Builder Window & Door Delivery and Site Readiness Melbourne

Window and door delivery works best when the project programme, access and site conditions are coordinated before the units arrive. This guide outlines practical information Melbourne builders can provide to JL when planning delivery or installation of aluminium windows and doors.

The exact responsibilities and delivery scope should follow the individual quotation and agreed project arrangements.

Confirm the Required Programme

Provide the required delivery or installation programme as early as practical and advise JL if the construction schedule changes. Manufacturing and delivery planning should be coordinated with the approved specification and current project programme rather than an outdated preliminary date.

See the JL window and door lead-time guide.

Confirm the Delivery Address and Site Contact

Before dispatch, confirm the project address and the appropriate site contact. If site access is restricted, gated or subject to particular delivery instructions, communicate those conditions before the delivery is scheduled.

Access for Frames and Large Glazing

Large windows, sliding doors, stacker doors and other substantial glazed units require suitable access and handling planning. Builders should consider driveway and site access, unloading location, internal movement paths and other constraints that could affect safe delivery or installation.

Prepare the Openings

Where JL is installing, the relevant openings and surrounding construction need to be ready for the agreed installation stage. The required condition depends on the construction type and scope. Any changes to opening dimensions, structure, floor levels, sill conditions or surrounding finishes should be communicated before manufacture or installation.

See Site Measure & Manufacturing Dimensions.

Protect Delivered Windows and Doors

Once products are delivered to site, subsequent trade activity should be planned so frames, glass, tracks, hardware and finishes are not damaged or contaminated. Storage and protection requirements depend on the site and delivery arrangement.

Supply Only vs Installation

For supply-only packages, the builder or nominated installer remains responsible for the installation scope agreed in the quotation. For JL installation projects, responsibilities should be confirmed before work starts so there is a clear interface between window installation and surrounding building work.

Before Delivery or Installation, Confirm

• Project address and site contact
• Required programme
• Access and unloading conditions
• Whether openings or construction details have changed
• Supply-only or installation scope
• Any large or difficult-to-handle units
• Any site restrictions relevant to delivery or installation
