Project geometry and physical constraints
Building configuration, excavation scope, floor loading, openings, work zones, access routes, turning space, and ground conditions.
Varduno Consulting
Plan the equipment systembefore the project starts.
We help general contractors create execution-ready equipment strategies for complex projects—combining hands-on equipment expertise with Varduno’s planning technology.
Determine what is needed, how much, when it should arrive, where it can be shared, and when it should leave—before those decisions become cost, carbon, or schedule risk.

Why we exist
To turn equipment from disconnected rental transactions into a planned, shared, and measurable project resource.
A plan grounded in reality
The right machine depends on the whole project.
A machine is only right if it can safely access the work, support the required productivity, arrive when needed, and leave before it becomes unnecessary cost. That takes more than an equipment list.
Schedule and sequencing
Phases, milestones, activities, dependencies, overlapping work, and the dates that protect the critical path.
Workforce and trade demand
Subcontractors, crew sizes, shifts, work areas, and the timing of each trade’s equipment demand.
Site logistics
Delivery routes, unloading, storage, charging, refuelling, traffic controls, hoist access, and pickup constraints.
Safety and environmental requirements
Operator requirements, emissions and noise restrictions, exclusion zones, indoor power, and carbon targets.
Supply and commercial data
Owned fleet, supplier catalogues, rate cards, availability, transportation costs, rental periods, and alternatives.
Consulting services
From first demand model to an operating jobsite.
Start with the stage your project needs now. Each service creates practical deliverables that can continue inside Varduno.
01
Project equipment strategy
Translate the schedule, work scope, and site conditions into equipment demand by phase, task, trade, location, and date.
- Demand curves and peak periods
- Quantity and timing assumptions
- Delivery and off-rent windows
02
Shared equipment pool design
Identify where machines can serve multiple trades, zones, and overlapping phases without creating delay or unclear responsibility.
- Pool composition and capacity
- Reservation and priority rules
- Utilization and service measures
03
RFx and supplier strategy
Convert the equipment plan into structured supplier requirements that can be clarified, priced, and compared consistently.
- RFx package preparation
- Substitution and compliance review
- Bid comparison and mobilization
04
Digital workflow and integration
Define how project, workforce, fleet, rental, and commercial information should move through the project’s existing systems.
- Current-state technology review
- Integration and data blueprint
- Lower-friction field workflows
05
Mobilization and project launch
Turn the strategy into an operating model that project teams, trades, and rental partners can use from day one.
- Roles and responsibilities
- Delivery and pickup processes
- Training and supplier onboarding
06
Continuous equipment optimization
Keep the plan aligned as schedules, workforce, availability, and site conditions change throughout delivery.
- Idle-time and utilization reviews
- Cost and carbon comparisons
- Upcoming demand and risk forecasts
How we work
A practical path from project data to field execution.
We do not start with software. We start with how the project will actually be built, then configure the tools around the decisions that matter.
- 01
Understand
Review the project, constraints, schedule, workforce assumptions, equipment demand, and current systems.
- 02
Model
Build the demand model and expose peaks, gaps, sharing opportunities, and schedule risks.
- 03
Source
Prepare structured requirements, evaluate responses, and isolate what still needs supplier confirmation.
- 04
Mobilize
Establish the equipment pool, workflows, responsibilities, digital tools, and supplier interfaces.
- 05
Optimize
Monitor utilization, cost, carbon, and changing demand so the plan remains useful throughout the project.
The digital project backbone
Use the right tools without creating another information silo.
Varduno becomes the equipment-planning and coordination layer while the project keeps using the systems that already hold authoritative information.
We assess what should be connected, what can be imported, and what should remain governed in its source system. Connection availability depends on customer and partner access.
Models & physical context
Trimble Connect and BIM/project geometry sources
Project planning
Procore, Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and schedule files
Workforce
Procore Workforce, workforce plans, subcontractor data, crew loading, and shift plans
Fleet & telemetry
Fleet management systems, owned fleets, Trackunit telematics
Rental & commercial
Rental ERPs, Rental rate cards
Jobsite Equipment Management
Conaxity equipment sharing
Engagement options
Start focused. Scale with the project.
Begin with a defined planning challenge, then continue into sourcing, mobilization, or ongoing optimization when the project needs it.
Plan
Equipment Planning Sprint
A focused preconstruction engagement that creates the initial demand model, identifies major risks, and establishes the equipment strategy.
Best for estimating, procurement preparation, and early mobilization planning.
Launch
Mobilization & Market Engagement
Detailed planning, supplier RFx, shared-pool design, commercial evaluation, digital setup, and operational launch.
Best for complex projects approaching procurement or site mobilization.
Improve
Embedded Equipment Optimization
Ongoing equipment advisory and analysis throughout construction, powered by Varduno and connected project information.
Best where demand changes continuously and active management protects value.
What the project receives
A usable operating plan—not a strategy deck that sits on a shelf.
Deliverables are matched to the engagement and structured so project teams can maintain them as the work changes.
