On most job sites, knowing what materials are actually on the ground still means a phone call or a walk to the yard. Fixeets replaces that with a shared system in Google Sheets where site managers track lumber, fittings, and consumables per project, log equipment inspections for excavators and compressors, and see subcontractor material draws without chasing anyone down. When a project runs across multiple sites, the same structure scales without needing a separate spreadsheet per location, so head office gets one accurate view instead of ten conflicting ones.

Most construction teams are tracking materials and equipment within a single day. Connect your Google Workspace account, import the current site list and starting inventory into the provided template, and add site managers as editors, no IT ticket required. From there, logging a material draw or an equipment inspection takes under a minute, something a foreman can do from a phone at the start or end of a shift. As more sites come online, the same sheet structure extends to each one, so head office sees consistent reporting across every project from week one.
FAQs
How do site managers track material stock without walking the yard every day?
Materials get logged into a shared sheet as deliveries arrive and as crews draw against them, so the count reflects what's actually used rather than what was originally ordered. A site manager checking from the office sees the same numbers as someone standing in the yard.
Can multiple subcontractors draw from the same material pool without confusion?
Yes. Each draw is logged against the subcontractor or crew that took it, so there's a clear record of who used what and when. That removes the guesswork when material runs short partway through a project and everyone needs to know where it went.
Does Fixeets handle equipment maintenance for rented machinery too?
You can log inspections and service records for any equipment on site, rented or owned, the same way. For rented machinery this also creates a record useful for return condition disputes and avoiding charges for issues that predate the rental.
How does project-level stock budgeting help catch cost overruns earlier?
Allocating a material budget per project and comparing it against actual usage as the job progresses means overruns show up while there's still time to act, not after the final invoice. That's a meaningfully different conversation with a client or a subcontractor than discovering the gap at project close.
