Site Construction Procedure
This site construction procedure outlines the steps typically followed for the development of a
construction site, from initial preparation to the completion of the structure. The procedure is
broken down into phases, with each phase containing specific activities. This is a general guide, and
it can be customized based on the project types and site conditions.
1. Pre-Construction Phase
1.1 Site Survey and Evaluation
Conduct a topographical survey to gather information on the site’s elevation, soil type, and
existing features.
Perform a geotechnical investigation (soil test) to determine soil stability, bearing capacity,
and other factors affecting construction.
Review the site plan and evaluate the surrounding area (roads, utilities, drainage,
environmental constraints).
1.2 Obtain Necessary Permits and Approvals
Apply for all necessary permits (building permits, environmental clearances, zoning
approvals, etc.).
Ensure compliance with local regulations, including health, safety, and environmental
protection standards.
1.3 Site Mobilization
Set up the construction office and storage areas for materials, equipment, and tools.
Arrange for utility connections (water, electricity, phone, internet) to support the
construction activities.
Establish access roads, temporary fencing, and signage for safety and security.
2. Site Preparation
2.1 Clearing and Grading
Clear the site of vegetation, debris, and any obstacles (e.g., old structures or trees).
Conduct initial grading to level the site and remove any topsoil or vegetation that may
interfere with construction.
Prepare the foundation area by excavating and leveling the ground based on the design
specifications.
2.2 Site Drainage and Erosion Control

Install temporary erosion control measures (e.g., silt fences, sediment traps, and diversion
ditches) to manage water runoff during construction.
Ensure proper drainage to prevent flooding and water pooling on-site.
2.3 Setting Out and Marking
Transfer design coordinates onto the site using stakes, batter boards, and surveyor’s tape to
mark building corners, boundaries, and critical infrastructure locations.
Verify the alignment and levels with the surveyor to ensure proper construction orientation.
3. Foundation Work
3.1 Excavation for Foundation
Excavate trenches or pits for the foundation (footings, slabs, basements, etc.) as per the
structural drawings.
Remove loose soil and debris, and ensure the excavation depth and width align with the
foundation plan.
3.2 Foundation Formwork and Reinforcement
Build formwork (temporary molds) for pouring concrete for footings, columns, or slabs.
Install rebar (steel reinforcement) in compliance with the design, ensuring correct
positioning and coverage.
3.3 Pouring Concrete
Pour concrete into the prepared forms, ensuring proper consolidation and leveling.
Allow for adequate curing time (usually 7 to 28 days depending on concrete mix).
4. Superstructure Construction
4.1 Erection of Structural Framework
Construct the primary structure (steel, reinforced concrete, or timber) based on the design
plan.
Install columns, beams, and slabs for the skeleton of the building.
4.2 Wall Construction
Build internal and external walls using the specified materials (masonry, concrete blocks,
panels, etc.).
Ensure proper alignment and level of walls, and ensure that openings for doors and windows
are in the correct positions.
4.3 Roofing and Decking

Install the roof framing, trusses, and decking materials.
Apply waterproofing or roofing membranes, followed by the final roofing materials (tiles,
shingles, metal panels, etc.).
5. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Installation
5.1 Plumbing
Install the plumbing system, including water supply pipes, sewage drains, and stormwater
management systems.
Perform pressure testing and ensure all connections are sealed and secure.
5.2 Electrical
Lay out electrical conduits, wiring, outlets, and lighting fixtures.
Connect the building to the local power grid and test the electrical system for functionality.
5.3 HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning)
Install HVAC systems according to design plans (ductwork, piping, air handling units, etc.).
Test system operations and calibrate for efficiency.
6. Finishing Work
6.1 Internal Finishes
Install drywall, insulation, and ceiling tiles (if applicable).
Apply paints, finishes, and flooring materials (carpet, tile, hardwood, etc.).
Install cabinetry, countertops, and other interior furnishings.
6.2 External Finishes
Apply external cladding (brick, stone, stucco, etc.) or paint to the building’s facade.
Install windows and doors.
6.3 Final Inspection and Testing
Perform a thorough inspection of the entire building for compliance with design and safety
standards.
Test all systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to ensure they are working correctly.
7. Site Cleanup and Handover

Remove all construction debris, tools, and materials from the site.
Perform a final cleaning of the building, ensuring it is ready for occupancy.
7.2 Landscaping and External Works
Complete any landscaping, including planting trees, shrubs, and grass.
Install external lighting, signage, or additional features as per the design.
Complete any paving, parking lots, or access roads required for the site.
7.3 Handover to Client
Provide the client with necessary documents, including warranties, user manuals for
systems, and any as-built drawings.
Conduct a final walk-through with the client, address any remaining concerns, and officially
hand over the project.
