Why is there an extended lead time for the production and delivery on jobs over 5000 sq. ft.?
There is a limit for the quantity of coil inventory we can stock at our nine manufacturing locations. ASC Profiles has made a commitment to be able to respond to any order up to 5,000 sf for the popular panels, colors and gauges within 10 production days. Depending on the specific plant’s backlog, the lead time could be less. With over 30 Sales Offices throughout the U.S. and their Customers depleting inventory on a daily basis, a 40,000 sf order, for example, could deplete the supply, and negate us supplying the smaller quantities for the faster pace retrofit and small building construction. The 4-6 weeks lead time required for orders over 5,000 sf is well within the construction schedule for all buildings as long as the General Contractor awards his Subcontractor the contract at the beginning of the project and the Owner is timely in selecting a color to be backlogged allowing for the coil(s) to be ordered and delivered to the proper ASC Profiles facility.
