Workflow blueprint

Construction inventory management built around material custody

A site-material blueprint that separates quantity, location, project responsibility, storage review and accounting treatment.

Follow each material movement across the central store, delivery vehicle, site area and crew so short deliveries, unused stock and damage remain visible.

TL;DR — Follow each material movement across the central store, delivery vehicle, site area and crew so short deliveries, unused stock and damage remain visible.
1

Approve the project request

Name the project, material, unit, requested quantity, required date and requester before purchasing or transfer work begins.

2

Receive and inspect the storage point

Compare the delivery with the order, record shortages or damage, then confirm the chosen storage area is reviewed by the responsible site team.

3

Transfer and issue to a custodian

Record movement from central store to site and from site to crew as separate events with quantity, date, document and person accepting custody.

4

Return, count and explain the balance

Bring unused material back into a named location, record waste or damage, and investigate the difference between expected and counted quantity before project close.

Page-specific decision aid

A six-state site material custody map

The worked example follows one cement delivery from approved order to central receipt, site transfer, crew issue, partial return and damaged-quantity review. Every state names the quantity, location, custodian and evidence so project allocation does not replace the physical movement record.

  • A request is not proof that material arrived.
  • A site transfer needs a sender and receiver.
  • Safety and valuation reviews stay outside the quantity event.
Scope first

What Codeblix would confirm before implementation

This page is an operational blueprint. The final workflow, screens, permissions and integrations depend on your current process and agreed implementation scope.

  • Project, site, store and crew locations defined
  • Material units and project allocation rules agreed
  • Receiving, transfer, issue, return and damage reasons assigned
  • Safety review and accounting valuation kept with their qualified owners
