General Considerations ~ before any specific considerations and
decisions can be made regarding site layout a general appreciation
should be obtained by conducting a thorough site investigation at
the pre-tender stage and examining in detail the drawings,
specification and Bill of Quantities to formulate proposals of how
the contract will be carried out if the tender is successful. This will
involve a preliminary assessment of plant, materials and manpower
requirements plotted against the proposed time scale in the form
of a bar chart (see page 34).Access Considerations ~ this must be considered for both on- and
off-site access. Routes to and from the site must be checked as to
the suitability for transporting all the requirements for the
proposed works. Access on site for deliveries and general
circulation must also be carefully considered.Site Layout Considerations
