exactly where they’re located, you’ll be better prepared to
quickly respond to and recover from weather-related delays.

Keeping up with preventive maintenance is the single best
way to avoid major machine failures. Also, take full advantage
of electronic alerts and machine data to help spot small
problems before they can cause larger issues.

Next to the weather, nothing puts you behind schedule faster
than the loss of a machine. A good equipment database helps
you re-allocate equipment in case of emergencies. Plus, it will
let you see when you might need to rent some equipment to
make sure you get that completion bonus.
