How Can You Ensure Smooth and Efficient Balcony Deliveries?
When working with Sapphire’s innovative balconies, efficient transport and logistics are crucial to maintaining rapid installation speeds. Our Glide-On system holds the record of 62 balconies installed in a single day, compared to the industry standard of just 4-6. This unparalleled efficiency means the next challenge is ensuring balconies arrive on-site exactly when needed.
Optimised Offsite Manufacturing & Storage
To prevent logistical bottlenecks, all balconies are manufactured offsite ahead of schedule. They are then stored in our vast third-party logistics hubs, ensuring they are ready for install before the agreed date. This approach eliminates last-minute delays, keeping your project on track.
Safe & Damage-Free Transport
We are committed to delivering balconies pristine, secure, and installation-ready. That’s why we have invested in custom trailers, designed to:
- Allow double-stacking for maximised transport efficiency.
- Pre-fit guardrails to ensure safe offloading.
- Attach certified slings at dispatch, so site teams can offload quickly without climbing onto balconies.
Sustainable & Cost-Effective Delivery Planning
Before dispatch, each project receives a custom lorry plan, optimising balcony transport to:
- Maximise capacity per load, reducing overall transport costs.
- Minimise emissions & carbon footprint, supporting sustainable construction.
- Accommodate phased deliveries, with Hiab lorries available for smaller or early-bird balcony requirements (e.g., marketing suites).
Quality Assurance with the Balcony Passport App
Every balcony is fully traceable through the Sapphire Balcony Passport App, ensuring:
- End-to-end quality control – Every stage, from manufacturing to installation, is signed off before dispatch.
- Complete transparency – Digital records track every component, reducing on-site inspections.
- Right-first-time delivery – Pre-checked balconies mean faster handovers and fewer snagging issues.
