How we work
Your financials in order in 30 days. Not 6 to 8 months.
We connect to the ERP you already use, migrate your data in the first few days, and calibrate every report until the numbers tie out. You keep running jobs. We get your books under control.
Typical ERP or software rollout
6 to 8 months
- Sign, then wait for an onboarding rep to be assigned
- Data migration lands two to four months in
- Rounds of training on a system you can't see your data in yet
- Reports still don't match how you run the business
BuildFlash
Under 30 days
- Kickoff on day one, environment live by day two
- Your data migrated in the first few days
- You review your own jobs and numbers from week one
- Reports calibrated to how you actually run your company
Your first week
Sign on Friday. See your numbers by Tuesday.
No months of waiting for a data migration. By the end of week one, it's your system, with your data, showing the reports you need.
- 1Monday
Kickoff and connections
We meet with your team, collect ERP credentials, get whitelisted on your servers, and gather your historical WIP reports.
- 2Tuesday
Your environment goes live
Your BuildFlash workspace is stood up and connected to your systems. You can log in and start exploring with your own data.

Walkthrough with you
We sit down together, walk through every report and app, and capture what to calibrate next.
The 30-day plan
A sprint to financials you can trust
We don't ask what you want and hope for the best. We've run construction finance. We tell you what you need and build it.
Week 1
Connect and migrate
- We connect to your ERP, plus Procore or any other system you run
- 100% of your historical data migrated into BuildFlash
- Financials, WIP, and forecast reports stood up on your real numbers
Weeks 2 to 3
Calibrate to how you run
- Rounds of calibration until every report matches how you look at the business
- Reports sliced by division, project manager, and customer
- Hands-on training for your office and leadership team
Week 4
Fully running
- Monthly financial package delivered on a predictable schedule
- 13-week cash flow forecast your team trusts
- You stop exporting to Excel to get answers
Before kickoff
Four things from you. We handle the rest.
Have these ready on day one and your financials will be delivered clean on day two. Our automated QA checks confirm everything balances before you ever see a report.
ERP credentials
Read access to your accounting system so we can pull your jobs, costs, and billings.
IP whitelisting
Most construction ERPs run on SQL servers. Your IT team adds us to the allow list.
Historical WIP reports
Your saved quarterly WIP exports. ERPs can't rerun past WIPs, so we use these to tie out every number.
Your other systems
Procore, Autodesk, timecards, estimating. Anything you want reported alongside your financials.
Migration without the rip-and-replace
Keep your ERP. Finally get the reports out of it.
Your data stays in your accounting system. We read it and put it into the format you need: income statement, WIP report, cash flow. No more fighting Crystal Reports just to add a column.
Construction ERPs
Spectrum
Foundation
Sage 100
Jonas Premier
CMiC
Project management and more
Procore
Autodesk Construction Cloud
- Excel exports
Combine ERP and Procore data into a single report, like job cost against field progress.
Built on a permissions-based security layer. Read-only connections, encrypted in transit, and role-based access so each person sees only what they should.
After day 30
Start with financials. Grow from there.
Once your numbers are right, everything else builds on them. Add modules whenever you're ready. Every module is included in your platform, with no extra license fees.
Custom reports
Job financials, budget analysis, sales commissions, sales and use tax.
Project management
Run jobs and invoicing inside BuildFlash, or keep Procore.
Timecards
Replace your separate timecard system and cut a subscription.
Service
Service work connected to the same numbers as your jobs.
Estimating
Estimates that flow straight into budgets and forecasts.
Something isn't quite right? Tell us. Most changes are live the next day, not on next year's roadmap.
Common questions
Do I have to migrate all my jobs or switch project management systems?
No. We start with your financials. Your ERP and project management tools stay exactly where they are. We connect to them and read the data.
Is BuildFlash a service or a platform?
Both. You get a construction finance platform connected to your systems, plus a team that has run construction financials, setting it up, calibrating it, and delivering your monthly package.
How do I know the numbers are right?
We tie every report out against your historical WIP snapshots and run automated QA checks to confirm everything balances before it reaches you.
Who is BuildFlash built for?
General contractors and subcontractors doing roughly $10M to $200M a year. That's the stage where the office can't keep up in Excel, but you don't have an in-house BI team yet.
What happens after the first 30 days?
You're fully running, and we keep delivering your monthly financial package. From there you can add reports and modules whenever you want.
30 days from now, your financials could be done.
