Sage Intacct Construction 2026 R1: The Upgrade Your Job Sites Have Been Waiting For

Sage Intacct Construction R1 2026 is here - and it’s a game‑changer for ANZ construction finance teams.

At Ausilon, we’re excited about what this release means for builders and construction CFOs looking to modernise financial operations, strengthen governance, and reduce manual workload.

Here are the standout features we’re most excited about:

1. New Work Order Management

A brand-new Work Order Management application gives construction businesses the ability to track and manage small‑scale, service‑related work orders - fully integrated with GL, Projects, AP, and Time. This is a major enhancement for organisations juggling both long-term projects and reactive service work.

2. Flexible Retainage Release

Release retainage by percentage across all invoice lines with one click. This is a huge process improvement for businesses dealing with high-volume subcontractor retainage and compliance workflows.

3. Enhanced WIP Management

The new WIP Schedule Projects page allows teams to set costs and billings for multiple projects simultaneously - aligned to a specific WIP period. This reduces admin time and gives finance leaders tighter control over revenue recognition.

4. New Construction Cost Type Reporting Area

Better visibility, stronger job costing, and more intelligent project reporting thanks to the expanded ICRW reporting areas and new analytics options.

5. New Order Entry Reporting for CRE

New OE reports let you quickly display contract values as at the end of a WIP period — perfect for businesses needing fast, accurate forecasting and compliance‑ready reporting.
