Sage Construction Management (formerly Corecon) Reviews & Product Details

What is was told it could do. But, come to find out it cannot yet. The time keeping will not sync. The prime contract will not sync. Most employees will not use it due to the fact that it just spins. The plans will not load. We cannot switch to multiple plan pages. Can't scroll over on the same plan. This needs fixed asap. The program is almost not usable. We have to used onedrive to view plans because it's not practical on sage. It could be a great software. Right now I seriously regret switching from procore. If it did what I was told it would do and if it didn't spin the whole time it would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Read above we cannot use it enough to tell. The jobs won't sync supposedly unless we start in sage cm. We did that ant it's still not syncing properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows detailed management of customers, leads, estimates, projects, purchase orders, subcontracts, etc., from anywhere you have an internet connection. It enables me to see real-time project financials with standard and custom dashboards and reports. I have used Corecon for 12 years now with two different companies.

The custom reports will require training to create but are powerful when you learn how to make them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon is user friendly and solves the problem of converting an estimate into trackable cost codes so project managers can properly control their jobs. I also like that it's one platform easily eliminating multiple software that was used in the past to accomplish the same tasks - creations of RFPs, POs, Subcontracts, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used this program for over 12 years and have yet to find a dislike. I attribute this to the interactive customer support that constantly listens to their customers needs and is committed to making their product better. Therefore, they are always adding new features.

Corecon is one of the most user-friendly software for estimating and project management. It has easy tabs for putting up a proposal which i like the most. These tabs also include the Division Cost Codes, making it easy to detail my cost proposal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike so far. It covers all the basics for estimating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart fro being a Cloud Based tool, Corecon has many features and very functional features, and it integrates other Applications like Quickbook and others.

Corecon is also perfect solution for easy job opportunities management, the tool reporting option works very well allowing the user to do some report editing.

Scheduling, Bid management, time tracking, Corecon offers the real solution on that and the technical offered is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the new users, Corecon is not a tricky tool to start manipulating and smoothly run multiple construction projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon V8 has an impressive breadth of features that cover essentially every process or function we perform in managing our work and running the business. Combined with their Corecon Link utility and an accounting program, this software could truly be a firm’s “quiver killer” solution for construction PM. Corecon V8 integrates departments, processes, and data that would otherwise be separate and disconnected, thus reducing the potential for inaccuracies that is inherent with doing a lot of manual data entry or having work flows split between Office and the plethora of niche PM tools and apps available nowadays.

With its database pedigree, Corecon V8 excels at putting our data to work for us. The various import functions saved us a ton of time during initial setup, and the plethora of export and reporting options is really satisfying from a QC and project analysis point of view. The software’s built-in report/analysis templates and dashboards make visualizing data and examining trends efficient and painless.

Furthermore, this database framework minimizes re-entries and time-consuming data updates by enabling strong interoperability between the various modules and features. The paths our data will take through the different modules are well-designed and sensible; this is clearly a solution designed by contractors, for contractors.

On that subject, we have found that many programs that aim to be comprehensive PM solutions fall short in that they become so powerful and unwieldy that using them becomes a tedious chore. Despite its impressive range of features— and the depth of detail possible within those features— Corecon avoids this pitfall by making the underlying system logic very accessible to the average user. Their process diagrams and detailed support articles provide clear guidance on how to interact with the system to ensure cross-module functionality and accuracy.

For a given function or process, the corresponding Corecon support resource will almost always include a graphic or concise verbiage to tell the user, “OK, this is what this field represents, this is the allowable format for data, and these are the connections and logic rules that govern how this data is used elsewhere in the system.” As a junior PM professional, this also helps me understand how these processes and data sets relate out in the real world too.

As a result, the software feels very intuitive and enjoyable to interact with, and we have found it relatively easy to implement by following their detailed implementation plans. I am pleased with the level of quality and detail in each of their support articles/videos and I have had pleasant interactions with Corecon’s staff when I’ve had to ask for help.

Finally, the TeamLink Portal is a unique innovation I have not encountered before. It allows external stakeholders and team members to view and (if permissioned) interact with some project records. As the Project Coordinator, I foresee this feature saving me a lot of time by reducing the number of inbound check-ups and status requests that I must handle.

I haven’t found anything I dislike about the software yet. We’ve had to adjust (and improve!) how some of our processes are done, but that is to be expected with implementing a solution of this scope.

One thing I would really enjoy would be tooltip help boxes with links to the main KB. Page and feature headers already have a help icon that links quickly to the relevant documentation though. But maybe a tooltip textbox with a brief snippet and then a ‘More…’ hyperlink might be nice, but that’s really just my personal preference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon is organized, integrates well with my Planswift software, and contains all the elements we need to quote and complete orders. I believe we use Quickbooks for accounting, but Corecon does generate invoices, POs, quotes, etc. which generally very little effort. I love the way it integrates with my other software for quoting.

Sometimes it can be slow, and lately it's been kicking me out. Not sure if they're working on those issues. Sometimes navigation between leads can be clunky as well, which is frustrating. It definitely has a learning curve, but if someone is already used to working with similar industry products, it's not that hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon while great in its depth of value it also is extremely user-friendly. The software is easy to navigate through for all of my site supervisors as well as myself. Webinar's on a weekly basis to ensure that any questions that you have are answered through there, as well as any emails to tech support are always responded to in a very prompt manner.

I am greatly looking forward to seeing the data that we've collected as a company to refine our estimating skills, and fully take advantage of everything that Corecon has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The information regarding custom log reports could use a bit of work branching between the different systems of Corecon. IE. Allowing a custom log report to pull information from Time and Expenses instead of having to split Time into one report and Expenses into a second report. *Albeit, the reports work extremely well on their own Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon is very helpful in keeping our company organized and ensuring easy access to all project documents. It is a singular hub for all information pertaining to each of our projects. it has eliminated using several other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With having so many different features, it took some time to onboard our entire team. I also would like Corecon to have more email features, to be able to send Journals from your email that will be directly uploaded to Corecon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon is simple to use and is very flexible. The ability to import data from excel into Corecon is very efficient. The ability to customize templates for reporting is priceless. Using Corecon has provided efficiencies in all areas of our construction workflow process.

The training and webinars available are very informative and the Q&A sessions continue to be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Corecon provided so much flexibility that it took administrative time internally to create a company workflow process. I have used many software products and would much prefer the flexibility that Corecon makes available versus submitting a change request for basic programming functions. This is a very user friendly system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
