Construction inventory management is a means by which construction companies and suppliers can keep track of materials, workforce, equipment and plant effectively. A well-managed inventory can be critical to profitability as any misplaced or lost items can lead to delays and escalating costs.

Inventory management is particularly important when a construction company has multiple projects underway at one time, as the scheduling can become complicated. If a project is waiting for items to be delivered or if certain items cannot be located, it has a negative impact on the project budget and deadlines. Having a timelines of project stages planned in advance, with a full inventory of materials and equipment required, is therefore a key part of logistics management. As part of this, a proper inventory of tools should be maintained, including manufacturer details, instructions, parts requirements, and so on.

Consumable inventory (i.e. nuts, bolts, screws, nails, drill bits, wire, batteries, and so on) should be carefully tracked with a system that alerts when supplies are lowering, thereby making it efficient and easy to order and provide sites with more as required.

Inventory management systems can also incorporate the automation of scheduling preventative maintenance for tools and equipment, helping to ensure that unnecessary down-time for repairs is avoided.

All materials and goods can be immediately tracked with barcoding, reducing the amount of time taken up with audits or stock-checks. As phone technology has expanded, mobile scanners have become more widespread as an alternative to real scanners. An inventory application should be downloaded to operatives’ phones. The disadvantage is the necessity for the phones to have a certain amount of data storage. Alternatively, radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcode solutions can be used and these are often more suitable for larger organisations.
