The article examines contemporary challenges related to the operation of construction equipment under increasing demands for efficiency, sustainability, and digitalization of the work process. The main factors leading to higher operational costs, increased downtime, and reduced technical readiness of the machinery fleet are analyzed. An algorithm for optimizing construction equipment utilization is proposed, based on systematic collection and analysis of operational data, optimized allocation of machines, and the implementation of preventive and predictive maintenance. The algorithm is presented in a block diagram and is oriented toward practical application on real construction sites. The expected outcomes indicate potential for cost reduction, as well as improved efficiency and reliability of the construction process.
