• Ensure these documents are accessible to the team on-site.

Step 9: Communicate Mobilization Plan

• Inform the project team and relevant stakeholders of the mobilization plan.
• Provide details on transportation schedules, equipment handling procedures, and contact information for any issues.

Step 10: Verify Site Readiness

• Confirm that the project site is ready to receive the equipment.
• Ensure there is adequate space for unloading and storing the equipment securely upon arrival.

Step 1: Schedule the Site Visit

• Coordinate with key stakeholders to schedule the final pre-construction site visit.
• Confirm the date and time, and ensure all necessary participants, such as project managers, supervisors, and key subcontractors, are informed.

Step 2: Review Pre-Visit Checklist

• Prepare a checklist of items to verify during the site visit, including site preparation, roofing equipment, safety measures, and materials.
• Ensure the checklist is comprehensive and covers all critical aspects of the roofing project.

Step 3: Gather Necessary Documentation

• Collect all relevant project documents, such as site plans, roofing permits, safety plans, and material lists.
• Bring copies of these documents to the site visit for reference.

Step 4: Inspect Roof Preparation

• Verify that the roof is prepared for construction, including the removal of any debris or obstacles.
• Ensure that access points to the roof, such as ladders or scaffolding, are secure and stable.

Step 5: Verify Equipment and Material Delivery

• Check that all necessary roofing equipment and materials, such as shingles, tiles, underlayment, and fasteners, have been delivered to the site.

• Verify that emergency procedures and first aid supplies are available and accessible on the roof and ground.

Step 7: Confirm Utility Connections

• Verify that all necessary utility connections, such as electricity for roofing equipment, are available and functioning.
• Ensure that temporary utilities, if needed, are in place and operational.

Step 8: Assess Site Logistics

• Review the site logistics, including equipment staging areas, material storage, and worker facilities.
• Ensure that the layout is organized and efficient for the roofing construction process.

Step 9: Discuss with Team Members

• Engage with team members and subcontractors present at the site.
• Address any last-minute questions or concerns and confirm that everyone is ready to start roofing work.

Step 10: Document Findings

• Record detailed notes on the findings of the site visit.
• Include photographs of critical areas and any issues that need to be addressed, especially potential hazards on the roof.

Step 11: Communicate Readiness

• Report the findings of the site visit to the project team and relevant stakeholders.
• Confirm that the site is ready for roofing construction to begin and outline any actions needed to address outstanding issues.
