Boost productivity on site
Everyday presents new challenges on a construction site. Keep everyone informed and aligned by digitizing pre-start checks, site safety assessments, and inductions. The moment something changes, you can adapt processes and procedures in a few clicks, with changes rolling out instantly to everyone on site.
“SafetyCulture has saved us about 1,500 man hours per year. That’s a huge efficiency gain.”
Prevent incidents and promote a safety culture
Encourage a supportive and inclusive culture where teams are comfortable reporting safety concerns and addressing potential risks. By making it easy for anyone to report observations, hazards, near misses, and incidents, you can respond quickly and put the right measures in place.
“Today, we’re at 2.5 million hours without a lost time injury. SafetyCulture allows us to achieve that. You don’t work 2.5 million hours and just be lucky.”
Gain visibility over equipment inventory
Optimize inventory management to boost productivity and keep construction progress on track. Keep a digital asset register for different types of equipment, ranging from heavy machinery to personal protective gear. Create customizable inspection forms to assess the inventory and view upcoming activities where and how the equipment will be used.
Effectively monitor maintenance and repairs
Wear and tear for construction equipment is normal, but it’s important to stay on top of routine maintenance to prevent machinery failure. Utilize data from equipment inspections to identify common trends for equipment downtime and other factors that lead to breakdowns. Provide corrective actions and recommendations for quality control to preserve the lifespan of equipment.
Administer training for proper asset handling
Improper usage of equipment and lack of knowledge about maintenance practices are some of the leading causes of breakdowns. Use Heads Up to deliver timely instructions and other crucial information to ensure proper asset handling across teams. Maintain a record of acknowledgment to verify that teams have accessed and interacted with the training.
Drive improvement across every jobsite
“When items come into our logistics team, they’ll thoroughly go through the checklists. They’ll check it’s the right item and there are no dents, knicks, or scratches.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The most prominent risk associated with poor asset management in construction is the derailment of project goals. When an organization is unable to effectively manage and utilize its assets, it can cause a breakdown of equipment. This can lead to safety risks, project delays, added costs for repairs, and legal risks because of possible noncompliance.
Technology plays a pivotal role in supporting construction asset management by providing tools and systems that streamline processes for improved efficiency. Typically, digital platforms are used to enable real-time tracking and monitoring of assets while enabling seamless integration with existing systems.
By incorporating technology into construction assets, companies can optimize asset performance and reduce associated risks, leading to a more successful project outcome.
Construction asset management software is crucial for all stakeholders during a project. However, it is most beneficial for contractors, owners, and architects, as they are responsible for overseeing assets based on how these are used in the construction process.
SafetyCulture is a platform with features that make it easier to conduct scheduled inspections and create actions that revolve around your assets. It can be customized according to your organization’s needs and includes powerful data analytics to monitor trends and other important information involving assets. This makes it easier to gain visibility over the assets used in construction, which typically involves a lot of machinery and equipment that need to be accounted for.
Construction asset management is essentially a comprehensive framework for coordination schedules, resources, and overall operational efficiency. As such, it aligns closely with other aspects of project management by ensuring all necessary equipment and materials are in optimal condition and availability to prevent delays.
Integrating with other existing processes also leads to more synchronized workflows that allow for better budget allocation, procurement, and quality control for optimal results.
