Renting vs buying construction equipment

Buying heavy equipment isn't always the right call for a small outfit. Scaffolding or a compactor used only a few weeks a year is often cheaper to rent than to own, not counting maintenance and storage. Conversely, a tool used nearly every day (drill, saw) pays for itself quickly if bought. Running this calculation item by item, rather than buying or renting everything out of habit, meaningfully improves a construction company's profitability in Nosy Be.
