FAQs
What is equipment management in construction?
Equipment management is an umbrella term that covers acquiring, maintaining, scheduling, and disposing of equipment. Construction is a very broad industry, so equipment could mean everything from heavy machinery to trade-specific tools to standard equipment you might rent like a lift.
The main goals of equipment management are to ensure your team has the equipment they need to complete a project efficiently and safely, control costs related to owning and renting equipment, and ensure equipment is well maintained.
How do you organize construction equipment?
Your approach to organization will be unique to your business, but in general, Knowify recommends categorizing and tracking each piece of equipment, treating equipment as an employee with an hourly rate (covers usage of equipment, maintenance, depreciation, etc.), that’s assigned to a team and then scheduled to jobs or job phases. Maintain a record of hours used on the job site and track that actual cost against your budgeted cost.
