Why Rent Equipment For Your Next Construction Job

By Lisa Flowers


[]There are cases when you will be prompted to ask yourself why rent equipment for your next construction job. At times it is a dilemma that creates much confusion during the decision making process of a firm. In as much as buying has always been portrayed to be the way to go, there are scenarios when it makes much more economic and logical sense to rent.

Indeed, there are so many instances when you need to consider renting instead of buying. Suppose you need equipment for a single day or a single job, it beats logic to buy the machinery when there are so many companies out there offering to rent their machines at relatively much lower prices.

Another case applies when you get into a contract and you suddenly find out that you may need additional facilities to broaden your fleet of machinery. Reasons could be that you want to complete the job ahead of time or the contract is just too big for your fleet. In either case, if the additional machinery will only be used in the short term then you are better of renting.

Once you get into an agreement with a renting company you can simply forget about maintenance costs since most fees charged are inclusive of comprehensive insurance cover. Storage is also another issue that you will get off your chest since most institutions will transport the equipment to the work site when needed and at their own cost.

Making the choice to rent can also save you a lot of capital thus improving your borrowing power for funds from financial institutions. This capital that you save can be used for other reasons such as investment into a venture that can generate income. Doing so will put you on a more stable financial ground.

One other benefit of renting is that you get the advantage to use the latest equipment in the market. Due to the rapid change in technology you can make significant cost savings by using more efficient and less costly machines that have relatively lower running and maintenance costs.

The next time you answer why rent equipment for your next construction job, besides the points mentioned, you advise someone to also consider the length of time that the machine will be used. In other words it should more in operation that idle.
