Charles Kraus:
“I would highly recommend Custom Homebuilder's Solution (CHS) for any size residential construction company. We have been using CHS for over 12 years now, on the build side of our design-build architecture firm. By far, the best feature of this software is the ability to have the job accounting/management and the bookkeeping all in the same place. No need to sync with, or export to another accounting software. I have searched over the years and I have not found another software ….more

FAQ’s
-
-
Your data is stored in a separate database, secured by your unique user ids (that you should protect).
The system and database is hosted on Rackspace.com. The private dedicated server is behind a firewall that only technical support staff can access. The server is RAID configured to ensure that if a drive fails, the backup drive will instantly take over. Rackspace staff will be alerted immediately and will swap out a failed drive with a replacement. NOTE! In the 10+ years that we have hosted with Rackspace, there has NEVER been a drive failure!
Incremental encrypted backups are performed on a daily basis, with a full encrypted backup weekly.
The server is configured with security Essentials Armor
On a daily basis your data is checked for data integrity issues, which are VERY rare. CHS support staff is notified immediately and will take care of any issues. -
Yes, CHS is web based so works in browsers used on PC’s or Macs. This means you can work while in the field, traveling, at home, or in the office.
-
Yes, CHS is based on a standard double entry accounting system, as is QB. There are financials, general ledgers, etc., that any CPA can understand. Tell them you need the information CHS produces FOR builders. And ask them to watch our accounting videos.
AND, ask them how long it takes to get info about how much is in each general ledger account for each job. Then tell them that CHS has a Trial Balance that groups by GL account, then by job with outstanding drill down features. AND, if they do percentage of completion accounting for you, tell them it’s a cinch in CHS. AND tell them that CHS gathers the numbers for closing a job, and provides tools for posting the job closing journal entry!
-
The length of time it takes to set up CHS depends on whether you have the right people in the right seats, have set aside time for them to focus on setup, and on the condition of your current books. CHS provides step-by-step setup tutorials to get started. Builders do get started on creating estimates or proposals within a couple of days because they can load the recommended NAHB cost centers, if they like, set up a job, and dive in.
-
Yes, there are 5 levels of permission for users. Level 1 has access to everything, which is probably the boss and the controller. Level 2 has access to everything, but cannot change major accounting things, like the Chart of Accounts, etc. Level 3 would be for a data entry clerk that can post payables and deposits, etc., but not journal entries, for example. Level 4 is a similar to Level 3 but cannot see payroll records. Level 5 is generally for the field and does not have access to the accounting features.
