Pros

“The reporting features are robust, and the software is designed with the construction industry in mind rather than trying to force a generic accounting system to fit our needs.”

Heather G.

Business Operations

“Its robust feature set—especially its powerful job costing, customizable financial reporting, and audit-friendly design—makes it a standout choice for construction and project-based businesses.”

Joseph M.

CFO

“Credit card transactions flow into the system, field time from WorkMax ties into payroll and job costs, and HRHQ helps keep employee information organized.”

Joshua C.

Controller

Pros

“It allows me to see the schedule of values and billing, and I've able to fully preview the prices of the subs before moving forward.”

Noble D.

Project Manager

“I appreciate the control it provides the GC to prevent subcontractors from billing for change orders before they are approved as well as the required collection of compliance documents before payment is released.”

Amanda R.

Director of Finance and Accounting

“It helps streamline payment processes and ensures compliance documentation is properly managed. Once users become familiar with the system, it significantly improves efficiency and communication between contractors and subcontractors.”

Maya C.

Project Manager

Cons

“I don't like that you can't edit an invoice's basic information like description or accounting date without having to void the entire transaction.”

Lisa G.

Director of Finance

“Outdated technology that is not up to par with industry standards, very limited integration capabilities with other systems, awkward and cumbersome user interface.”

Cody B.

Controller

“How long requested updates take to be done, and the slowness of the payroll tax department to respond to late payments/reporting.”

Kathy L.

HR and Payroll Manager

Cons

“A con in GCPay I found is that we cannot turn off the Stored Material billing option by Subcontractor; it turns off the feature for all Subs on that project.”

Stacy P.

Project Accountant

“However, the payment times have been an issue since most contracts are pay when paid and GCPay sits on the money to gain free interest before sending it out to the subcontractors.”

David C.

Project Manager

“It is a little frustrating that I can't send in a bill and it be uploaded (AvidXchange has this ability & it saves alot of time rather then having to "double bill" )”

Michelle N.

Project Manager
