III. DELIVERY
Delivery is among the most overlooked areas for potential problems on a log home project. Log homes are delivered on tractor-trailer rigs while log homes are typically built in locations not easily accessed by this type of vehicle. StoneMill's delivery prices assume that a tractor-trailer rig can deliver the materials to your foundation. If the delivery vehicles cannot access your jobsite, additional charges accrue.
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
The goal of Creekside's delivery service is to provide tractor-trailer delivery as priced by StoneMill. Creekside's jobsite inspection program allows for the identification of the best equipment to access to your jobsite. Creekside's vehicles are better suited for delivery into tough jobsites. If your jobsite is inaccessible by tractor-trailer, Creekside has additional equipment to address these issues.
RELIABLE DRIVERS
Creekside has experienced drivers who are skilled at accessing difficult jobsites.
INACCESSIBLE JOBSITES
 If your jobsite is inaccessible by tractor-trailer there are two options:
1. You can arrange to have the vehicles offloaded and delivered to your jobsite prior to our crew arrival
2. StoneMill will price additional labor and delivery services to deliver the materials to your foundation on smaller vehicles. Return to top
