Why Spring Is the Peak for Infrastructure Projects in FloridaSpring brings more than blooming flowers and warmer weather—it’s the unofficial kickoff to Florida’s most active construction period. From roadway repairs and bridge work to municipal upgrades and private developments, contractors are eager to take advantage of favorable conditions before summer’s high heat and hurricane risks roll in.However, with this seasonal surge in activity comes intensified competition for materials—especially FDOT aggregates. These specially engineered materials are vital for meeting the Florida Department of Transportation’s strict requirements for road safety, structural integrity, and long-term durability.The Risks of Delayed Aggregate DeliveryWhen FDOT aggregate deliveries are delayed, entire project schedules can unravel. Without the proper materials on-site when they’re needed, crews may experience costly downtime, missed deadlines, and even non-compliance with state or municipal requirements.Common consequences of delayed aggregate delivery include:- Disrupted construction timelines
- Cost overruns from extended equipment rentals or labor
- Non-compliance penalties if FDOT specifications aren’t met
- Strain on project management teams who must constantly adjust schedules

Forecast Material Needs Early
Plan your aggregate needs at the start of the season—don’t wait until the last minute. Review your project timelines and estimate how much and what type of material you’ll need at each phase.2. Coordinate Deliveries Around Milestones
Instead of placing one large order, consider breaking deliveries into smaller batches aligned with specific project milestones. This reduces on-site storage needs and helps ensure fresh materials are ready when needed.3. Communicate Clearly and Often
Keep open lines of communication with your supplier. Share project updates, weather concerns, or shifting deadlines with your aggregate provider so they can adjust delivery schedules as necessary.4. Consider Recycled Aggregates
If your project allows, use FDOT-compliant recycled aggregates as a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to virgin materials.
