• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• On busy streets in Leominster, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
