We’ve used an extensive preconstruction checklist for awhile now, and it’s helped us time and again. The list is part of the handoff from Sales to Production, and we require that all decision-makers on the project be present and sign the document. 
Before going over the checklist, we walk the job and discuss the scope of work. We then explain each item, so the clients can understand that this is for their protection as well as ours.
Here is a look at our checklist, with a more detailed explanation of various elements.
