Another way: own your own heavy equipment, and charge an hourly rental fee.


I live on a yacht, and when I need to get it on land I rent a crane (with operator) for the job. Price: $1000 an hour.

I'm seriously considering buying a big crane and renting it out....


true. a lot of time is wasted on the job site just waiting for people, for pieces to come in, to unload, to measure where they're put etc etc etc before the machinery is actually used to erect, say, a steel column. And that is not counting "human" factors like breakfasts on site and extended lunches off site and early day offs on fridays. Your machinery will actually wear and tear for only a fraction of the rental time.
