I have been working in the construction industry for a long time now and finally decided to start my new business. It is common for people to get self-employed working in repairs or as handy man. I wanted to go a little bit further and thought about Concrete Truck Hire London.

To be honest I have seen and worked with many Concrete Truck Hire London companies before. So the business was not unknown to me. The hard part is the big investment you have to do in order to set up a company. First you have to have at least to trucks to serve clients. Creating the website was really easy. I looked up many Concrete Truck Hire London websites and I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to achieve with my website. I guess is not really good for your business image that you tell the client you are a new company with zero experience. I don’t consider it lying because I had worked in construction before and I think I know what the client really needs.

I decided that the core idea of the business was to be cheap but efficient. Many clients do not want to hire trucks because they see it as an expensive service. And it really can be. The most important companies offer brand new track and assistance in deciding and calculating the amount of concrete to order. I tell my clients that they really don’t need this service because, like me, they have been working in construction for a long time and they know what they are doing. I also tell my clients that my prices are cheaper because my trucks are not brand new but they are in excellent conditions. I bought second hand trucks but to be honest they look as good as new ones. Another service that I don’t provide is the cleaning part. I don’t get why some people pay for cleaning service when they have their own workforce just standing there and doing nothing. I target clients that can’t afford a luxurious service but that are looking for a high performance solution. I know it is a thought business but I know a lot of people that I have worked with in the construction industry. Some people owe me favours and they are willing to help me with my new business. The best thing is that I’m working in something that I totally know about and I have been in the clients position before so I know what they need, why they ask for certain things and how much they can really afford. That has saved me a lot in marketing and promotion.

Concrete Truck Hire London shouldn’t be difficult due to the large amount of companies offering their services for construction sites. The most common service is hiring trucks full of pre mixed concrete to be delivered to the construction site. The truck that carry the mix are called mounted transit mixers. Ready mixed concrete is basically made of cement, water , sand and gravel or crushed stone. Even when the plant are in industrial areas far from the city centers, the trucks can deliver the mix in a fresh state ready to be unloaded in you construction site. A batching plant can serve a wide area. A very important advantage when using pre mixed concrete is the certainty that the mixed is precisely done by computerized systems . Sometimes workers can make mistakes when performing the mix or maybe in order to save materials they can use incorrect amounts of ingredients.

Many constructors prefer to buy the concrete pre mixed because it saves them time and money. Saves time because the concrete arrives ready to use to your home and the workers don’t need to spend time mixing the concrete. And saves money because there is no waste of basic elements and no need for storage.

Companies have similar prices but they offer some other services and free bonuses in order to attract customers.

Some companies do not ask you to order an exact amount of concrete. You indicate approximately how much concrete is needed, they normally take some extra and they charge you for the amount used. They don’t charge you for over ordering or under ordering. So your order can be changed at any time. Advice is also offered if you need to calculate how much concrete you need.

The availability of trucks is 24 hours 7 days of the week.

Companies also tend to offer collection of waste. This means goodbye to wheel barrows and skips for waste storage and transport.

Another service that companies offer is groundwork and excavation. Depending on the locations of the construction site they will send big or small trucks in the case of residential areas.

Don’t be influenced for how good looking is the website of a company, they offer different prices for different services. This is what you have to have in mind. It is more convenient to hire companies that offer all the services we need instead of hiring different companies. This will result in saving money in discounts and also time because the work will be interconnected. You can always ask them also for recommendations or to indicate you where are the worksites where they are currently working so you can have a word with someone there who will tell you about the services quality.
