7 Take a site visit Remember, just because it looks pretty on paper, doesn t mean its going to work out in the real world

8 The site visit Important keys to the site visit Put project into perspective Safety concerns Existing utilities Traffic Staging yards Close proximity to work area Property access Do you need to get permission/release Actual conditions Does everything match what's on the plans Is anyone else working nearby Distances to material suppliers Important step to managing how much the project will cost Environmental Make note of nearby streams, rivers, closed drainage systems
