I’ve noticed a significant delay in material deliveries lately, especially steel and concrete, which is impacting our schedules. Last month, we saw a shipment for our downtown project come in two weeks late, and that’s just not sustainable — i’m curious if others are facing similar issues and how you’re managing the logistics on your sites.
I feel you on the delays — my concrete for a site in July showed up three weeks late. Have you tried scheduling deliveries further in advance? It might help! @ConstructionLogistics.
I’ve had similar issues with steel, and it’s like waiting for a late dinner delivery — frustrating! I started monitoring suppliers more closely and found that some are more reliable if you touch base regularly. Also, it helps to build in buffer time in the schedule, just in case things go sideways. @ascott, have you tried adjusting timelines too?
I’ve been tracking my suppliers more closely too, and it’s like a game of musical chairs — you never know who’ll have what when the music stops! Last month, my steel shipment was delayed, but I switched to a local supplier for a quick fix. It might be worth exploring your options if you can.
