Key points

  • Schedule. Match delivery to site readiness and handover dates.
  • Labelling and access. Label cartons by unit. Confirm lift access and storage.
  • Handover check. Count and check on arrival, and record issues.
  • On-arrival checks. Count cartons against the packing list. Open one carton per floor to check size and label.
  • Site readiness. Delivering before a unit is ready leads to damaged or lost mattresses.

On-arrival checks

  • Count cartons against the packing list.
  • Open one carton per floor to check size and label.
  • Record damage with photos on the delivery note.

Site readiness

Delivering before a unit is ready leads to damaged or lost mattresses. Coordinate with the site manager, confirm storage, and deliver near fit-out completion. Keep a short buffer for replacements.

Detailed guidance

Staging avoids damage and storage problems. Build the schedule from the construction programme: which towers and floors will be ready, when, and who will receive the goods. Confirm site access, unloading points, lift availability and storage space. Label cartons by tower, floor and unit and give the site team the packing list in advance.

On delivery, count cartons, open a sample, and note damage on the receipt with photographs. Agree how shortages and wrong sizes will be replaced and how quickly. Keep a buffer of spares. After each stage, update the register and share it with the project and operations teams. A short pre-delivery call on the day prevents missed deliveries and wasted trips.

Worked example (illustrative figures)

A 10-floor tower is delivered in two stages. Stage one covers floors 1 to 5, ready for handover; stage two follows three weeks later. Cartons are labelled by floor and flat, and the site team checks counts against the packing list before signing.
