Construction Equipment – When to Buy, Rent or Lease?



Equipment is a necessary tool for a project in construction industry. When deploying your construction equipment for a project site, the question whether to buy, rent or lease must be tackled in a very sane and judicious way. Important questions pertaining to the duration of the need for equipment, the number of hours it’d be working at sites and geographical suitability must be answered to come to a decision.

There are various factors that affect the buy-rent-lease decision in an equipment’s selection. With the surge in the demand for construction equipment, contractors have been buying more machines and at the same time have also been adopting rentals and leases to assist their own fleet.
Below points will help to understand the buy-rent-lease decision.
First, understand for Buying

Buy

Ø  While working on project if equipment is used for most of the construction period and likely to complete almost its full life then it is helpful to buy otherwise not advisory.
Ø  The benefit of buying it is that, occupants can utilize it whenever it requires.
Ø  Contractor can meet danger of obsolescence. Since it’d be an owned equipment it would be kept in better mechanical conditions and is more reliable.

Let’s move on to Rent part.

Rent   
                                                 
Ø  It’d be smart to rent equipment if the job is of short duration and there is no continuous need of the equipment. It can be costly.
Ø  When it comes to the disbursement of payment, it’s flexible.
Ø  It has higher monthly payments than loan financing and leasing. It has benefit to pay only for use and time you need it.
Ø  There is a disruption may occur that some specialized equipment may not be available when it is needed.

Lease    
                 
Ø  Working capital is not tied up in equipment.
Ø  Lessee gains a tax deduction because lease payments are treated as an expense.
Ø  You can choose the specific features you want on the equipment.
Ø  No large initial capital outlay.
From above points one can get an idea whether to invest, rent or lease.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Image
Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) comprises hydration products of cement, or cement plus sand, and the glass fibers.   Glass fibers are used are used as reinforcement for concrete. Glass fibers were first used to reinforce cement and concrete in Russia. It is available in the form of continuous rovings, chopped strand mats, cranette, wool, ropes and woven fabric. It is coated with epoxy resin compounds have also been tried out to protect them from alkali attack by Portland cement. Glass fiber, few microns in diameter can be added up to 5% by weight premixed with cement and water in a pan or a paddle mixture. Glass fiber has to be of 10mm to 50mm in length. Small quantities of lubricating admixtures, such as polyethylene oxide or methyl cellulose may be added into the mix.The products can also be produced either by extrusion or by injection-moulded process. Tensile strength can be increased roughly two times by addition of glass fiber of 10% by volume and that impa

Self-Sensing Concrete

Image
Self-sensing concrete is a smart concrete technology that can sense the stress, strain, and damage in itself. It is also called as self-monitoring or piezoresistive or pressure-sensitive or intrinsically smart concrete. Composition of Self-Sensing Concrete It is similar to the conventional concrete except the addition of functional fillers. The functional fillers used can be steel fibers, carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes, nickel powder, etc. Property of this concrete is due to the arrangement of the functional fibers in the concrete.The functional fibers are well dispersed in the concrete matrix, based on which the concrete matrix has a unique and extensive conductive network. The self-sensing concrete has a complex structure. It is a multiphase and multiscale composite. Self-sensing concrete is a combination of two-phase material at macroscopic level in which the functional fillers are dispersed in the concrete matrix. This functional fillers can exist in fiber,

Preliminary Works in Construction

Image
Preliminary works refer to all the activities that are involved in a construction site before the actual work starts, such as demolition, site clearance, site survey, soil survey, planning, designing, and cost estimation. Demolition This is the step in which by means of controlled or pre-planned methods structure is destroying. It can be done before a structure is still healthy to serve. The  demolition process  is undertaken when a structure is objecting or intervening or lies in the boundaries of a new proposed building. In this stage surveying of buildings, removal of hazardous materials, methods of demolition and safety measures covered. Site Clearance It is important stage to remove unnecessary obstructing elements such as vegetation found at the site to prepare for excavation. This process involves grubbing of bushes or trees and removal of topsoil to form the reduced levels. Site and Soil Survey This is an essential preliminary step of the design a
