WHAT TO EXPECT

Step 1 - Logistics

Step 2 - Know Your Shipment

Wood Frame

The wood structural frame is delivered on 4’ wide pallets up to 13’ long. They are stacked, strapped and braced for transportation. Tip: Keep the large pallet for on site organization during the build. Only long distance deliveries are plastic wrapped for additional protection.

Batt Insulation

Batt insulation is compressed at the factory and strapped to 4’ x 4’ pallets no more then 8-9 high at a time. Larger models may require additional batts attached to different shipping pallets to save space.

Glass Crate

Each curtain wall is packed by our supplier in custom crates 4’ wide and a maximum of 12’ long. The glass is placed inside the aluminum frame for compact and safest transportation. We often attach different materials to these crates to save space in the truck. Local deliveries are sent directly from our supplier.

Interior Panels + Rigid Foam

Each interior panel kit is packed on a 4’ x 8’ pallet with thin foam sheets between each piece. They are then trapped and wrapped in a clear protective layer. We often add the rigid foam bundles on top of this type of pallet.

Metal Cladding

All standing seam cladding kits are packed by our supplier in 4’ wide by up to 14’ long crates. They contain all parts necessary to install cladding including screws, clips and adhesive. They can be unloaded by hand when arriving on site.

Modular Furniture

Furniture is packed in custom made boxes and strapped together in groups of 6 cabinets. These are sensitive to weather so store indoors until the Bunkie is weather tight. Be careful when opening boxes with knives and note orientation when removing the cardboard.

Bunkie Loading Examples

Above are some great examples of what the Bunkies look like during shipping. Most deliveries arrive to site by 26’ straight truck and can be unloaded by 2-3 people in 1-2 hours depending on site conditions. Every pallet or crate has a label to keep track of contents being shipped.
