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

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.

The forecast includes:

• Weather

• Maximum temperature
• Wind speed and direction every 3 hours
