Why should contractors anticipate the equipment needs for the entire project?
What will be an ideal response?
The contractor should anticipate the amount, size, and packaging method of the material and have the appropriate means of moving the material on the jobsite prior to delivery. Planning at the start of the project can provide adequate provisions for lifting equipment through the duration of the project. Permanent equipment should be selected for the majority of lifting and material handling. Some equipment needs may be temporary and require special machinery such as a mobile crane, for a few hours or days, because of the size, location, or amount of material delivered to the jobsite. Some lifting equipment will be the subcontractors' responsibility, such as the crane for erecting structural steel or for lifting a chiller unit to the roof of the building. Although the subcontractor is responsible for the cost of the lifting equipment, the general contractor should provide a location for the lifting equipment and for the delivery of the equipment. The contractor must consider all of the material that is to be installed on the project, including that furnished by subcontractors, when establishing a jobsite plan.
