Description

Premier Construction Software is an AI-powered cloud ERP built for growing general contractors who need tight control over job costs, WIP, and cash flow across multiple projects and entities. It unifies construction accounting, project management, and field operations so GCs can eliminate spreadsheets, speed up billing, and protect margins with real-time financial visibility. How we help GCs win more work and protect margin: • Construction cloud ERP built for general contractors, owners, and developers managing multi-project, multi-entity portfolios. • Advanced construction accounting with detailed job costing, real-time WIP reporting, and cash-flow forecasting to spot issues before they hit the P&L. • Integrated project and field management with RFIs, subcontracts, drawings, and change orders tied directly to the budget and schedule. • Automated billing, approvals, and payroll workflows (including subcontractor and pay app portals) to reduce manual entry and speed up collections. • Native AI and predictive intelligence that surface risks, recommend next actions, and provide executive-ready dashboards for owners and project leaders. • Unlimited entities, consolidated reporting, and role-based dashboards so finance and operations see the same numbers in real time. Trusted by GCs and Land Developers globally, Premier saves time, cuts risk, and helps you move forward with clarity. With Premier, you’re not just adopting software, you’re partnering with a trusted leader committed to your success.
