Site Readiness Checklist Before Works Start

Site Readiness Checklist Before Works Start

Starting works too early often creates confusion, delays, and unnecessary corrections. This checklist helps confirm whether a site is ready from a practical, technical, and coordination perspective.

Confirm before starting

Review: - scope clarity - contractor alignment - technical findings - material timing - access conditions - logistics planning - sequencing of trades - protection of finished areas - waste handling - contingency preparedness

Common risk signals

- unclear early scope - unresolved technical issues - late procurement decisions - missing coordination ownership - unrealistic start expectations

Final note

Site readiness is not only about availability. It is about whether the project can start without avoidable confusion.
