Planning for Equipment

Planning for Construction Equipment

The three most important resources that form the foundation of construction projects are manpower, materials, and equipment. Theoretically, these three resources alone are all that’s needed to carry out and complete projects successfully. But at the same time, discrepancies in the procurement or use of any of these resources can render the rest redundant. Planning for Equipment is the process whereby all key machinery and plant requirements are identified, analysed, and proactively managed in advance. This includes vendor selection, storage, allocation of acquired resources, and overall efficiency management. The more complete and effective the planning process, the greater the likelihood of smooth project delivery.
