A BIG OPPORTUNITY TO BOOST
PROFITABILITY BY DECREASING
YOUR MAINTENANCE COSTS
INTRODUCTION
Not much gets done in construction without equipment. Keeping increasingly sophisticated assets
on the job, maximizing their lifespan and minimizing cost of ownership are critical to profitability
and command a substantial chunk of every operating budget.
The most effective enterprises hold maintenance costs to around five percent of revenue. Some
spend ten percent, fifteen percent or more. For others, maintenance is a "black hole". Reactive
approaches and a lack of standardized processes and controls make it impossible to calculate
actual costs or to make informed decisions.
With so much financial risk and reward riding on maintenance and repairs – and with the
technology available to assist in the process advancing rapidly – many companies are exploring
options to set aside their paper- and spreadsheet-based systems. This guide looks at what to
consider when evaluating specialized Maintenance Management Programs, what you can expect to
achieve from a software-based solution, and how to avoid common implementation challenges.
