The Benefits of Commercial Propane for Construction Businesses

As a business owner and construction site manager, you know that staying on schedule and budget is the top priority on every project. Reliable propane services will help you keep everything on track.

There are many factors to consider to keep things running smoothly when building custom homes or major projects—energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability are top of mind. Using commercial propane to fuel projects is a great way to hit these marks.

Propane is an incredibly versatile, clean-burning, cost-effective, and efficient fuel source that powers anything from heaters to portable generators, forklifts to concrete curing equipment. It is an essential part of all kinds of construction sites. You can use this energy source wherever you please while also achieving long-term cost savings.

When you work with McCraw Oil and Propane for your fueling needs, you’ll gain a trusted partner and the expertise of a company with over fifty years of experience.

We offer top-notch service and products for business owners to make your projects easier and refueling a breeze. Let us share the ways propane can improve your construction projects.

Commercial propane offers a significant decrease in energy costs for business owners compared to other fuels, like electricity and diesel, making it ideal for the construction industry’s needs. Propane offers powerful performance at a lower price point for temporary heating for job sites, fuelling concrete work, and powering large equipment.

Propane’s high efficiency also means you get more output per gallon, saving you money over time for large-scale and long-term construction sites.

You know all too well that construction delays quickly become expensive.

Unlike electricity, which can be interrupted by weather or power grid issues or be difficult to manage at remote sites, commercial propane is dependable off-grid for construction companies, in all types of weather.

Propane-powered equipment stays productive, so your schedule stays on track. Less downtime means fewer delays, keeping your job sites sailing smoothly until the work is done.

Budgeting gets difficult when energy market fluctuations occur. Commercial propane offers more pricing stability compared to diesel and gasoline.

This makes it easy for you to plan expenses and achieve operational efficiency on construction sites, manage bids more accurately, and keep projects within budget.

Propane offers an extensive shelf life, one of its biggest advantages. It doesn’t degrade like gasoline, and can be stored in bulk tanks without risk of spoiling.

This makes it a great fuel source for projects with changing energy demands or indefinite timelines.

Propane burns cleaner than traditional fuels. That means it produces less buildup and residue in your equipment, leading to fewer breakdowns, longer intervals between maintenance, and less wear and tear on your power tools and machinery.

Your construction business will save time, money, and delays caused by repair costs—and your machines will work for longer.

You will also see an improvement in air quality, especially when working indoors. This protects the health of staff on your business’s work site and reduces sick days.

Growing awareness of environmental benefits in the construction industry puts more pressure on watching your carbon footprint. Commercial propane can help address this—it emits fewer greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants than gasoline and diesel, and reduces carbon emissions.

This makes propane a more sustainable choice for construction businesses. It can help improve your company’s reputation, work toward green building practices, and earn you special certifications.
