Tool hire companies focus primarily on hand tools, power tools, and light equipment. Earthmoving equipment is typically a secondary offering with limited fleet depth. Here's how BuildHire compares for property developers contractors in Richmond.
| Feature | Tool Hire Companies | BuildHire ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Specialisation | Tools and light equipment | Specialist earthmoving |
| Fleet depth | 1–2 excavators typically | Multiple machines, guaranteed availability |
BuildHire specialises exclusively in earthmoving equipment. When you need an excavator, you want a specialist — not a tool hire company that also happens to have one machine available.
Property developers across NSW use BuildHire for site preparation, bulk earthworks, and service installation on residential and commercial development sites. Our fleet provides the right machine for every stage of the development process.

$370/day

BuildHire specialises exclusively in earthmoving equipment. Tool hire companies typically have 1–2 excavators as a secondary offering, meaning limited availability and less competitive pricing.
Property developers typically hire 3.5T-5.5T excavators for bulk earthworks and site preparation, combined with tipper trucks for spoil removal. Mini excavators are used for service trenching and tight-access work.
