Intended outcomes
- Packing data aligned with panelized, flat-pack or volumetric supply
- Clear port-to-site route, crane and storage inputs
- Defined Incoterm, handover and unloading interfaces
Packing and transport differences by system
| System | Transport density | Primary protection and handling focus | Site interface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panelized | Generally higher density | Panel edges, finishes, moisture, package order and handling points | Storage, sorting and assembly sequence |
| Flat-pack | Generally higher density | Complete kit identification, moisture protection and inventory control | Package sequence, local assembly and dry storage |
| Volumetric | Lower density and larger transport envelope | Integrated finishes, openings, lifting points and impact protection | Route, crane, temporary works and direct installation sequence |
Container, open-top, flat-rack or break-bulk selection is confirmed qualitatively from actual dimensions, weights, protection and route constraints. No container count, freight rate or schedule is published without current project data.
Coordination workflow
Collect cargo data
Confirm dimensions, weights, protection, handling and sequencing information.
Review the route
Check ports, inland constraints, permits, site access and lifting inputs with appointed providers.
Plan packing
Coordinate protection, identification, packing lists and loading sequence.
Prepare handover
Issue agreed shipping and site-receipt information without guaranteeing carrier performance.
Inputs required
- Final cargo dimensions, weights, lifting points and package IDs
- Incoterm and contractual handover point
- Origin and destination ports
- Road, bridge, gate, crane, unloading and storage constraints
Possible project deliverables
- Packing data sheet
- Cargo and package register
- Route-information checklist
- Site delivery and unloading interface list
- Document handover index
Typical control checks
- Moisture, impact, corrosion and finish protection
- Package identification, weights and lifting points
- Container, open-top, flat-rack or break-bulk conditions
- Sequence for unloading and installation
- Dry storage and temporary protection
Who remains responsible
ExportPrefab
Coordinate agreed packing and logistics information.
Manufacturer / packer
Execute the contracted packing method and provide actual cargo data.
Freight and inland providers
Confirm bookings, carrier limits, route and transport execution.
Owner / local contractor
Confirm site access, unloading, lifting, storage and local permits.
