Who This Is For

GCs, superintendents, and purchasing coordinators who buy materials across multiple jobs. Material costs typically represent 40-50% of a construction project's total cost. Tracking deliveries ensures you receive what you paid for, catch short deliveries, prevent duplicate orders, and allocate material costs to the correct job for accurate job costing and billing.

What Professionals Say

★★★★★

I used to lose track of $3-4K in material credits every year. This log caught every return and credit. Worth 100x the price.

— Phil N., residential GC
★★★★★

My super fills this out when materials arrive. No more searching through email for delivery confirmations when a vendor disputes a quantity.

— Lisa R., home builder
★★★★★

Clean, simple, organized by job. My accountant loves it at tax time.

— Carlos M., remodeling contractor

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to track material deliveries separately from the job cost spreadsheet?
The purchase log is your receipt ledger — it documents every individual order with vendor, PO, and delivery confirmation. The job cost spreadsheet summarizes totals by category. Together they give you both the detail and the summary.
How do I handle materials delivered to the wrong job?
Document the error in the delivery log's notes column immediately, contact the vendor, and either arrange return/redelivery or re-allocate the cost in your job costing spreadsheet.
How should I handle supplier credits and returns?
Add a credit/return line in the log with a negative quantity and cost, reference the original PO number, and update the cumulative total. Keep return receipts with the log for audit purposes.
