Frequently Asked Questions

Equipment is one of the largest project costs. Tracking utilization reveals idle equipment that should be demobilized, underused rentals that could be shared between crews, and peak demand periods for better scheduling. Even a 10% improvement in utilization can save thousands per month.

Yes. Rental equipment has direct daily costs that should be minimized (demobilize when not needed). Owned equipment has depreciation and maintenance costs that are tracked differently. This template separates the two with appropriate cost calculations for each.

The maintenance section logs scheduled service intervals (based on operating hours), completed maintenance with date and description, and upcoming maintenance due dates. This prevents costly breakdowns and ensures equipment remains in safe operating condition.
