Shipping
Port to plant
A block weighs between sixteen and twenty-five tonnes. A good share of the landed price is decided by how it is loaded and shipped, so we treat shipping as part of the supply rather than an afterthought.

From confirmation to delivery. Material already in the yard shortens the first two stages; a bespoke search lengthens them.
