Starting a construction business is difficult. We often have to deal with unpredictable factors that might cause long delays in our projects. We’ll be wasting more time and money if this always happens. It was a good thing that we discovered this concrete pump rental. Thanks to their equipment, we managed to finish our construction projects faster.
Causes of Delays in Construction Projects
I remember one time that it was a real headache to deal with some vendors and subcontractors. We often have to remind them about the deadline of the project so that it would push them to deliver the materials as soon as possible. It’s so exhausting and draining whenever this happens because we are always in a hurry just to make sure that the whole project will be finished right on time.
Moreover, we have to deal with sudden weather changes. We can’t afford to create a makeshift house at first to protect the building materials from frequent rain showers because this would take more time and resources to build. In the end, we just have to hope that it doesn’t rain that week. Even though there are weather forecast apps that can be used, these are still inaccurate because the climate changes so often. Because of this, we thought that it is better to invest in equipment that would help hasten our construction processes. When we asked a few experts in our line of business, most of them recommended us to rent a used concrete pump.
Why a Concrete Pump?
Since our projects focus on smaller jobs like residential homes and small office buildings, we decided to rent a trailer line or stationary pump. Renting is a much more practical choice because, during that time, our business is just starting. We can’t afford to invest in new construction equipment so we opted for a concrete pump rental.
Convenient to Use
What is great about a trailer line pump is that it has flexible steel hoses. Using it, it is easier to put on the concrete mix on hard-to-reach areas. This feature is so important because sometimes, it is difficult to pour concrete on higher floors. Before, we tried using cranes to deliver buckets of concrete on these elevated areas, but it took a long time to finish the job. Plus, it is an inefficient method to do it because the concrete mix might spill during the process. We’ll be wasting a lot of materials if this is the case. Thus, we made the right decision to invest in renting a used concrete pump. We also have to thank our entrepreneur friends for recommending us a reliable rental service.
Precise Pouring Mix
We tried cutting some costs on our building projects so we decided to resort to manual concrete mixing. Even though we hired experienced workers, errors still happen. Sometimes, these people put too much water so the concrete would deteriorate faster than the normal rate. We often receive complaints from our clients before because, in just a few months, there were some cracks and “bugholes” on their walls so we had to redo the entire project all over again. Ever since this happened, all of us came up with a decision to start using a concrete pump.
When we inquired about the said equipment, we found out that it doesn’t need too much water to create a strong concrete mix. Back then, our manual concrete mixing techniques required us to estimate the amount of water to be put on the concrete so oftentimes, we got inaccurate results. Now, we do not have to stress ourselves about these things anymore because the used concrete pump will do the work for us. Also, we didn't need to hire more construction workers so we were able to save more costs because of this.
Ever since we started using it, we received fewer negative feedback from our clients, and we managed to build a good reputation! It helped us get more customers from different industries so we can say that it was truly worth renting a concrete pump.
We highly recommend Silk Road Equipment’s concrete pump rental in Singapore. During the time that we used their equipment, there were minimal breakdown incidents that happened. We understand that these are inevitable scenarios in construction projects so we didn’t make so much a fuss about it. Plus, if these incidents happened, their technicians always show up in our construction sites right away. In this way, they could immediately fix any issues in their concrete pumps so that there won’t be any delays in our project.
Aside from rental services, Silk Road Equipment also provides Sany spare parts for used concrete pumps. So, if ever you need to stock some parts for your concrete pumps, then don’t hesitate to reach out to them!
