For general contractors and subcontractors
Stop buying tools you already own
Assets is construction asset tracking software for crews that need to know what they own, where it is, and who has it. It shows every tool and piece of equipment across every site in one place, with a live status: signed out, available, flagged for service, or in a container.
Companies buy tools they already own
A contractor can own hundreds of assets: drills, compressors, laser levels, forklifts, generators. Some are on site, some are in job boxes, some are in a truck, and some need service that nobody has flagged.
When a foreman needs a tool, they call around. If it cannot be found, they rent one or order another. When it comes back damaged, nobody logs it.

Everything your team needs to track every asset from the yard to the site and back
There are no spreadsheets, no calls asking who has the drill and no rentals for equipment the company already owns. All of it runs inside Assets, connected to the people and projects already managed in SMARTBUILD.
ASSET INVENTORY
Know what you own before you order more
Every tool and piece of equipment the company owns has a complete record that is searchable, classified, and current.
- Create an asset record with a unique code, name, description, class, and category
- Search the full inventory by name, code, class, or category from any device
- Filter by assignee to see every asset a specific crew member has signed out
- Full inventory list searchable and filterable, with pagination for large lists
STATUS AND ACTION TRACKING
Every status change logged and tied to a person
Any asset can be updated with a one-click action, and every change is visible on the dashboard the moment it happens.
- Sign Out: assign an asset to a crew member with a logged date
- Return to Inventory: close the sign-out and make the asset available again
- Request Service: flag an asset for maintenance before it fails on site
- Damaged or Unavailable: remove an asset from circulation and record the reason
CONTAINER MANAGEMENT
Group assets by job box, truck, or site location
Each container is either current or flagged, so nothing sits uninventoried for months.
- Assign assets to containers: job boxes, trucks, site trailers, or storage locations
- Audit scheduling flags containers when they are due for review
- In Containers Due For Audit count visible on the dashboard in real time
- Return to Inventory action available for individual assets within any container
TEAM MEMBER TRACKING
See every asset assigned to every crew member, at any time
When something goes missing, the record shows exactly who signed it out and when.
- Team Members section shows every person with their current asset assignments
- Filter the inventory by assignee to see everything one person has signed out
- Dashboard shows assets currently assigned to the logged-in user
- Sign-out workflow ties each asset to a specific person, creating a clear chain of custody
Four-status asset dashboard
When Assets opens, four live counts show the state of the entire inventory: how many assets are Signed Out, how many Need Service or Maintenance, how many are Damaged or Unrepairable, and how many containers are Due For Audit. The four numbers match the four things that go wrong with equipment on a construction site: it leaves without coming back, it needs service before it fails, it gets damaged and stays in circulation, or it sits in a container nobody checked.
Questions field supervisors and ops managers ask before adding Assets
What is construction asset tracking software?
Construction asset tracking software gives a company a real-time record of every tool and piece of equipment it owns: where it is, who has it, and whether it's available. Assets delivers this inside SMARTBUILD, connecting the inventory to projects and crews.
How does Assets track tools across multiple job sites?
Every asset in SMARTBUILD has a status that updates when someone takes an action: Sign Out, Return to Inventory, Request Service, or Mark Damaged. The dashboard shows live counts across all four states, showing what's out, what needs attention, and what's available.
How do containers work in SMARTBUILD?
Containers in SMARTBUILD represent physical groupings: a job box, a truck, a site trailer, or any storage location. Assets are assigned to containers, and SMARTBUILD flags containers on an audit schedule. The dashboard shows containers due for audit so nothing sits uninventoried after a project closes.
How does Assets connect to the rest of SMARTBUILD?
Assets is a bolt-on to smrtGC or smrtSUB. The team members managed in SMARTBUILD are the same people assets are assigned to. There is no separate login, no duplicate records, and no re-entry when a crew member moves between projects.
How is this different from tracking equipment in a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet shows what the company owned when someone last updated it. Assets shows who signed out what, which assets are flagged for service, and which containers haven't been audited. The sign-out workflow creates accountability that a spreadsheet cannot enforce.
What does Assets cost?
