Why Foundation?
Join a collaborative engineering culture that values innovation, technical excellence, and work-life balance. We offer outstanding benefits, an award-winning workplace, and the opportunity to influence the future of construction software while working alongside talented engineers.
Since 1985, Foundation Software has been helping contractors run the business side of construction with software and services built for the entire project lifecycle.
Our flagship construction accounting program, FOUNDATION, specifically blends job costing, payroll and project management with daily field operations, giving you real-time data and accurate financial reporting at the individual job level.
For contractors looking to streamline how money moves through their business, our expense & pay platform, FOUNDATION Pay, provides tools to track spending and simplify customer payments.
The rest of our integrated product suite, which consists of Payroll4Construction, WorkMax®, McCormick, The EDGE® and HQSuite, includes everything from payroll and time tracking to takeoff & estimating, HR, project management and safety.
Together they handle the complex, construction-specific workflows that generic software simply can't.
Beyond providing the most efficient software in the industry, Foundation also delivers exceptional user experiences.
Behind every Foundation product is an in-house team of US-based specialists who know construction, know the software and are dedicated to your success from implementation through ongoing support.
Over four decades in construction have given Foundation Software a depth of industry knowledge that only comes with time. That understanding of how contractors work is built into every product we make.
