Construction software that gets Saskatchewan PST right
Saskatchewan charges 5% GST plus 6% PST, and unlike most provinces the PST applies to construction contracts rather than stopping at materials. BuildersBridge applies both on every estimate and invoice, in CAD, without anyone looking up a rate.
Built for the way Saskatchewan builds
Saskatchewan is one of the provinces where the provincial tax follows the work rather than the goods: PST is charged on services to real property, not only on the materials a contractor buys. Getting that backwards either shorts the customer or shorts the business, and it is the kind of error that shows up at audit rather than at invoicing. The rule is encoded once, from the province's own bulletin, and applied to every document.
- 5% GST and 6% PST applied automatically on estimates and invoices
- PST treatment for services to real property built in, not left to the estimator
- Prices, quotes and reporting in CAD
- Subcontractor records carry WCB and insurance expiry, flagged when they lapse
- Project data held in a Canadian database region

Frequently asked questions
- What tax applies to construction work in Saskatchewan?
- Saskatchewan applies 5% GST plus 6% PST, for a combined 11%. PST in Saskatchewan reaches services to real property, so construction contracts are generally taxed rather than only the materials. BuildersBridge encodes the rule from the province's own bulletin and applies it per document. (BuildersBridge is software, not tax advice — confirm your position with your accountant.)
- Does BuildersBridge handle Saskatchewan PST on estimates as well as invoices?
- Yes. The tax is applied when the estimate is built, so the number the client approves is the number they are invoiced, and the approved total becomes the project budget without a second calculation.
- Can I override the rate on a single job?
- Yes. Every estimate and invoice accepts a manual rate override for the cases the standard rule does not cover, and the override is recorded on the document.
- Is BuildersBridge priced in Canadian dollars?
- Yes. Canadian plans are billed in CAD and quoted in CAD, so there is no exchange-rate surprise between the price on the pricing page and the charge on the card.
