What is the project stage?
Explain whether the enquiry concerns early planning, an approved design or a defined construction package. The stage affects the information needed for a useful discussion.
What information is available?
Ask which drawings, surveys and reports are needed. Share project documents through the contractor’s agreed channel rather than placing private files in a short website message.
What needs coordination?
Confirm who is responsible for permissions, utility information, engineering and the sequence of adjacent work. A written scope should state the assumptions and boundaries clearly.
