End-of-Week Review & Progress Walks for Site Preparation

The End-of-Week Review & Progress Walks workflow provides site preparation contractors with a structured system for tracking quality and progress. It includes weekly inspections of grading, compaction, drainage systems, and schedule performance, while documenting updates. Teams assign corrective actions and report findings to stakeholders. By standardizing this process, site prep companies reduce costly errors, protect profitability, and improve professionalism. Clients benefit from confidence in site readiness and consistent oversight. With this workflow in place, site preparation contractors can strengthen credibility, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably with systematic weekly reviews.
