• Enables you to finish the job faster with equipment staged closer to the work area
• Allows necessary items to acclimatize, allowing for earlier installation

Extra Handling: Room of Choice*

Includes all the advantages of Inside Delivery with the following added benefits:

• Saves time & effort as items will be placed exactly where you need them.
• Safer option as you may not have the tools to easily move items yourself long distances.
