Construction Site Delivery Checklist for Accra Contractors

Measure the gate and note sharp turns, parked vehicles, overhead lines, drains, soft shoulders and unfinished roads. A vehicle suitable for the material may still be unable to reach the intended unloading point.

Give CargoMov the exact site pin plus written access directions. If the last section is unsuitable for a heavy truck, select a safe transfer point and plan the smaller vehicle or handling method in advance.

Coordinate the supplier, truck, site supervisor and lifting equipment around one realistic window. Do not schedule several large deliveries into the same narrow space. Protect neighbours and road users from unmanaged reversing or roadside unloading.

Nominate a trained banksman where vehicle movement requires guidance. The driver should stop if the manoeuvre is unclear rather than relying on conflicting signals from several workers.

Confirm whether the site provides helpers, a forklift, crane, wheelbarrows or lifting straps. Clear the route from the truck to storage and keep cement, electrical fittings and finishes protected from rain and ground moisture.

CargoMov booking details should say who loads and unloads. This avoids the common situation where a vehicle arrives but nobody is available or authorised to handle the goods.

Count items against the order and note visible damage before acceptance. Photograph the load and storage position, and identify shortages immediately. Do not leave valuable materials exposed simply because the transport portion has ended.

Use the delivery record to review supplier readiness, transport timing and site waiting. The results will improve scheduling for the next phase of the project.
