Description
Before construction can commence, the site must be properly prepared, established, and provided with the essential temporary services required to support construction activities. Careful planning during this stage promotes a safe and efficient working environment, ensures statutory compliance, and minimises delays once construction begins.
This chapter introduces the activities that take place immediately before the main construction works commence, including site clearance, site establishment, and the provision of temporary municipal services. These early-stage activities form the foundation for an organised construction site and contribute significantly to the efficient management and successful execution of the project.
