In today’s construction industry, most companies don’t own the machines they rely on. In fact, studies show that over 90% of contractors rent their equipment, choosing to avoid the high upfront investment and ongoing maintenance. While that approach is common, it often leads to delays, higher costs, and less control on the job site. At Conard Construction, we’ve taken a different path. By owning our entire fleet—from excavators and graders to trucks and trenchers—we keep every project fully under our control. That means tighter schedules, dependable results, and work done right the first time, without waiting on a rental yard or third party.
