What machinery do I need for a building project?

For building and civil works the most used are excavators (earthmoving and foundations), skid steers and backhoes (versatility in tight spaces) and compaction and concrete equipment for finishes. Use the equipment advisor or request a quote and we'll size the fleet to your project's scope.

Is it better to buy or rent for a construction project?

It depends on utilization: if the machine will work continuously for more than 12–18 months, buying usually lowers the cost per hour; for work peaks or short projects, renting through RentaCentro avoids tying up capital. The rent-vs-buy calculator gives you the break-even point.
