The modern construction world is full of choice, bright advertisements, and machinery rental companies promising the best. Yet beneath the shiny paper, there is a lurking confusion. Which of these machines is the best for my specific project?
That is where we come in, providing knowledgeable professional guidance. Our staff are well experienced in the construction industry. There are a few things to keep in mind, to help ensure you choose the best machines, both economically and practically.
Whilst we have a range of heavy duty large machines, these may not be suitable for all projects. Particularly urban construction sites may benefit from smaller more efficient pieces, which may prove more effective. Further, the time savings from this need to be offset with the saving larger equipment provides in the cost of production. The important thing is to be consistent in your sizing, allowing all pieces of machinery to work cohesively.
To improve efficiency, consistency is key, this why it is often better to stick with one supplier. This allows easier repairs and replacement parts as the supplier knows their hired machinery. It helps make life easier when calculating the unit cost of production. The unit cost of production should be calculated to include all items of expense. This includes such charges as freight, packing and forwarding, insurance and possible maintenance. By working with one supplier for multiple pieces of machinery you can save on these costs. They should also be able to advise on the availability of spare parts and consider the level of skill necessary for maintenance. Broken machinery can have a disproportionate impact on project timelines and the bottom line. Therefore, spare parts, maintenance and trying to keep to as few suppliers are possible are key when considering what specific pieces of machinery to hire for your project.
