A machine is an hourly cost — not a dormant row in a register

Equipment is where contracting margins leak most. Rent, diesel and maintenance land in general overheads while operating hours live in the operator’s logbook — so the project that ran the excavator for a month shows a better margin than the one that did not. Ribhia closes that leak with an hourly rate charged to the project that ran the machine.

The questions it answers

Questions whose answers genuinely move the profit figure.

Charging

"Who pays for that excavator?"

Its hours on each project × the effective hourly rate = a cost that enters the project by itself.

The rate

"Where does that rate come from?"

You set it from depreciation, diesel, maintenance and the operator. And it carries an effective date — so raising it this year does not rewrite last year’s cost.

Rental

"Is renting cheaper?"

Compare the hourly cost of owned against rented on the same work, with your own numbers rather than an estimate.

Maintenance

"Did the service get missed?"

Maintenance plans run on hours and on days together — whichever arrives first — and the work order is raised with its cost.

What is inside

From the equipment register to the maintenance work order.

Equipment register Owned and rented machines with their details, documents and licence dates.
Hourly rate A rate per machine with effective dates — historic cost is preserved.
Operating hours Hours per machine per project, per day, with cost charged immediately.
Preventive maintenance Plans by hours and days, with preventive and corrective work orders and their cost.
Spare parts Parts issued from stores against the work order — so maintenance cost is real.
Equipment comparison Actual hourly cost per machine — the ones costing more than they produce become visible.

How it connects to the rest

No module works alone. These are the links that keep the numbers consistent.

Project costing

An equipment hour is a cost line on the project exactly like a material or a worker.

Stores

Spare parts are issued against the work order, not against "general maintenance".

Fixed assets

An owned machine is an asset with depreciation — and depreciation is part of the hourly rate.

Cash flow

Equipment rentals and instalments enter the weekly cash projection.

Start with two machines

Two machines with their rates and one month of hours — and watch how much the project margins move.
