BuildRight Construction using ToolWorks

The Challenge

BuildRight Construction, a mid-sized commercial construction company operating across 12 active job sites, was facing significant challenges with their tool management processes. With over 2,500 tools and equipment pieces in their inventory, they were experiencing:

  • Chronic tool loss — An estimated 15% of tools went missing annually, costing over $75,000 in replacement costs
  • Manual tracking chaos — Site managers spent 4-5 hours weekly on paper-based inventory logs and spreadsheets
  • Job site delays — Workers frequently couldn't locate needed tools, causing project slowdowns
  • No accountability — Unclear chain of custody made it impossible to determine who had specific tools

“We knew we were losing money on tools, but we had no visibility into where, when, or why,” explains Marcus Rodriguez, Operations Director at BuildRight Construction. “Our crews were spending more time looking for tools than using them.”

The Solution

BuildRight Construction implemented ToolWorks across all 12 job sites, transforming their entire tool management workflow:

Implementation Highlights

  • Barcode labeling system — Every tool tagged with durable QR codes for instant identification
  • Mobile app deployment — Crew members check tools in/out using their smartphones
  • Real-time location tracking — Instantly see which tools are at which job site
  • Automated maintenance alerts — Proactive notifications for tool servicing and calibration

The rollout was completed in just 3 weeks, with ToolWorks providing hands-on onboarding support and training for all 85 field employees. The intuitive mobile app meant minimal learning curve — crews were scanning and tracking tools within hours.

“The ToolWorks team made implementation seamless,” notes Rodriguez. “They understood our construction workflow and configured the system to match how our crews actually work on site.”
