More efficiency, lower costs:
how to optimise your construction site

Construction logistics encompasses all measures necessary for the optimal supply of materials, personnel and equipment to a construction site.

The biggest cost drivers include

• avoidable waiting times
• inefficient material logistics
• transport routes that are not optimally planned
• inadequate disposal of construction site waste

Increase productivity
Uncoordinated construction site logistics lead to delays and waiting times, which in turn result in high personnel costs - because when skilled workers have to wait for materials or machines, there is idle time, which puts a strain on your budget.

Well thought-out construction logistics ensure that the trades can make optimum use of their working time. This shortens the duration of your project and reduces costs in the long term.

Minimize material losses and storage costs
Optimized material logistics is an effective way to save costs. Coordinated delivery and storage ensures that materials are available on the construction site exactly when they are needed. This minimizes losses due to improper storage or theft.

An overloaded construction site means a loss of productivity and often damaged material. Precise planning can avoid these problems and reduce costs

Professional waste disposal management
Waste disposal also plays a major role in construction costs. If construction site waste is not separated or disposed of correctly, avoidable costs are incurred. Professional construction logistics integrates a waste disposal concept that ensures that waste is properly separated and transported away. You should pay particular attention to reducing mixed construction waste, as its disposal costs are the highest.

You can also significantly minimize waste volumes by improving processes. The focus here is on efficient work processes and training your (construction) staff on recycling and correct waste separation. Depending on the project, it may make sense to set up a recycling center. In this case, responsibility for collection, sorting and cleaning remains with the trades and only waste disposal is centralized. In contrast, with centralized full-service waste disposal, the entire process is handled by the construction logistics provider.

Optimize transport logistics
Another area in which considerable savings can be made is delivery traffic management. If deliveries are not coordinated, this leads to bottlenecks, waiting times and unnecessary (empty) journeys. Optimized transport logistics bundles deliveries in a targeted manner, improves traffic flow and reduces fuel consumption.

Digitalization: more transparency and control
Digital tools enable precise planning, management and control of all construction logistics processes.

All-in-one solutions such as our BCLOnSite software help you to accurately document material consumption, optimize supply chains and identify potential bottlenecks at an early stage. Transparent construction logistics also reduces incorrect orders and prevents unnecessary subsequent deliveries. This allows you to calculate costs better and avoid unexpected expenses and subsequent deliveries.

Smart construction logistics: your key to an economical construction project
Professional construction logistics can sustainably reduce your construction costs. It ensures an efficient supply of materials, optimized routes, less idle time and a well thought-out disposal concept. If you involve a construction logistics company in your project at an early stage, you will benefit from a smoother construction process, increased efficiency and ultimately reduced construction costs.

Together with you, we develop a construction logistics concept tailored to your wishes and the requirements of the project, including the necessary regulations for all project participants, even before the execution phase and thus help to ensure that your schedules as well as the cost and quality specifications are met.
