When a jobsite runs behind schedule, every hour counts. Delays can eat into your budget, and unsecured tools become easy targets for theft. Fast storage containers, which fit your space and keep your gear safe, help you focus on the work, but you’ll need the right one delivered to you as soon as possible.
The 5-Step Process for Fast Container Delivery
Once you know what information to gather and how to communicate it, most providers can get a conex to your site within a couple of days.
Step 1: Gather Your Site and Order Details
A storage provider is more likely to solve your issues quickly if you have the right information before you contact them. While each construction project is different, the most important details commonly required include:
- The size of the container needed: A 20′ container typically works well for tools, while a 40′ container is more suitable for bulkier materials or sharing between contractors.
- A clearly defined placement location: Specify exactly where on the jobsite the container needs to go, and whether the doors should be facing the cab or rear.
- Onsite contact information: Note the name and details of your onsite contact for answering questions or addressing concerns.
- The duration of your storage container rental: Having a rough timeline helps providers plan logistics and provide accurate pricing.
Step 2: Assess Your Jobsite Location
Assess your location and picture any potential obstacles that could hinder fast placement. Walk the site and identify a clear, level placement spot for the container. Check for adequate clearance for the delivery truck to maneuver without getting stuck. Measure gate widths if the container needs to pass through an entrance. Inspect for overhead lines, tight gates, soft ground or any other potential obstacles that could impede delivery.
This approach helps ensure efficiency from day one and avoid issues on delivery day. Partnering with a provider that understands contractor needs can reduce worries and facilitate clear communication about delivery expectations.
Step 3: Clarify Local Permit Requirements
Obtaining necessary permits is the customer’s responsibility. Checking with your local municipality is a critical step to avoid fines and potential delivery delays. The areas listed below offer some good examples of what to look for.
While these examples don’t cover the specifics of the entire state, they’re a good starting point for construction project managers to conduct research:
- Colorado: Jefferson County’s Right-of-Way Use and Construction Permit page may be beneficial for Colorado-based projects.
- Oklahoma: The City of Oklahoma City’s Building and Trade Permits page outlines some of the permits that may be required.
- Texas: Montgomery County has specific information on permits for shipping and storage containers, treating them as structures that require a development permit.
- Arizona: A Temporary Use Permit may be required for construction projects in Maricopa County. Other counties in Arizona may have their own specific requirements.
Confirming permit requirements is crucial for getting a storage container to a jobsite quickly and preventing legal delays. The specific requirements of the state or county you’re working in will vary, so independently researching these guidelines is essential.
Step 4: Schedule and Prepare for Your Delivery
The information you’ve gathered should be communicated to your chosen provider. A delivery window and a clear, jargon-free final quote should be provided by this stage. With the core details in place, a reputable company should be able to provide the right container quickly. This time frame can typically range from two to three days, depending on your location and project specifics.
Step 5: Consider What Will Provide Peace of Mind
Construction site storage is an investment against larger potential financial issues. When there are many other things going on, it’s one less headache you have to think about. Research shows the average construction project experiences a delay of 20% to 40% compared to its original timeline.
Staying ahead of logistical and storage issues helps reduce delays and keep your crew productive. By exploring innovative protection systems, you can gain the benefits of a fast solution without sacrificing safety.
How to Choose the Right Storage Container Provider
Anyone can make an empty promise of fast, secure delivery, so it’s important to evaluate providers and confirm you’re making a good choice.
Ask a potential conex box provider these questions:
- Are the containers weather-resistant and rodent-proof?
- What security measures are included?
- Has the provider delivered to similar challenging locations before?
- Have they confirmed they can accommodate precise container placements?
- Are there any existing testimonials from satisfied customers?
- Is their team responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with?
