Construction Site Visit Checklist

A practical walkthrough list for weekly or fortnightly site visits so you catch issues early.

  1. 1

    Wear safety footwear and a helmet

    Do not enter active pour zones without PPE.

  2. 2

    Match progress to the latest schedule

    Note slips by stage, not only overall %.

  3. 3

    Check reinforcement before casting

    Cover, spacing, and chair supports if a slab/beam pour is due.

  4. 4

    Look at shuttering and alignment

    Plumb walls, level formwork, clean joints.

  5. 5

    Inspect curing practice

    Fresh concrete needs continuous curing — dry patches are a red flag.

  6. 6

    Review material storage

    Cement off the ground, steel covered, sand free of debris.

  7. 7

    Ask for delivery challans

    Spot-check quantities against the BOQ.

  8. 8

    Photograph critical details

    Waterproofing layers, MEP chases, concealed work.

  9. 9

    Note open RFIs / pending decisions

    Owner delays become contractor claims later.

  10. 10

    Confirm next week’s manpower plan

    Skilled trades booked or idle?

  11. 11

    Leave written observations

    WhatsApp summary with photos + named owners for each action.
