Abstract
When the scale of a restoration project requires that you work with and through others, you need to develop instructions to guide those who are conducting the work on your behalf. How well you communicate to the project team and stakeholders is by far the most critical element for successful project completion. On many restoration projects, we find that there can be as many as six core team members involved in the planning and design phases, with the possibility of two dozen additional volunteers and tradespeople participating during the implementation phase. Maintaining clear, consistent, and meaningful communications across the large number of project participants and the vast number of activities involved in completing a project is a full-time job.
