Materials to site, plant on record, labour paid.
Order materials against the site budget, send them to site and sign them in, keep plant on record and on hire, and pay site labour from the hours they worked. Back in the office, every figure ties to the job it came from.
Three classic problems, solved
Transfers to each site, signed for.
Plant and equipment on record, with service dates.
Attendance by site, paid through Payroll.
Plan against actual, in money, for every site.
Load the bill of quantities with a rate per line. As materials are used, Contlant shows planned value, actual value and what is left to complete, by stage.
- A wastage allowance per line, so normal waste isn't flagged as over
- Plan changes with a reason and a reference, approved by someone who didn't raise them
- Close a stage and see what is left on site to return or write off
| Line | Planned | Actual | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cement 50 kg | 420,000 | 351,500 | 84% used |
| Ballast | 180,000 | 118,800 | 66% used |
| Rebar Y12 | 260,000 | 273,000 | Over plan |

Plant and equipment that pays its way.
Keep a register of your own plant with its meter, hire it to your projects at an hourly, daily or weekly rate, and track what you hire in until the day it goes off hire.
- Hire contracts with a minimum charge, with or without an operator
- Meter readings out and in on every hire; a meter can't go backwards
- Off-hire works out the amount, so the supplier's bill can be checked
| Plant | Site | Hours | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excavator EX-02 | Block B | 38 | On hire |
| Mixer MX-05 | Block B | 22 | Service due |
| Crane (hired in) | Block A | 41 | Off-hire Fri |
| Compactor CP-01 | Yard | 0 | Idle 9 days |
Materials from order to site, signed for.
Raise the order against the site budget, receive it, and transfer it to site with a signature. Sending stock to site isn't using it: it becomes a cost when it's used, returned or written off.
- Requests, quotes and approvals before money leaves
- Transfers to each site with who sent, who received and when
- Counts on site, with every difference recorded and explained
| Transfer | Material | To | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| TR-0118 | Cement 50 kg × 120 | Block B | Signed for |
| TR-0119 | Rebar Y12 × 40 | Block A | In transit |
| TR-0120 | Ballast 20 t | Block B | Awaiting signature |
