Project Manager Tips
✓ Confirm drawings, specifications, quantities, and installation locations before materials arrive.
✓ Verify site readiness, access, and staging requirements before scheduling the installation crew.
✓ Inspect FF&E as soon as it arrives so damaged or missing components can be addressed before installation.
✓ Organize materials by location or installation sequence to reduce unnecessary handling and installation delays.
✓ Coordinate installation activities with other trades when site access or finished conditions could affect the work.
✓ Photograph completed installations and document punch-list items before final project closeout.
