Most construction delays don’t begin with big problems—they begin with small misalignments that snowball. A pre-job walkthrough is the hidden step that catches these issues before they trigger costly rework.
What Is a Pre-Job Walkthrough?
A pre-job walkthrough is a structured, on-site meeting that takes place before field work begins. It involves reviewing site readiness, access conditions, and drawing details in person with all key stakeholders.
Why Walkthroughs Save Time and Money
Skipping this step increases risk:
Crews arrive to find slab conditions aren’t ready
Cranes or lifts aren’t staged correctly
Safety anchors are missing or misaligned
Neighboring trades are in the way
By contrast, a strong walkthrough confirms that all field conditions match plans—and that nothing is left to chance.
What to Include in a Pre-Job Walkthrough
Site access and glass staging locations
Lift or scaffold paths
Coordination with nearby trades
Anchor locations and substrate verification
Discussion of drawing conflicts or pending RFIs
Review of install tolerances and QA checkpoints
This isn’t a formality—it’s a control mechanism that professional contractors use to eliminate guesswork.
