Logistics

Our Logistics Services

Pre-construction logistics play a pivotal role in the success of any construction project. They provide a structured approach to planning, organising, and coordinating resources, ensuring smooth operations from conception to completion.

By thoroughly addressing logistical challenges upfront, such as site access, material delivery, and scheduling, pre-construction logistics mitigate risks, enhance efficiency, and optimise cost-effectiveness as well as looking after the environment.

Moreover, they facilitate effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders, fostering a cohesive team environment. Ultimately, investing in pre-construction logistics not only streamlines the construction process but also sets a robust foundation for delivering certainty, meeting project deadlines, and exceeding client expectations.

Why CLP’S?

A Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) is essential for effective project management in construction. It serves as a detailed roadmap, orchestrating the movement of materials, equipment, and personnel throughout the project lifecycle.

The benefits of implementing a CLP are manifold. Firstly, it optimises site logistics, reducing congestion and enhancing efficiency. It mitigates the environmental impact by minimising transportation-related emissions and noise. Additionally, the CLP enhances safety by strategically planning traffic routes and pedestrian areas.

Financially, the CLP contributes to cost savings through improved resource allocation and minimised delays. It aids in complying with regulatory requirements and obtaining necessary permits and permissions.

Stakeholder communication is streamlined, fostering positive relationships with local communities. Overall, a well-executed CLP ensures timely project completion, minimises disruptions, and maximises productivity, ultimately contributing to the project’s success, stakeholder satisfaction, and the long-term sustainability of construction activities.

Bridgehead Consultancy provide best practice Construction Logistics Plans for UK construction projects.

What are the benefits of CLP?

The benefits of CLP are:

  • Project cost savings (for clients and the supply chain)
  • Enhanced positive stakeholder management and engagement 
  • Improved health and safety practices on site 
  • Reduced traffic and freight associated with the project
  • Improved delivery operation (at uncongested times)  
  • Better control of vehicle movements

What do CLP’s assess?

Construction Logistics Plan will assess:

  • How much traffic the project is anticipated to generate
  • Optimum vehicle routes to prevent disruption to the surrounding areas
  • What the impact on local communities will be
  • The traffic management procedures in place to manage and mitigate the disruption

Bridgehead offer two CLP services to help our clients carefully and strategically plan their projects, an Outline CLP (produced to support the planning application) and a Detailed CLP (produced to manage logistics throughout the pre-construction and construction phase).
