At a glance
What FOUNDATION does
FOUNDATION is built around the accounting situations that make construction difficult: job and phase cost, union and fringe rules, certified payroll, retainage, subcontract commitments, unit-price or progress billing, and equipment costs.
Its core remains a current Windows product, available locally or through FOUNDATION Hosted. Buyers should distinguish the ERP from Foundation Software’s newer browser and mobile products, then quote each module, connected application, hosting choice, conversion, and training requirement.
Pricing visibilityContact sales
Foundation Software prices FOUNDATION by required modules, users, hosting, implementation, and connected products. There is no stable public package price.

Before the demo
What stands out, and what to pin down
What stands out on paper
- Construction-specific payroll handles demanding union and public-work cases

Questions for the vendor
- The core application is Windows software, not a native browser ERP
- ProjectHQ, CrewHQ, Service Dispatch, estimating, and other connected products are separate scope
- Foundation recommends a structured implementation that commonly spans weeks and requires payroll and job-cost cleanup
