Field notes.

Notes from the jobs we are running. Method, not marketing. Written when there is something worth writing down, which is not every week.

FIRST ENTRIES IN PREPARATION

This page is built and waiting on its first published entries. Nothing here is filler: an article appears when a project produces something a general contractor or a facilities manager can actually use. Send us a subject you would want covered and we will write that one first.

PLANNED ENTRIES

Containment

How a sealed barrier is actually built

Floor to deck, the order of operations, where negative air goes and why the tape line matters more than the plastic.

Prequalification

What a GC needs from us before a bid list

The document set, who issues each piece, and how long each one takes to obtain.

Scheduling

Phasing work around a clinic that stays open

Night and weekend sequencing, access routes, and what has to be agreed with the owner before day one.

Estimating

Why we walk an occupied site before pricing it

Existing conditions are where change orders come from. What we look for on a walk-through.
