Corecon
By Rightworks
Corecon is a cloud-based construction management software designed for expanding construction and engineering organizations. It helps manage budgets, track costs, streamline collaboration, contract administration, procurement, time tracking, document management, quality control, scheduling, and cooperation with external teams. Corecon emphasizes total visibility into all operational aspects through dashboards accessible via browsers or mobile devices. It offers integration options with accounting systems and Microsoft Outlook for enhanced workflow. The software is praised for its user-friendly interface and ability to improve project delivery, efficiency, and profitability in construction firms.
Corecon Technologies is an established company operating out of Huntington Beach, CA. There is no public record found of specific funding rounds or valuation as a unicorn or otherwise. The company has grown by developing a comprehensive cloud-based construction management solution suited to different sized construction businesses, focusing on project financial management which often lacks in other generic accounting software. This niche focus has helped Corecon secure relevance and adoption in the construction industry.
Corecon offers a comprehensive product suite including features for lead and bid management, estimating with industry-standard cost databases or custom configurations, contract and procurement management, time tracking, quality control, document control, and collaboration tools for teams distributed across sites. It supports work breakdown structures, compliance alerts, correspondence tools like daily logs and RFIs, and executive dashboards for financial oversight. The system's integration with Sage or QuickBooks accounting software improves financial workflows including change orders, invoicing, and subcontractor payments. Scheduling features accommodate task assignments, multiple schedules per project, and sync/import with Microsoft Excel or Project.
The major acquisition event was Corecon's purchase by Sage in May 2023, after which the product was rebranded Sage Construction Management. This acquisition expanded Corecon’s capabilities and integration within Sage’s suite of construction and real estate solutions. Since then, the product likely benefits from Sage’s broader development resources, although no further acquisitions by Corecon itself are publicly noted.
Recent focus has been on automation of invoicing, billing, and payment processes, mobile accessibility enhancements, and improved collaboration portals including subcontractor communication tools. While detailed new features since the Sage acquisition are not publicly elaborated, the SaaS model ensures continuous updates aimed at improving usability, workflow efficiency, compliance management, and financial controls.
Corecon’s values emphasize customer-focused innovation, efficiency, and reliability for construction project management. The company advocates collaboration and transparency across project teams and clients, reflected in its software design for ease of communication, document sharing, and self-service portals. Its integration with leading accounting solutions underlines a commitment to practical interoperability and user convenience.
Corecon serves a user base largely composed of small to mid-sized general contractors, custom home builders, subcontractors, and engineering firms. The community values Corecon for its intuitive, streamlined interface and the integration with Sage and QuickBooks financial systems. Customer reviews cite the platform as a game-changer for improving project management and financial controls, although some note a learning curve and dated interface elements. Mobile access and subcontractor portals add value for remote team collaboration.
