What similar work have you actually managed?
Ask for the type of property, the contractor’s role, and the responsibilities they carried. A useful case explains who organized timing, material requirements, work in the field, and the closeout.
Who will coordinate with the local manager?
Identify who agrees working hours, discusses access, and communicates decisions. For several locations, ask what information stays consistent and what must be reviewed locally.
What is included in preparation?
Ask which surfaces and repairs are included, what conditions need further review, and which coating requirements the estimate assumes. Preparation belongs in the scope you compare.
How will we know the work is complete?
Agree who reviews the result, how any remaining items are identified, and who receives the completion communication. These details help the project team understand the handoff.
Can we start with a defined location?
A first location can help both teams evaluate coordination and finish expectations. Discuss the actual scope and the requirements that would carry through later work.
