Treat cement like cash
Cement is high value and easy to divert. Assign one person per project to receive deliveries, sign dockets only after a physical count, and log the batch before bags leave the store.
Photograph the truck plate, delivery note, and stack count while the driver is still on site — it takes two minutes and saves arguments later.
Log every movement
Record opening stock, deliveries in, issues to mixers, and closing stock daily. Even a simple ledger beats memory when three pours happen in one week.
In RazorBuilder, tie material receipts to your project so quantities from calculators and BOQ lines stay comparable to what actually arrived.
Reconcile with pour records
Cross-check cement issued against concrete volumes cast. If mixers say they used 40 bags but drawings show half a slab, investigate before the next order.
Use your concrete calculator estimate as a benchmark — large gaps usually mean unrecorded issues, wrong mix ratio, or theft.
