How to prepare a job site before the crew arrives
A few minutes of prep means the crew starts work instead of waiting.
- Confirm access. Make sure the crew knows how to get in, where to park and who to call.
- Check materials. Verify what has been delivered and what is still missing.
- Clear the work area. Ask the customer to move furniture or vehicles ahead of time.
- Share the plan. Send the scope, photos and notes to the crew the day before.
- Plan for protection. Bring floor covers, drop cloths or whatever the site needs.
