Materials and suppliers in Baja
Plan materials for a peninsula: many items come from mainland Mexico or the US, so prices and lead times can be higher outside La Paz and Los Cabos. Choose salt- and sun-resistant materials near the coast, and confirm delivery to remote lots.
Why it matters
Material delays are a leading cause of schedule overruns.
