Four field planning questions often come up between choosing a use for the land and releasing a contractor to work. Use the note that matches your next conversation with a surveyor, buyer, clearing contractor or builder.

Which note should you start with?
If the boundary or a buried service is uncertain, start with the survey or private-line article before marking trees for removal. If you are preparing a property for buyers, start with the showing route and decide how little needs to be opened for an inspection. If the work is already under way, use the walkthrough article to agree on photographs and exceptions before the crew leaves.
