Site preparation and enabling works

Site preparation overview

Site preparation gets the site ready for main construction. It typically includes topographical and utility surveys, site clearance, strip and enabling works such as access, temporary drainage and fencing. Getting preparation right reduces risk and keeps the programme on track.

Site preparation overview usually becomes urgent when recurring symptoms begin affecting programme confidence, compliance, or delivery reliability.
