Construction accounting software for builders

Construction Industry Accounts (CIA) is designed solely for the Construction Industry.

Designed specifically for builders, Construction Industry Accounts (CIA) is accounting software designed to handle your accounts and job costing, as well as CIS, Invoice management, Retentions, Stage Payments and Certifications. At HBXL we believe Construction Industry Accounts (CIA) to be the best accounting software package on the market for builders!

CIA Accounting software for builders


Why choose Construction Industry Accounts (CIA)?

#1. Save time with fully integrated software

You only need to enter everything once, and no need to keep multiple spreadsheets to keep on top of your accounts. The majority of Construction Industry Accounts software customers used to have spreadsheets to record all the different complexities of the business such as CIS deductions, Job Costing and Retentions and then update an accounts system as well. CIA is developed specifically for the building industry and not simply a generic accounts package tailored for builders so it knows what a builder needs! because it's a fully integrated package one entry is all that’s necessary to update ALL relevant areas.

For example, when entering a taxable subcontractors invoice, the Accounts, CIS Ledger, VAT and Job Costing are all updated simultaneously.

#2. Raise invoices quickly and accurately

From variations to the initial contract, CIA allows you to easily identify what needs to be added to the invoice when you bill the customer. This avoids any slip-ups or forgetting to invoice any smaller items or variations, and you'll never again lose the costs amongst the initial contract.

#3. Save money with detailed Job Costing

As invoices are entered into Construction Industry Accounts the costs are booked to the relevant jobs automatically, allowing you to see your actual costs against the budgets you've allowed for. This automation gives you the power to spot when you've been overcharged, or spot anomalies in your budgets.

#4. Links with Award-Winning EstimatorXpress

Using EstimatorXpress you can win the job with an accurate, professional estimate and then export the full estimate immediately into CIA (Construction Industry Accounts) and you're then ready to record your actual costs along the life of the job and log them against your estimated costs. This allows you to immediately spot any potential problems or over-runs as you near your total budget. This puts you in total control of the costs of the job and ensure you don't go over budget. Or if you do, you can make allowances!



#5. Accounts software JUST for builders and contractors

CIA is written and developed solely for the Construction Industry! There are no bolt-on packages or spreadsheets needed to cover unique needs such as CIS and job costing, this means the software is much easier to use than other packages on the market.



#6. Keep up-to-date with changing legislation

With CIA you automatically receive upgrades as and when legislation changes. When the CIS legislation changed in 2007 our users had up-to-date software before the new regulations were introduced! Similarly, there is new legislation planned for 2010 which involves the necessity to produce VAT returns online (April 2010), and PAYE changes.

#8. Software that grows WITH your business

As your company grows there is no need to buy a new system as CIA has additional modules to add to your system as they become requirements for your business. For instance you can add the Purchase Orders module, Payroll, Stock, Plant Hire, Sales Orders, Works Order, Schedule of Rates, Document Production and many more bolt-ons. You can also update to the latest editions of the software as new versions are released.



#9. Optional PAYE Module

The PAYE module is a simple to use, yet comprehensive payroll package, meeting the HMRC's requirements for PAYE. The main advantage the PAYE module gives over other payroll packages is its integrated job costing, allowing you to book costs to the appropriate jobs (including the Employers National Insurance).

It also conforms with the HMRC's requirements for year-end and in-year electronic filing, and costs £999 + VAT for unlimited PAYE throughout the year.

Key features:

  • Fully HMRC compliant for online filing

  • Links to Job Costing

  • Links to nominals

  • Pay weekly, fortnightly, 4 weekly or monthly

  • Calculates all deductions

  • Allows loan repayments

>> Order your PAYE Module direct from the HBXL Online Shop for £999
