iBuild Kit Home Delivery for Narrow Driveway Access
Transcript
Peter: And naturally, we have older homes with very narrow driveways. So does someone sort of come out, or do we provide… I’m just looking at the logistics and difficulties anticipating delivery, that’s all.
Charles Christodoulou: Not necessarily. iBuild would work that out. We’ll even go on – maybe Google Earth – and have a look at your access to estimate how wide it is.
Peter: Okay.
Charles Christodoulou: I think we’ll probably need – if you want a truck to drive through to the back – about 2.8 metres in width.
Peter: That rules that out straight away. We’ve got a 2.5-metre wide driveway, but yeah, sure.
Charles Christodoulou: Okay. The transport people may have a slightly narrower truck.
Charles Christodoulou: The other thing is – I’ll have to follow up – I’m no expert on truck widths. But if they can’t get anything down the side of the house, they’ll just leave it at the most convenient place – like the front yard or wherever.
Peter: Sure. Understood.
Charles Christodoulou: And the truck – I think – I’m sure they have a crane.
Peter: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I’m sure you’ve encountered all sorts of issues with deliveries before – messes and stuff.
Charles Christodoulou: Yeah. But again, when you –
Peter: Okay. We can clear that up when the time comes. We can get around that issue.
Charles Christodoulou: No worries. If we get to that stage where you fill out one of those forms I showed you in the presentation, just make a note.
Peter: Yes, sir.
Charles Christodoulou: There’s space on page two where you can write in any queries. So just write: Can a truck drive through a 2.5-metre wide opening? Then I can get you an answer.
If your kit home site has a 2.5 metre wide driveway, you’re probably wondering whether narrow driveway kit home delivery is possible. Here’s what you need to know based on iBuild kit home delivery access requirements and advice.
Minimum Width Requirements
iBuild recommends a minimum of 2.8 metres for delivery trucks to comfortably access a site.
However:
- If your driveway is narrower – such as 2.5 m – iBuild may still be able to deliver your materials.
- The team can assess your site remotely, often using multiple tools, to estimate access width.
- If truck access is restricted, materials may be unloaded at the most convenient location, such as the front yard or kerbside.

To ensure smooth narrow driveway kit home delivery:
- Mention your driveway width on your CR1 Form (Customer Requirements Form).
- iBuild will use this information when preparing your cost estimate and delivery strategy.
- This ensures iBuild kit home delivery access is handled safely and efficiently.
Even with access constraints, iBuild’s experienced team can find practical solutions for challenging delivery situations – ensuring your materials arrive safely at the most accessible location on your property.
