Good preparation protects the property and gives the crew a clear, efficient work area. The exact steps depend on whether the project is a driveway, home exterior, restaurant, garage or industrial site.
Confirm access and scope
Verify which surfaces are included, where the crew may stage and how gates, loading areas or parking zones will be accessed.
Protect people and movable property
Move vehicles, furniture and sensitive items from the agreed work zone. Communicate with residents, tenants, employees or vendors who may be affected.
Identify sensitive systems
Point out electrical fixtures, cameras, alarms, door seals, irrigation controls, fragile finishes and any known leaks or damage.
Plan for water and drainage
Discuss available water, drains, slopes, landscaping and any property-specific wastewater requirements before production begins.
