## How the result is determined

The assessment asks nine questions. An immediate hazard takes priority over every other answer and points you toward appropriate emergency or utility help. An out-of-scope project is directed to the relevant trade. Other missing or uncertain answers identify planning gaps.

A complete set of planning answers means you have useful information for a scope discussion. It does not certify that a site is safe, approve a design, replace a utility locate or authorize excavation. Conditions still require review by the responsible qualified people.

## Use existing information

Answer from drawings, records and information you already have. Never enter an excavation, touch a suspected utility, approach an unstable edge or disturb soil to answer a question. Stop and seek appropriate help if the situation is dangerous.

The excavation planning guide explains how owners, designers, contractors and the next trade can divide responsibilities. Use the access measurement guide to organize ordinary route information without moving equipment or changing the property.

## What to prepare next

Useful material includes the proposed footprint, work limits, available plans, the next trade’s acceptance requirements and the intended destination for excavated soil. Unknown details are normal at the first discussion; identifying them is the point of this tool.

Keep permits, utility coordination, testing and final acceptance as named responsibilities. The assessment is local to your browser and does not send your answers to the company.
