Resource management software for civil and earthworks teams.
Mutu helps civil and earthworks companies manage plant, equipment, materials and shared resources across live projects, yards and crews. From the field, teams can search what is available, book the gear they need, allocate resources to sites, reuse surplus materials and report on savings, utilisation and sustainability impact.

Dempsey Wood is one of New Zealand’s leading civil contractors, with a strong commitment to sustainability and better construction resource utilisation across infrastructure, earthworks and land development projects.
In March 2024, Dempsey Wood joined Mutu to streamline material reuse across projects, reduce procurement costs and divert valuable resources from landfill. Since then, they have facilitated more than 170 material exchanges between sites and repurposed over 5,000 construction components.
Key outcomes include $253,000 saved in procurement, 222 tonnes diverted from landfill and $66,400 saved in disposal costs — with record months delivering over $60,000 in procurement savings alone.
"Mutu has fundamentally changed the way we think about materials and waste in construction. What was once considered surplus is now seen as an opportunity—an opportunity to save money, reduce environmental impact, and build smarter. This is the future of sustainable construction, and we’re proud to be leading the way with Mutu."

See how it works in just 20 mins, and what your business already owns before buying or hiring more.
15-30% of fixed assets are ghost assets.
Many businesses have assets recorded on the books that cannot be physically located. Others have “zombie assets” sitting on sites, in yards or in storage, but not properly recorded anywhere. For civil and earthworks teams, this lack of visibility can lead to unnecessary hire, duplicated equipment purchases and wasted time searching for resources. Mutu creates one live view of plant, equipment and materials across every site, yard and project.
Civil resources should be reused before they are rehired, rebought or wasted.
Civil projects move quickly, and valuable resources are often spread across active sites, yards and crews. Without a simple way to see what is available, teams can spend more than they need to on equipment hire, new purchases and material orders. Mutu gives staff instant access to the resources already available across the business, helping civil teams reduce unnecessary spending, improve utilisation and make reuse part of everyday project delivery.
