Case Study: Century Mechanical Contractors achieves 500% growth and faster payroll & tax reporting with Sage Construction

Century Mechanical Contractors implements a financial infrastructure that lasts

Century Mechanical Contractors is a Texas-based commercial HVAC, plumbing and geothermal firm that grew from a 30-person shop into a $50M+ company serving public and private industrial clients. Rapid expansion — including a shift from tax-exempt public work to taxable industrial contracts — exposed inefficiencies in manual payroll, job costing and tax reporting and made it difficult to track job-level costs and customer/vendor information.

Century implemented Sage 300 Construction & Real Estate (building on its earlier Timberline use), adding integrated job costing, payroll and Accounts Receivable plus Report Designer and Inquiry Designer, online training and vendor support. The change cut payroll processing from nine hours to two (about 25% of the prior time), reduced tax reporting to 10% of prior time, saved hundreds of labor hours, dramatically improved information flow and WIP tracking, and supported long-term growth topping 500%.
