Freight Solutions for Construction and Infrastructure
Road and sea freight for construction materials and structural steel. Project delivery coordination, site access management, and customs clearance for international material sourcing.
Construction projects run on material delivery schedules. When materials arrive late, work stops. When materials arrive damaged, work stops. When materials arrive at a site that is not ready to receive them, costly storage and handling problems follow. Construction logistics requires a freight partner who understands project schedules, coordinates with site management, and flags problems early rather than discovering them at the point of delivery. GoodFreight handles freight for construction and infrastructure businesses with the project coordination and site delivery experience that this sector requires.
We arrange sea freight for high-volume construction materials including structural steel, timber, cladding, stone, and specialist architectural products. We arrange road freight for construction materials moving within the UK and across Europe. For project-based shipments with firm delivery dates, we plan the shipping programme against the construction schedule and manage customs clearance, site delivery coordination, and any permit requirements for oversized loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deliver construction materials directly to a project site?
Yes. We coordinate site delivery including confirming the right vehicle type for site access conditions, pre-advising the site manager of the delivery time, and obtaining a signed delivery note at delivery. For sites with specific access requirements including time windows, vehicle size restrictions, height limits, or banksman requirements, we confirm these at the point of booking and instruct the driver accordingly. We do not deliver to sites without first confirming the access arrangement.
What documentation is required for timber imports and the UK timber regulations?
UK timber regulations (equivalent to the EU Timber Regulation post-Brexit) require importers of timber products to exercise due diligence to verify that the timber was legally harvested in the country of origin. For timber from South-East Asia, South America, and Africa, this typically requires documentation from the supplier confirming legal harvest under the applicable national forestry regulations. For species listed in CITES appendices, export and import permits are required separately. We advise on timber documentation requirements for your specific product and origin.
Are construction materials from China subject to anti-dumping duties?
Some construction materials from China are subject to UK and EU anti-dumping duties. Steel products including certain hot-rolled flat products and seamless pipes have historically been subject to measures. Ceramic floor tiles from China are subject to EU anti-dumping duties. The specific measures that apply depend on the product type and the HS code. We assess anti-dumping duty applicability for your specific construction materials at quote stage so there are no unexpected duty costs at the border.
