Customer service & returns · Building products distribution
Resolve job-site disputes without stalling the build.
Damaged drywall comes off the flatbed, or a delivered release lands short. Until the replacement ships and the credit posts, the crew waits and the GC calls.
The reality
A job-site claim is a clock.
The dispute has to be tied to the delivery — the POD, the load manifest, the driver's damage notes — then a replacement dispatched and a credit issued before the build schedule slips and the relationship with the GC frays.
The operator logs the claim against the delivery, dispatches the replacement on the next route, issues the credit, and closes the case — so the site keeps moving and the dispute doesn't turn into a held invoice.
