Key features of Sage Intacct Construction & Real Estate

Cloud-based financial management

Sage Intacct CRE is a true cloud financial management solution, meaning:

  • Secure, real-time access to financial data from anywhere
  • No need for on-premise servers or outdated legacy systems
  • Seamless collaboration between accountants, project managers, and executives

By leveraging cloud technology, construction and real estate companies can make faster, data-driven decisions, avoid costly delays, and improve efficiency across projects.

Automated project accounting

Sage Intacct CRE removes the manual burden of project accounting, ensuring:

  • Automatic tracking of expenses, costs, and revenue
  • Seamless budget management and forecasting

By reducing manual data entry, construction firms can focus on project execution rather than financial administration, while real estate developers gain clearer insights into portfolio performance.

Real-time data and insights

Unlike traditional accounting software, which requires end-of-month reconciliations, Sage Intacct CRE provides instant access to financial data. Companies can:

  • Monitor project costs and revenue in real-time
  • Generate custom financial reports
  • Identify financial risks before they impact cash flow

This level of visibility empowers businesses to optimize financial performance and make informed decisions quickly.

Streamlined contract management

Handling contracts in construction and real estate is complex–especially with multiple tenants, property leases, and long-term project agreements. Sage Intacct CRE simplifies contract management by:

  • Automating contract approvals and workflows
  • Reducing financial discrepancies and legal risks

For real estate firms, this means efficient lease management. For construction companies, it ensures accurate project cost allocation and revenue recognition.

Budgeting and forecasting tools

Sage Intacct CRE helps companies maintain financial discipline with powerful budgeting and forecasting tools.

With budget vs actual project data, firms can:

  • Avoid cost overruns and financial surprises
  • Plan future investments with data-driven confidence
  • Improve overall cash flow management

For real estate developers, this means better portfolio planning, while construction firms can optimise resources and project profitability.
