Build Planning Checklist

Turn a plan direction into a clear site, routine, weather and local-review brief before you commit to materials.

Your review record / saved on this device

Keep observations and unknowns together.

“Observed” means you noted something, not that it passed a safety check. “Resolved” means a planning question was answered: record who answered, when, and under which conditions.

5 unknown · 0 need local review. This is not a construction-readiness score.

Planning observations and decisions

Start with your situation

No Plan selected — general / existing-site record

General questions are useful even without choosing a new direction. Select one below when you want design-specific prompts.

Change / clear my direction ↓

Flock and outdoor access

How many birds, what breed, and when can they use outdoor space? Include periods of confinement.

Site, drainage and rules

Record measurements, rain observations and rules still to confirm. A yard-size label is not a measurement.

Daily care and access

Walk the route for feed, water, eggs and bedding removal. Where does access conflict?

Weather and protection

Record wind, snow, heat, openings and local predators. Who will review the proposed protection and structure?

Scope and local review

What needs pricing or a builder, engineer, electrician or local-authority answer? Record the source/date of any answer.
