Clear safe access
Move vehicles, lawn equipment, furniture, decorations, and other obstacles away from the work route and project area.
Protect people and pets
Plan where children and pets will stay while tools, equipment, materials, and open work areas are present.
Confirm communication
Identify the decision-maker, preferred contact method, and any times when noise or access may need special coordination.
Expect controlled disruption
Construction creates noise, dust, deliveries, and temporary changes in access. Discuss protection and cleanup expectations before work begins.
