As a long time bookkeeper who currently works for a home builder - I say it depends. It depends on how much you want to do and how knowledgeable the people are who are using it. Even the simplest of programs can be screwed up by folks who dont know what they are doing.
Do you want estimating? Do you want to track job costs?
I recommend Quickbooks Pro or a little higher end, Master Builder which I am currently using and absolutely love. Master Builder was by Intuit and recently bought out by Sage. Contact me off the board if you have more questions.

I assume you want to do Job Cost Accounting. I have been doing that for 11 years and personally I like peachtree accounting. It's simply to use and easy to set up. The reports you can print are better than quick books. This is my personal view, there are a 100 programs out there.

Open Office
I have implemented it in a Garage,a Contractors Office and an e-Commerce biz.
Quick Books is popular, is windows based, but kinda pricey. and its reliability on Active Web does no good after a hurricane or tsunami have wiped out the infrastructure.

Sage is the most popular.
Used by the vast majority of small and medium sized businesses.

"Quick Books" is the easiest to use for a regular business. It can keep records of purchases, material on hand and do invoicing. Others can do the same but are not as user friendly.

I took an accounting class in college, and I use Peachtree. It is a good program. I really liked it. I think that you will like it.

i guess SAGE is probably the easiest and best to use for a small firm, deals with accounting, stock and payroll along with tax etc.
