Hire or buy a temporary building, what’s best for YOU?

May 6th, 2010 — 12:27pm
Before you make the decision to buy a
temporary building with a PVC roof
(such as the type we use for our hire stock)
if you own the property and land where you
want the new building installed, you are
probably going to make a big financial
mistake if you do so…
 
You see, we use two different designs of
buildings because there isn’t one, which is
suitable for both temporary and permanent
use…
 
One is temporary because it’s re-locatable from site
to site with a PVC clad roof.
 
The other is a ‘HYBRID’ system which is a quick to
install as a temporary building, but is supplied with
steel clad roofs, just like any other permanent unit.
 
Therefore, If you rent your property, then
you may well be best buying the temporary
building with the PVC roof because they are designed
to be moved from site to site (which is why we use
them for our hire stock) so if and when you do move
on, you can take it with you….
 
Whereas, if you own the property and the land, you
are far better off buying a ’HYBRID’ design because
it will appreciate in value as the land appreciates, just
like any other unit you have built….
 
What’s more, the ‘HYBRID’ buildings actually cost less
than the temporary type, because they are fabricated
using steel, whereas the temporary type are made using
aluminium and PVC, which costs far more to buy….
 
So before you make a big potential long-term blunder,
you really should make your decision based around whether
you are going to profit from the appreciating value of
the ‘HYBRID’ design, or profit from the flexibility to
take the building with you…..If and when you move on..
Or want to sell it on…

Pricing A Temporary Building

November 6th, 2009 — 11:34pm

Pricing a temporary building can be confusing
and frustrating to say the least..

If you want to hire a building, companies will
want to set the (minimum) hire period, and
then you are committed for that period..

Just like renting a warehouse from a landlord
or agent, they will expect you to pay a chunk
of money – typically – three months in advance,
and then you will be expected to pay your rentals
in advance too…

This way, the company who hire the building to you,
just like the landlord or property agent, are always
protected because they’re being paid in advance.

Good for them, but not so good for you….Which is why
we decided to do the opposite of how everybody else
does it, and charge in arrears, as opposed to in advance.

What are the advantages? You don’t have to shell
out thousands in advance before you’ve even had the
building installed, and you just pay your rent as
you go.

Then, when you finish, pick up the phone, and say
“Antony, we’re finished with the building, come
and take it away”.

And that’s how easy it can be….
