Know what each build already has before buying more.
Mutu helps residential construction teams manage materials, tools, equipment and site inventory across multiple builds from one live platform. Teams can search what is available, request resources from another site, reuse surplus materials and track savings before buying, hiring or ordering more.

Urry & Burgess Construction (UBC) delivers residential and commercial projects across Auckland. The team began using Mutu in February 2026 to bring equipment, vehicles, inventory and materials into one shared system — adding 100 items in the first month and growing to 140+ active resources with seven team members sharing access.
With resources centralised, request activity grew more than 3x in the first three months. Claim requests have helped the team reuse more than $1,400 worth of leftover materials that would otherwise have sat unused on one job.
Results include 140+ listings in one system, more than 90 requests placed through Mutu, and clearer visibility before hiring or purchasing something new.
"Before Mutu, information about equipment and stock could sit with different people or in different places. Bringing it together has given the team a much clearer starting point when they need something for a job."

Multiple builds need one clear view of resources.
When every build manages materials, tools and equipment separately, resources can easily become hidden inside site-by-site silos. One team may be ordering something new while another site already has the same item available. Mutu gives residential construction teams one searchable view of resources across active builds, storage locations and crews, helping staff find what exists before more money is spent.
Surplus materials and shared tools should not disappear between builds.
Residential projects often create leftover materials or have tools and equipment moving between crews. Without a simple way to record and share those resources, teams can duplicate purchases, lose track of gear or send usable materials to waste. Mutu gives staff instant access to the resources already available across the business, helping reduce material spend, improve tool visibility and make reuse part of everyday residential construction.
