Window Delivery Scheduling and Site Access Preparation Guide

t404-30

Good window delivery depends on planning before the truck arrives. Confirm the delivery date with the factory, clear and measure the access route and opening, and arrange a dry, protected place to store frames until installation.

Start with the measurement visit

Every aluminum window is made to measure, so delivery planning begins with an on-site measurement. Our team checks each opening, the wall thickness, the sill height and any obstacles that could affect fitting. The measurements are recorded in a written specification that you and the client approve before production starts.

As site manager, keep the measurement appointment and make sure the openings are accessible, clean and free of temporary items. Accurate openings prevent delays later.

Confirm the production and delivery timeline

After approval, the windows go into production at our Tel Aviv factory. Finishing steps such as powder coating happen before packing, so the delivery date depends on the approved drawings and the finishing schedule. Ask for a confirmed delivery window in writing and share it with the crew and the building committee.

Prepare the access route

Check the path from the street to the floor where the windows will be installed. Note the entrance width, any ramps, stairs and lift dimensions. Long window frames need clear turning space, so remove loose materials, bins and parked vehicles from the route on delivery day.

If a crane or lift is needed for upper floors, arrange it with the contractor before the delivery date and confirm who is responsible for the unloading equipment.

Set up a safe storage area

Aluminum windows should be stored upright, on level ground, away from wet concrete, dust and direct sun where possible. Protective films and packaging should remain in place until installation. Keep the frames away from walkways and have a dry, covered space ready before the truck arrives.

Store glass units separately from frames and keep them out of the reach of other trades to avoid breakage.

Check the delivery on arrival

When the windows arrive, check each unit against the delivery note and the approved specification. Confirm the quantity, the frame colour, the glazing type and the handle position. Inspect for transport damage while the driver is still present and note any issues on the delivery paperwork.

Report discrepancies to the factory the same day so that replacements or corrections can be planned without holding up the installation crew.

Coordinate installation with the site

Installation works best when the openings are ready: plaster, sealing and sills should be prepared to the agreed level, and the wall should be clean and dry. Tell the installation crew the sequence of floors and rooms so that windows are fitted in the right order and protected from later trades.

Keep a simple checklist with the delivery date, access confirmation, storage location and installation start date. Sharing it with the client and contractor keeps everyone aligned from delivery to handover.

Frequently asked questions

How early should I confirm the delivery date?

Confirm the date as soon as the approved specification is signed, and reconfirm a few days before the truck is due. Early confirmation helps the factory and your crew plan together.

Who should be present when the windows are delivered?

A responsible person from the site should be present to check quantities and inspect the units. Having someone available to sign the delivery note avoids disputes later.

Where should aluminum windows be stored on site?

Store them upright on level, dry ground under cover if possible, away from wet concrete and heavy traffic. Keep protective packaging on until installation.

What if the access route is too narrow for the frames?

Tell us before the delivery day so we can plan the handling or split the load. Measuring the route in advance is the best way to avoid surprises.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many delays happen when the access route is blocked on delivery day or the windows are left unprotected in an open site. Always check the route and storage area the day before.

Our recommendation

Walk the route and storage area with the delivery driver and crew a day before the truck arrives, and take photos to share with the factory. This simple step prevents most handling problems.

Summary

Planning measurement, timing, access and storage before delivery keeps aluminum window installation on schedule and protects the material.
