Scope

What the price covers

  • 01

    A route survey before anything is booked

    Bridges, roundabouts, overhead lines and the last hundred metres into the site, measured rather than assumed.

  • 02

    Permits and escorts

    Applied for in every jurisdiction the load crosses, with the real lead times built into the schedule.

  • 03

    Lift plans and method statements

    Crane selection, rigging and ground bearing pressure, signed off by an engineer before anything leaves the ground.

  • 04

    One schedule for sea and land

    Vessel, barge, low loader and crane on the same plan, so no piece of it waits on something booked by a company you have never spoken to.

02

How it runs

Three stages, one team

01

Survey

We measure the piece, the route and the receiving site, then tell you what the move actually costs and how long it takes.

02

Plan and permit

Method statements, permits, escorts and the crane booked to a dated schedule you can hold your contractor to.

03

Execute

Supervised on the day, at both ends, by someone from this office rather than a number on a subcontractor list.

The part most quotes leave out

A project quote starts with a survey. Anyone who prices an out of gauge move off an email has not looked at the route.

03

To quote it

Four things in the email

Send these and the number comes back. Send fewer and you get a range.

  1. 01

    Dimensions, weight and centre of gravity of each piece
  2. 02

    Lifting and lashing points, with the drawing if there is one
  3. 03

    Origin, and the exact delivery site with coordinates if you have them
  4. 04

    The window the site is ready to receive
