Description
STRUCTURE, by C/F Data Systems, is a construction management system that combines accounting, project management, and service management in a single package. With a 30-year history, STRUCTURE is now used by over 500 specialty contractors.
STRUCTURE is designed for specialty service contractors, including earthwork, electrical and teledata, finishing contractors, mechanical, HVAC, ductwork, plumbing, roofing, and others. It is a good fit for medium-sized contractors with 20 to 500 employees, or those that generate between $5 and $100 million in revenue annually.
Job costing and accounting are arguably STRUCTURE's strong points. The accounting module is feature-rich and includes many construction-specific features such as AIA billing, time and materials billing, equipment tracking, prevailing wage reports, insurance certificates, and more. It also includes typical core accounting software capabilities like general ledger, AP/AR, and purchase orders. Finally, STRUCTURE also offers procurement, payroll processing, and order entry in it's accounting module. Accounting can be purchased by itself as a stand-alone system, but the project management and service management modules have to be purchased together in an integrated suite.
In 2007, principles from an ENR top specialy contractor purchased a majority interest in the company. They’re helping C/F Data Systems fund future development and growth.
