- Watch critical work closely while it is being performed to prevent costly mistakes and delays.
- Coordinate required testing and inspections; immediately communicate failed tests and confirm rework and passing retests.

- Track Corco-purchased or owner-supplied materials, deliveries, usage, security, and discrepancies in Procore.

- Subcontractors understand expectations, are coordinated weekly, and are held accountable to the schedule.
