Masonry Material Delivery Scheduler
Plan delivery cycles from total masonry material required, daily installation rate, current site stock and load capacity. The tool converts production demand into practical delivery quantities without pretending to predict supplier performance.

How delivery scheduling works
The scheduler first subtracts usable stock, then applies the selected planning buffer. The resulting material demand is divided into delivery loads.
Planning requirement = new requirement × (1 + buffer)
Loads = ceiling(planning requirement ÷ load capacity)
Worked example
If 12,000 units are required and 1,500 are already on site, 10,500 remain. With a 10% planning buffer, the procurement planning quantity becomes 11,550 units. At 2,500 units per load, five loads are required.
Why site stock matters
Counting material already available at the project can prevent unnecessary early deliveries. Keep “usable stock” separate from damaged, quarantined or inaccessible material.
Use daily production carefully
An installation rate is a planning assumption. It may vary with wall geometry, crew availability, access, cutting, weather and material handling. Historical site data is a stronger basis than a generic productivity value.
Limitations
This tool estimates delivery cycles and calendar timing. It is not a dispatch system, supplier booking tool or guaranteed logistics schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plan deliveries from daily block installation?
Yes.
Should existing stock be deducted?
Yes, when it is usable for the planned work.
Does the tool account for supplier lead time?
Yes, in the estimated first-delivery timing.
Does it predict delays?
No.
Can I include a buffer?
Yes.
