Construction

Construction programmes depend on materials and plant arriving in a specific sequence, on sites with limited access windows.

OVERVIEW

Why this is different

A construction programme is a chain of dependencies — foundations before steel, steel before cladding — and logistics that doesn't respect that sequence creates cost even when nothing is technically late. Materials arriving early sit in the way; materials arriving late stall a trade that's already mobilised on site.

Site access adds a second constraint most freight planning ignores: narrow gate hours, weight-restricted approach roads, and cranage that has to be booked around other trades. Coordinating delivery timing against both the build programme and the physical site is what keeps a programme moving.

RECOGNISE THIS?

What this looks like in practice

Sequenced trades where late or early delivery both carry cost
Restricted site access hours or weight-limited approach roads
Shared cranage or plant requiring coordinated delivery slots
Multiple suppliers converging on the same build phase
OUR APPROACH

How we plan around it

We coordinate delivery windows against site access constraints, keeping haulage and cranage aligned with the build programme.
