Custody by site

Know what every site cost you — while the job is still running.

Contractors use AWRA to issue materials from store to site under named custody, track plant and equipment, measure committed and certified value against the bill of quantities, run procurement approvals, and chase retention.

Construction & Contracting operations

Make every issue from the central store land on a named person at a named site, so a shortage has an owner rather than a rumour.

See committed and certified value against the BQ during the job instead of in the post-mortem.

Keep plant, tools and equipment on a register that records who holds them, since when, and on whose authority.

Workflows

The operating routines AWRA supports.

Store to site issue

  1. 1 Raise a site requisition against the job
  2. 2 Approve within that site's threshold
  3. 3 Dispatch the transfer and track it in transit
  4. 4 Receive on site, then close or escalate the variance

Live job cost review

  1. 1 Post materials, plant and labour to the job
  2. 2 Compare committed and certified value to the BQ line
  3. 3 Investigate the lines drifting fastest
  4. 4 Report margin by site before the next valuation

Plant custody and return

  1. 1 Assign equipment to a site and a custodian
  2. 2 Record each movement with date and reason
  3. 3 Flag items overdue for return or service
  4. 4 Reconcile the register at project close

Implementation notes

What to prepare before rollout.

1

Model jobs, sites, phases and BQ lines first — job costing is only as useful as the structure the spend posts against.

2

Start with the highest-value materials and plant rather than the full catalogue; custody is a behaviour change before it is a configuration.

3

Agree who may approve site requisitions and to what limit before go-live, or approvals become the bottleneck in week one.

Metrics to monitor

Site material variance
Committed vs certified value
Plant custody age
Requisition cycle time
Retention outstanding
