Construction & Assets

Track fixed assets, building materials, and equipment with reliable identification standards that reduce loss and improve audits.

Overview

Transforming Construction & Assets with Standards

The construction industry faces challenges with asset visibility, material tracking, and project delays. GS1 standards offer a robust solution by uniquely identifying tools, equipment, and building materials using Global Asset Identifiers (GIAIs) and GTINs. This enables precise tracking from the manufacturer to the job site, reducing loss and theft while ensuring that the right materials are available when needed. Digital inventories become accurate, streamlining project management and reducing downtime.

Adopting these standards facilitates the creation of a 'digital twin' for buildings and infrastructure. By embedding standardized data into Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, stakeholders can access verified product information throughout the asset's lifecycle—from design and construction to maintenance and demolition. This traceability improves safety audits, maintenance scheduling, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that built environments are safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective to manage.
