Courier Services for Architects and Engineers

Mark: Hi, it's Mark from Top Local. I'm here with Mark Huggan of Phantom Couriers in Vancouver, one of the hundred fastest growing companies in the province of BC, and one of Vancouver's favourite courier companies. So how’re you doing Mark? 

Mark: We're doing great. Thank you. How are you? 

Mark: Good. Really good. So we were kind of discussing before we started, like some of the folks that do a lot of, need courier services and architects and engineers was one that came up. Why would architects and engineers need to use your services a lot? 

Mark: Their projects are constantly evolving. So, you know, an architect designs a building looks great on paper. They get the permitting done, they start digging the hole, and lo and behold, what do you know? Something changes. So those changes have to go through a process, which mean printers have to print up new drawings, engineers have to snap those drawings. All the reporting has to be done. And it all has to be done in a sequence and it has to be tracked. And you also have to be very, you know, it has to be on point. So when they call, you go and nothing gets mixed up. Everything's along the right lines. You go to the right place at the right time, get the right thing done. Go back and then, you know, because they're decentralized. So the architect and engineer may be talking from two different offices about a project.

They need to have all that info together. And I'll tell you a roll of drawings can be 60 pounds. You know, it's a big, expensive, important thing and you don't mess around with that kind of stuff. You want to get her done. And we get called all day to do that, you know, across town and across the country too.

Mark:  Of course, so a 50 story building or whatever is going to be amount to a tremendous amount of plans. And of course the longer that that planning process or change order takes, the more money is being, people are waiting for that to move forward. 

Mark: Time is money. Those apartments, let's say it was an apartment, and they did a pre sale, well, that money's just shrinking. You know, every day it's going down and they want to pin it so that they can recoup and go. Just think of how many trades have to be involved with the change. Electrical, you got your HVAC, you've got your low voltage guys, you've got your concrete guys, your structural, it's insane. And a good courier can put it all together and it consolidate that and make your task so much better. 

Mark: And on time and in the right order. 

Mark: Yeah. And you want everybody to get it at the same time. If there's a conference call, if there's something that's urgently happening and everybody has to have it at once and they're like, okay, at 11 everybody's on Zoom. It's like, boom, we got our changes here, and that's what we're a big part of. We love doing it. It's cool.
