In the construction industry, P&M commonly stands for "Plant and Machinery." This is a widely used term to refer to all the equipment, vehicles, tools, and heavy machines used on a construction site or in a manufacturing plant.

"Plant and Machinery" encompasses a broad range of assets crucial for construction projects, from large excavators, cranes, loaders, and concrete mixers to smaller tools, generators, and specialized industrial equipment. The effective management, maintenance, and utilization of P&M are vital for project efficiency, safety, and profitability in construction. Companies often invest heavily in their P&M fleet, and managing its deployment, fuel consumption, maintenance schedules, and overall productivity is a key operational challenge.
