The Benefits of Renting vs. Buying webinar

Words: Mason ContractorsThe Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) will present The Benefits of Renting vs. Buying on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, at 10:00 AM CDT.

The equipment rental industry is forecast to be more than $33 billion in 2012 and the anticipated growth rate is 3 times the rate of the US Gross Domestic Product. This indicates that equipment rental is on the rise and is becoming more of a mainstream option.

However, deciding whether to rent or buy equipment for your next project can be difficult. There are several factors to consider, such as upfront costs, credit, maintenance, storage and efficiency.

During the webinar, Tom Hubbell, Vice President of Marketing for the American Rental Association (ARA) will review the numerous benefits of renting. Hubbell will also review the RentalHQ.com website, the world’s most comprehensive rental store locator, to familiarize you with finding a quality ARA member rental partner. He will also cover the latest economic conditions pertinent to construction and the equipment rental industry.

Mason contractors registered for Masonry Certification will receive 1.00 credit in the Ethics and Business Practices discipline upon completion of this course.
