| The table below expands upon the bullets above and provides helpful guidance on communication topics at the pre-construction meeting. Given the lead-up time needed for testing requirements of specified materials, these discussions should occur soon after the contract is awarded, ideally 2 months prior to project construction. | | The table below expands upon the bullets above and provides helpful guidance on communication topics at the pre-construction meeting.
