Briq
Financial automation and forecasting for contractors sitting on top of construction ERP
As of 1 September 2026, Briq's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Pulls job cost data out of Sage, Vista and similar ledgers and automates the finance work around it, from invoice coding to WIP and cash forecasting. Softwr lists it under Construction. Briq is available on Web.
Overview
What Briq does
Briq connects to the accounting and project systems a contractor already runs and automates the finance workflows that normally happen in spreadsheets: coding and approving supplier invoices, building work in progress schedules, forecasting cost at completion, managing overhead allocation and consolidating job cost reporting across entities. It combines document capture, a workflow engine and a modelling layer, and presents the result as dashboards and forecasts rather than as journal entries. The distinguishing point is that Briq is deliberately not an ERP. Construction accounting systems such as Vista and Sage 300 hold the ledger but make month-end reporting and forecasting laborious, and most contractors bridge that gap with a finance analyst and a very large workbook. Briq sells itself as the replacement for the workbook. That means the value depends entirely on how clean the data in the underlying ERP is; if job cost coding is inconsistent, Briq surfaces the inconsistency faster rather than fixing it. Buyers are mid-market and larger specialty and general contractors, usually those with revenue in the tens to hundreds of millions, several operating entities and a finance team that closes slowly. Briq does not publish pricing and quotes per company. The trade-off is stacking cost: you still pay for the ERP, and the payback case rests on reducing finance headcount or closing the month faster, which is harder to prove than a per-seat saving.
What people use it for
- A contractor whose month-end close runs three weeks because WIP is rebuilt by hand in Excel every period
- A group with four operating companies on different chart-of-accounts structures that needs one consolidated margin view
- A specialty contractor processing thousands of supplier invoices a month that wants coding and approval automated rather than keyed
- A finance director who needs a defensible cost-at-completion forecast for a surety or lender rather than a project manager's estimate

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Briq.
- Briq layers on top of an ERP rather than replacing it, so the total finance software bill goes up and the business case has to come from headcount or close-time savings that are hard to measure in advance.
- The output is only as good as job cost coding in the underlying ledger, and contractors with inconsistent cost codes get faster visibility of a mess rather than a clean forecast.
- No pricing is published and the contract is scoped by entities, modules and transaction volume, which makes budgeting impossible without a full discovery exercise.
- Implementation is a data mapping project against systems such as Vista and Sage 300 that were not designed to be read this way, so go-live timelines run into months and depend on your own finance team's availability.
- It targets mid-market and larger contractors; a firm with one entity and a competent controller in Excel will not recover the cost, and the product is oversized for smaller subcontractors.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Does Briq replace my construction accounting system?
No. It reads from Vista, Sage or similar and automates the reporting and forecasting layer above them. You keep the ERP.
What does it cost?
Briq does not publish pricing. Contracts are scoped by module, entity count and transaction volume and quoted annually.
How long does implementation take?
Expect months rather than weeks, because most of the work is mapping and cleaning job cost data from the existing ledger.
Is it useful for a single-entity contractor?
Less so. The strongest case is multi-entity consolidation and high invoice volume; a small contractor gets thinner returns.
