THE BIG BUILD EPISODE 17 | Lorry Chaos, Block Deliveries & Our Plan B Disaster!
Welcome back to Episode 17 of The Big Build with The Bald Builders and this one is absolute onsite chaos.
What should have been a simple Cemex block delivery quickly turns into a logistical nightmare with multiple Arctic lorries, smashed fences, failed plans, and some very creative problem-solving from the team.
From Hollywood Brad waking Ted up for work, to drivers asking for photos and Sam scrambling to invent Plan B… then Plan C, this episode shows the real side of construction sites in the UK when deliveries don’t go to plan and the only way forward is to think fast and make it work.
We also get a visit from Adam from @ForterraPlc who gets put on the spot about LBC bricks, while Sam attempts to explain how bricks are actually made… surprisingly, he’s not far off.
If you enjoy building projects, bricklaying, construction site life, trades banter, and the reality of large house builds, this episode is for you.
Expect:
Construction site chaos
Building material deliveries
Lorry driver disasters
Brick & block talk
Proper trade banter
And of course… The Bald Builders doing what we do best.
