Essentially, there is little difference in the construction features within Sage 50 Construction and Sage 200 Construction - the main difference is between the number of users possible, the advanced 200 interface, the pure accounting functions and stock control.  Sage 50 Accounts or Sage 200 Financials are used for making payments, recording receipts, bank processing, P&L, BS and other management reporting.

 

Sage 50 Construction is integrated with Sage 50 Accounts.  Sage 50 Accounts is suitable for up to 6 users, but Sage 50 Construction can have up to 100 users.  Please note that most users, including the traditional accounts users will be using Sage 50 Construction.

 

Sage 200 Construction is integrated with Sage 200 Financials and Commercials - suitable for up to 100 users.  Sage 200 provides advanced accounting and superb desktop views of your contracts.
