Establish a primary contact
❑
❑
within your household.
Establish a primary contact
❑
❑
with the remodeler.
Decide on the best commu-
❑
❑
nication method: cell phone,
regular meetings, email?
Set ground rules for what
❑
❑
hours workers will be al-
lowed in your home. Is it ok
for work to begin at 6 a.m.?
Can the remodeler be there
on weekends?
Establish a location to keep
❑
❑
a lock box with keys to the
house.
Where will work vehicles
❑
❑
park?
Establish a primary entrance
❑
❑
and exit for the job site. If the
entrance is not part of the
project, how will the floors,
walls, etc, between the
entrance and the project be
protected?
Will smoking, profanity or
❑
❑
radios be allowed on the
jobsite?
Determine where onsite
❑
❑
construction materials will
be kept. Can tools, genera-
tor, saws, etc, which may be
harmful to children or pets
and expensive to replace if
lost, be left in the project
overnight?
What bathroom should the
❑
❑
craftsmen use?
Are there areas of the house
❑
❑
that are off limits to crafts-
men?
Where will your materials be
❑
❑
stored if they arrive early?
Determine where personal
❑
❑
belongings will be stored
during the remodel. Don’t
forget that you may want to
store some items that are not
in the project area but may
be particularly sensitive to
the construction dust.
Does the space being re-
❑
❑
modeled contain any special
item such as light fixtures
or cabinets that you would
like saved from the demoli-
tion? If so, where will they be
stored?
What will be done to reduce
❑
❑
the impact of dust and dirt
to other areas of the house?
Where will construction de-
bris containers be located?
How thorough do you want
❑
❑
the final clean-up to be? Who
will arrange and pay for such
a cleaning?
Can a job sign be placed
❑
❑
in the yard? In addition to
being a helpful marketing
tool for the remodeler, a sign
helps trade contactors and
suppliers locate the jobsite.
