Air Compressor Rental Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost covering the weekly rental of a heavy duty trailer-style air compressor (for running a jack hammer, power tamper or other heavy pneumatic equipment).

Labor Costs

We figure 1/2 unskilled hour per week for pickup and return. You might want to figure additional time if the rental place is more distant from your jobsites (we worked in a small town, and were also usually able to pick up and return several rental items at once to reduce costs).

This price does not include time for filling, running or tending the compressor during daily operation. We tend to absorb those costs in the unit costs for the actual work being done, since that is how our crews usually entered the job cost data. Most likely your crews will do the same, and it is helpful to have the estimated labor be as close as possible to the time that will be job costed.

Material Costs

The rental costs are from a local source. Prices will vary greatly by region and by rental period.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity.

Source of Construction Pricing

Very simple logic. If you own a compressor you can ignore this unit cost. It's intended mainly for small remodelers and construction contractors who only need to use it occasionally.
