I work for an Engineering Consulting firm which caters to government and private clients. We have various projects on detailed design and construction supervision of roads, bridges, flyovers and related projects. As these projects entails frequent site visits for surveys and field investigations we’re required to provide several cars for ease of access to site and fast tracking of work progress. As such we always have a need to designate vehicles to every project according to our client’s requirements. Since my work pertains to administrative works I’m very much aware of how the company chooses the vehicle for every contracted project.
There are things to consider when buying cars for our projects which became our main criteria also whenever we need to purchase when a project starts.
Budget. It should not be too expensive as the company will need more vehicles for operations. There are vehicles that are suited for field work and heavy loads which will not hurt your budget. Company vehicles for field work need not be as glamorous as it will only be used for work.
Size and Capacity. These two are very important when you need a car for location work because the car needs to carry equipment and gadgets to remote site. It will also carry a group of staff to do the work. It will have to carry it all in one round as travel is usually a long trip for site workers.
Safety Features. As in every field and walks of life protection should be ensured so we need to choose vehicles that have the best secured features and capabilities to take our Engineers to their site location safely without worries. Make sure that before purchasing your desired car it should undergo hands-on tests of its safety features.
