Case Study: Baldwin Paving achieves equipment cost control with Viewpoint Spectrum

Baldwin Paving Takes Control of Equipment Costs with Spectrum

Marietta, GA–based Baldwin Paving, a leading heavy‑highway contractor, depends on equipment for nearly every job but had no accurate way to track equipment costs. For years the company relied on rough estimates from its shop manager, so depreciation, repairs, maintenance and shop time weren’t reliably allocated to jobs, leaving Baldwin with an incomplete financial picture and underreported equipment costs.

After implementing Spectrum® Construction Software, Baldwin gained robust equipment management—clear operating vs. non‑operating costs, cost‑of‑ownership tracking, and the ability to tie equipment costs directly to job budgets and actuals. The result: better-informed deployment and repair/replace decisions, the ability to reconcile budgets to actuals, and improved visibility into equipment-driven profitability and cash flow.
