Procurement & Project Delivery
Successful mass timber construction depends on more than installation alone. Coordinated procurement, accurate scheduling, and reliable delivery planning keep a project running smoothly and help avoid costly delays. At Sound Carpentry, we support owners, designers, and builders by assisting with material sourcing, logistics, hardware coordination, and project delivery planning for mass timber projects throughout Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver, North Vancouver, and surrounding areas.
Material Sourcing & Procurement Support
Mass timber projects require precise coordination between suppliers, manufacturers, and site teams. We assist with:
-
Sourcing CLT, glulam, and engineered timber components
-
Coordinating with timber fabricators and suppliers
-
Clarifying material specifications and tolerances
-
Ensuring hardware and fasteners match the plans
-
Confirming production timelines and delivery windows
-
Addressing changes, substitutions, or supply issues
Our involvement helps ensure the right materials are selected, confirmed, and delivered on time.
Delivery Timing & Logistics Planning
Mass timber deliveries must be planned carefully to avoid site congestion and installation delays. We help teams prepare by:
-
Coordinating panel and beam delivery schedules
-
Sequencing truck arrivals to match crane availability
-
Planning unload zones and staging locations
-
Ensuring safe and efficient material handling
-
Reviewing site access constraints
-
Aligning deliveries with lift sequencing
Good logistics planning reduces downtime and keeps the project progressing smoothly.
Hardware, Fasteners & Connection Components
A large portion of delays on mass timber projects come from missing or mismatched hardware. We help ensure:
-
All connectors and fasteners are accounted for
-
Hardware arrives before it’s needed
-
Components match shop drawing specifications
-
Materials are packaged according to sequencing
-
Nothing is overlooked during procurement
This proactive approach prevents install interruptions and improves workflow.
Crane Coordination & On-Site Support
Delivery scheduling must align closely with crane use. We work with site supervisors and crane operators to:
-
Match truck timing to crane pick sequences
-
Coordinate pre-lift planning
-
Optimize crane positioning
-
Reduce idle time between lifts
-
Improve overall productivity
This ensures materials arrive ready to install and the crane remains productive.
