HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Weather and the natural environment play a crucial role in construction, affecting schedules and determining whether a project makes a profit or loss.

We understand how the weather impacts on your schedules and your profits. We offer a comprehensive range of services, from forecast products to improve planning and efficiency, to historical data to settle contractual claims quickly and effectively.

Metbuild Direct delivers clear and precise forecasts that help you to plan your daily activities with confidence, and to minimise the impact of the weather on your operations.

The construction industry is another business segment which is extremely sensitive to the weather. We provide pertinent information on timing and intensity of precipitation for the exact construction location for either paving or roofing crews. If unexpected rain falls on fresh concrete, literally thousands of euros go down the drain. Also, temperature forecasts are also very important for paving crews.

We send forecasts for the next 6 days by email at around 8am each day.

The forecast includes:

• Weather
• Minimum temperature
• Maximum temperature
• Wind speed and direction every 3 hours
• Rain probability
• Thunderstorm probability
• Relative Humidity
• Cloud Cover
• Rain amount every 3 hours
• Next 24-hour warning

For a site of your choice, our tower-crane forecast service provides you with mean and gust wind speeds (km/h at required heights), wind direction and weather for the next five days. Delivered via e-mail, on a one-off basis or routine service, the forecast is easy to understand and is a great help in saving you time and money when planning the allocation of your resources.

14-DAY WEATHER FORECASTS

Our 3-months weather forecast is sent by email once a month, normally at the end of the month. It includes a week-by-week detailed weather description, including temperatures and rainfall.

The General Monthly Summary (GMS) is a record of weather data, giving daily values, means and averages for a range of weather elements.

The GMS 'weather log' helps farmers and other agriculturists to assess how the weather may have affected their business and specific activities like planting, spraying, irrigation and harvest.

The weather elements covered include:

• Temperature, maximum and minimum
• Rainfall
• Wind, average and maximum gust
• Humidity
• Significant weather - days when thunderstorms, hail, fog and gales were reported
