The maintenance of a fleet for construction is an important area for construction project management, as it involves the maintenance of vehicles used for construction activities. Fleet maintenance for construction helps in taking care of all vehicles used on a construction site to ensure smooth operations as any delay in work can result in significant costs. Fleet maintenance typically includes a routine inspection of machinery as well as trucks and other vehicles, followed by the necessary service and repairs depending on the maintenance requirement, including periodic maintenance as well as immediate repairs after the damage has occurred.

A fleet owner should also set a reliability standard, and try to ensure that vehicles and equipment are roadworthy or work-ready at all times. The competitive nature of the construction industry means that jobs are often awarded based on who can finish fastest; construction jobs often have tight deadlines and can incur great expense for the owner or developer if held up. A good preventive maintenance policy can help detect problems before they occur so all the equipment operates efficiently and safely.
