Builders

Accounting software for builders

Quote the job, invoice in stages, and see which jobs actually made money.

Builders and small construction firms run jobs over weeks or months, with materials, subcontractors and staged payments. AvrioBooks lets you send quotes, convert them to invoices and bill in stages, record supplier and subcontractor bills with attachments, and raise purchase orders for materials. Tag each job with a segment (Standard plan and above) to see profit per job. Record vans and tools in the fixed asset register, and prepare VAT returns with Making Tax Digital if you are registered.

Construction work can involve the Construction Industry Scheme and the VAT Domestic Reverse Charge. AvrioBooks lets you set tax rates, but it does not file CIS returns, so confirm the treatment with your accountant. It does not schedule jobs, track time or run payroll. Read accounting for electrical and field service businesses.
