Equipment

Construction equipment management software

Know where every machine is, and what it costs you.

Track rented and company-owned equipment across all your sites. Log usage, monitor idle time, and keep maintenance on schedule so machines earn their keep.

In short

buildcontrol's equipment module is construction equipment management software. It tracks usage hours and service schedules per machine, rented or owned, so idle time and missed servicing stop quietly costing money.

Problem & solution

What it fixes on site

Idle and unmaintained machines burn money quietly. buildcontrol tracks usage and upkeep per machine.

Without buildcontrolHow it works today
  • Nobody knows how many hours a machine actually ran on a given day.
  • Rented and company-owned machines are tracked in different places, if at all.
  • Servicing is missed until a machine breaks down mid-work.
With buildcontrolWhat changes on site
  • Usage is logged per machine, so running hours are recorded, not guessed.
  • Every machine, rented or owned, sits in one list with its status and site.
  • Service due dates are flagged ahead of time, before a breakdown stops the site.
