2009 stimulus bill, including the first-time homebuyer credit and public infrastructure spending may bolster building, but construction firms and contractors need specialized software more than ever before to help strengthen their businesses by running more efficiently and tracking all costs.<\/p> <p>Conversely, many service-oriented contractors such as heat and air firms, remodelers, electricians and plumbers, have seen somewhat of an increase in activity, as some Americans have chosen to add-on to their existing houses, improve energy efficiency or make other alterations, as an alternative to getting a new home. For these businesses, managing growth, service schedules and client relationships is more important than ever, and several products are available that incorporate features designed specifically for these tasks.<\/p> <p>Fortunately, there are many options for accounting and business management software for both builders and service contractors, ranging from basic job cost add-on modules for general business accounting systems to entire systems designed specifically for either the construction or contractor industry.<\/p> <p>Some programs are general business management software that have an available job costing or construction management module or industry-tailored version, versus a few programs on the market that are specifically geared for builders or those in the contract service industry. All of these programs include essential back-end financial functions, including GL, AR, AP and payroll options, while also offering job cost reporting and productivity analyses. Additional tools for equipment management and maintenance tracking, inventory and customer management add increased functionality. The more advanced systems even offer smartphone and texting capabilities for dispatch, scheduling and customer data input, along with integration to web-based mapping systems.<\/p> <p>Global and U.S. economic conditions aren&#039;t going to change overnight, which makes it all the more important for construction and contractor firms to more aggressively manage their business, from the nuts and bolts of their financials, precise project reporting, efficient scheduling of people and resources, and marketing activities. Those who are most successful at managing these tasks today are those who will be best positioned to survive the downturn and thrive when it passes.<\/p> <p>When the current glut of homes on the market is absorbed, construction will rebound. After all, people will always need new homes and they will always need their houses or its utilities repaired, remodeled or replaced. Since construction and service contractors are often a large client segment for professional accounting practices, helping to ensure their success is also of significant interest to their public accountants. This review section looks at several programs available for builders and contractors that may be able to help your clients survive and thrive.<\/p><\/span><\/div><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D642F5B-06D2-0001-7560-362154271B00&CardId=91530&RowIndex=5&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef1faa9589011fb93452c1108b&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D642F5B-06D2-0001-7560-362154271B00&#037;26CardId&#037;3D91530&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D5&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef1faa9589011fb93452c1108b\",\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;Next Article &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7d535f1d50245a011d5076e1e004ec\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"}};
