Why Mess With Milling?
Another objection to purchasing a milling machine is that it is an unnecessary hassle. Though contractors may see the potential for extra profits, many don’t want to deal with the investment of time and energy to add something new and different to their repertoire. Regardless of their business acumen and success, contractors can be creatures of habit, and many choose to do what they already know. Therefore, they simply take the fixed cost of a subcontractor and build it into their bids. This may simplify their operations, but they are missing a great opportunity to grow their businesses. The purchase of a milling machine may be a large capital investment, but it’s one that could immediately and exponentially grow a contractor’s business in its current area of operation. Purchasing a milling machine allows contractors to keep many of the profits they’re currently passing on to subcontractors, and it also allows them to immediately bid on work they’ve never before been able to consider.
