- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- On busy streets in Tyne and Wear, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
