Construction Project Checklist
A plain-language checklist of the major decisions that should not be left until the site is already busy.
Use this before the next decision
- Confirm the latest approved drawings and specifications
- Confirm responsibilities between client, consultants and contractor
- Establish a realistic procurement and programme strategy
- Confirm the cost plan and allowances
- Confirm material/product approval procedures
- Establish site reporting and decision routes
- Record variations and changes formally
- Track quality issues rather than relying on memory
- Plan inspections, testing and commissioning
- Prepare for handover, defects, documentation and operation
HSD note: This checklist helps organise questions. It does not confirm site conditions, approvals, costs, structural adequacy or legal title. Those matters require appropriate professional investigation.
