Pricing Construction Equipment

Pricing construction equipment means estimating the cost of operation of all the construction equipment used in a construction project. The pricing is done based on two factors – ownership cost and operating cost of the equipment. Thorough knowledge of the ownership and operating costs is necessary for proper project management and executing profitable construction.
