In any construction business, equipment breakdowns happen every now and then. Tools inherently come with an expiry date and depreciate over time. Like most things in life, the better you take care of something, the longer it lasts. If you want to make the best out of your equipment, you should consider employing certain equipment management best practices, such as regular maintenance to prolong life expectancy, continued depreciation and revenue tracking, and discontinuing use of the equipment, or reselling it to salvage value.
