Construction Site Visit Checklist: 20 Points You Must Not Miss
Never miss a point during your site visits with this 20-point checklist, usable on mobile.
Why a site visit checklist?
On site, attention is pulled in many directions: unexpected conversations, urgent problems, poor weather conditions. A checklist guarantees you cover all essential points, even in the most hectic conditions.
It also standardises practices within a team: a junior and a senior visit the site using the same evaluation criteria.
