Does a builder need to provide site access instructions to a subcontractor?

Yes, genuinely important — clear site access details (gate codes, parking arrangements, any specific site rules) help a concrete subcontractor arrive prepared and work efficiently, rather than losing time working out access on arrival.

This is particularly relevant on larger sites with multiple trades active simultaneously, where genuine coordination on access and scheduling helps avoid conflicts between different trades’ equipment and material deliveries.

A properly organised builder provides this information proactively as part of standard project coordination, rather than leaving each subcontractor to figure out access independently.
