Many industries are reliant on courier services, and the construction industry is no different. Whether you need large amounts of materials or smaller pieces of equipment delivered, you will need a delivery courier service to help support these needs.
Construction projects typically work how you expect. The team takes on a project and the project manager will order the materials, usually in stages as the build progresses. When the first sets of materials have been delivered, they can get to work.
Depending on the scale of the build, projects can take from a matter of weeks up to a number of years. This means material deliveries need to be planned out in advance to avoid the risk of delays, as well as remove the need to securely store materials that won’t be required immediately. That being said, many projects don’t always go to plan, giving rise to the need for reliable same day delivery services to get materials onsite as quickly as possible to avoid costly hold ups.
Just-in-Time Deliveries
Just-in-Time deliveries work on the concept that all materials and equipment arrive “just in time”. Not the day before, not the day after, just exactly when needed. This is because building sites can be a busy and compact area , so storing large quantities of materials on site could present health and safety concerns, as well as security and quality concerns for the materials. Same day delivery options go hand in hand with Just-in-Time delivery models on construction sites, as they can provide materials and equipment within hours, “just in time” for construction to start or progress.
Same day delivery for construction emergencies
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for emergencies to occur on a construction site; a piece of machinery may break, or there may be supply chain problems for example. When incidents like this happen, they can put a pause on work and waste valuable construction time. Failure to meet project deadlines can lead to bad word of mouth, loss of a client and in the worst case, a possible penalty clause.
