Site Readiness Before Module Delivery

Verify the foundation

Confirm dimensions, level, anchors, bearing points, openings and curing requirements. Use a signed readiness report or survey where appropriate.

Remove standing water, snow, debris and temporary obstructions that affect placement or worker access.

Prepare logistics

Build temporary roads and crane pads to the specified capacity. Mark underground services and protect septic fields, wells and completed work.

Confirm traffic control, neighbour notice, utility coordination and emergency contacts.

Prepare the building enclosure

Have membranes, flashing, roofing materials, pumps, tarps and crews ready to close seams immediately. Weather can change during a long set.

Coordinate inspectors so structural connections can be reviewed without leaving the building exposed unnecessarily.

Apply this guide to a real project

For site readiness before module delivery, create a dated project note tied to the destination address and current drawing revision. Identify the authority, designer, factory or contractor responsible for each unresolved item. Attach the written evidence for ‘Has foundation readiness been documented?’ and ‘Are access and crane bearing conditions accepted by the contractors?’ rather than recording a verbal assurance.

Before a deposit, production release, shipment or final payment, convert every open question into a named action with an owner and deadline. Keep superseded drawings and decisions in the record so later inspectors, lenders, insurers and future owners can understand why the completed house differs from an early sales plan.

Questions to resolve before proceeding

• Has foundation readiness been documented?
• Are access and crane bearing conditions accepted by the contractors?
• Are underground and overhead hazards marked?
• Is the weather-closing crew and material package on site?
