Project Kickoff Meeting for Site Preparation

The Project Kickoff Meeting workflow provides site preparation contractors with a structured method for launching jobs. It covers reviewing site surveys, confirming excavation requirements, setting schedules, and coordinating safety. By using this workflow, contractors reduce errors, improve efficiency, and build client trust. Clients benefit from transparency and confidence in the contractor’s preparation. Teams gain accountability and alignment. With this workflow in place, site prep companies can protect margins, strengthen credibility, and deliver projects more reliably and on time.
