Property
Approvals, utilities, drainage, and location.
- Local permit and approval requirements
- Utility locating and overhead clearance
- Water flow, drainage, slopes, and setbacks
- Delivery address and reliable site access
Site and install readiness
Make the property ready before the crew and materials arrive.
A strong building plan can still lose time at the site. Use this page to surface access, grade, concrete, utility, approval, and working-room questions early enough to solve them.
Three readiness tracks
Check the property, the building footprint, and the install path.
Exact responsibility varies by project. The useful move is to identify each issue and assign it before a date depends on it.
Footprint
Grade, pad, slab, dimensions, and edge room.
- Level and compacted project area
- Verified footprint and opening locations
- Pad or slab condition and elevation
- Clear working room around every side
Install path
Delivery, staging, equipment, and weather.
- Trailer and equipment approach
- Material staging and crew access
- Fences, trees, structures, and soft ground
- Weather and ground-condition contingencies
A useful site photo
Show the whole footprint and the approach, not only the center of the pad.
Wide photos make edge clearance, drainage, grade, nearby obstacles, and equipment access easier to discuss.
Before scheduling
Make these six answers explicit.
- Who owns permits and local approvals?
- Who confirms utilities and setbacks?
- What surface will receive the building?
- Is the footprint level and correctly sized?
- Can delivery and install equipment reach it?
- What could delay or block the planned date?
Do not assume concrete, grading, permits, utility locating, or site correction are included until the project scope says so.
Avoid preventable delay
Send the site context with the building request.
Include the ZIP code, surface type, access notes, and wide site photos when you start the project. That creates a better first review than discovering the same details after scheduling.
