01
A brief the whole site can use.
Include the site postcode, a named contact, the relevant construction stage and what needs to move. Keep incoming products and outgoing material as separate lines with their own quantities. Share the material specification and any documentation requirements before the price and visit are agreed, rather than leaving important checks until the lorry arrives.
02
Make access instructions practical.
Describe the approach, proposed working position, restrictions and the person who will coordinate the visit. Flag shared routes, overhead obstacles and surfaces affected by ongoing work. Update the team if excavations, parked equipment or another delivery change the agreed arrangement. An earlier visit is useful context, not automatic confirmation that the current setup is suitable.
03
Sequence the movements.
Explain which task depends on collection or delivery and how much material will be ready. For staged work, identify the next useful collection point rather than treating the whole project estimate as one stockpile. If incoming material needs the same working area as outgoing waste, include that dependency in the brief and confirm the practical order with the team.
04
Keep quoting and invoicing clear.
Provide the company name, the contact’s preferred reply route and a meaningful job reference. An enquiry is not an account application, agreed credit terms or a confirmed booking. After a job has been agreed, use the exact invoice or job reference for payment and speak to the accounts team if a total needs clarification.
