Measure gates and narrow turns and record slopes, surfaces, trees, roof edges, fences, overhead lines, utilities, septic areas, retaining walls, and neighboring conditions.
Identify temporary work
Ask what must be removed, protected, bridged, fenced, disconnected, relocated, or restored. Name who performs and pays for each item and when access must be ready.
Plan excavation and material movement
Clarify machinery, spoil storage or removal, material delivery, washout, dust, mud, street protection, and working hours. Limited access can change methods and sequence.
Protect occupied property
Define temporary barriers, safe household paths, pet control, delivery coordination, security, weather response, and daily site condition while the yard is under construction.
Record unknown conditions
List unverified soil, rock, groundwater, buried services, and structural concerns. Ask what can be investigated early and how a discovery will be documented and approved.
