Prepare for a contractor site visit

Before the visit

• List the improvement you need and the result you want.
• Gather material preferences, approximate dimensions and any available plans.
• Write down known water, moisture, damage or previous repair history.

Make the area accessible

• Arrange access to the room or property and identify gates or locked areas.
• Keep pets safely away from the work area.
• Point out known utilities and any areas that should not be disturbed.

Agree on the next step

• Discuss what is included, what needs specialist review and what remains to measure.
• Review permits, access, scheduling and material availability before making commitments.
• Ask how the written scope, changes and completion will be handled.
