How Preconstruction Logistics Mitigate Supply Chain Disruptions

How Preconstruction Logistics Mitigate Supply Chain Issues

• Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Relationships
  One of the ways KennMar mitigates supply chain issues is by building strong relationships with trusted suppliers. We don’t wait for a shortage to arise; instead, we proactively collaborate with our supplier network to monitor market trends and product availability. By planning ahead and maintaining these relationships, we can secure materials early, lock in prices, and avoid the delays that often come from last-minute sourcing.
• Alternative Material Planning
  Even the most reliable supply chains can be disrupted. To combat this, our preconstruction team identifies alternative materials during the planning phase. We work with clients to review comparable options that maintain the quality and integrity of the project. Having these alternatives on standby ensures that when unforeseen shortages or price spikes occur, we are prepared to pivot without sacrificing project momentum.
• Detailed Scheduling and Phased Deliveries
  At KennMar, we develop detailed, phased schedules to align material deliveries with the needs of each project stage. This level of precision allows us to order and receive materials just in time, reducing the risk of storing excess materials on-site while also avoiding project delays. Additionally, this approach minimizes the impact of supply chain delays by ensuring that critical materials are available when needed most.
• Budget Protection Through Early Procurement
  Material shortages and rising costs can wreak havoc on a project budget if not anticipated early. During preconstruction, our team works diligently to lock in material orders and pricing well in advance of construction. By taking this proactive approach, we protect clients from price fluctuations and budget overruns, ensuring that the project stays financially sound from start to finish.
