Construction Equipment Rentals Edmonton

With the current struggling economic situation here in Alberta and across the country, it is now more important than ever for construction companies to find cost-saving opportunities during their urban development plans. As your construction company grows, it can also be difficult to determine the best fit for sourcing your construction equipment in Edmonton.

What makes the most sense for your organization? Will owning equipment make your company more profitable? Or will it hurt your bottom line? The decision should be carefully considered so that it ultimately helps you achieve your long-term goals.

Weighing the Pros and Cons

If you only need the equipment on a short-term basis, then construction equipment rentals are a more logical decision. You can still write off the expense, but you don’t have to worry about all the extra costs like maintenance or downtime. It’s also a good way to try equipment before making a costly purchase.

However, there are many advantages to owning equipment if you have the demand to warrant the initial expense. Buying your own equipment allows you to deduct the depreciation, insurance, repairs, and taxes, but it can also be a significant drain on company resources. If you buy the equipment you’ll need to factor in storage and transportation costs as well.
