Mobilise the site and set up logistics

Get the site ready before work starts: run the mobilisation checklist for hoarding, welfare and utilities, then set the logistics plan for access, deliveries, cranes and laydown.

How it works, step by step

3 steps across the platform - what you do at each one, and why it matters.

1

Run the mobilisation checklist

Site Mobilisation

Work the mobilisation checklist: hoarding and security, welfare and offices, temporary power and water, signage, first aid and the statutory notices, each with an owner and a date.

Why: The item forgotten at mobilisation stops work later - no water for the concrete, no power for the tools. A checklist with owners and dates is what turns a chaotic start into a controlled one.

Track set-up to complete

Site Mobilisation

Track each mobilisation task to done, chasing the long-lead connections and approvals that gate the site opening, until the establishment is genuinely complete.

Why: A utility connection can take weeks of notice. Tracking the set-up as a live list is what surfaces the item that will hold up the start while there is still time to expedite it.

Set the logistics plan

Site Logistics

Set the logistics plan: gates and access routes, delivery windows, crane and hoist positions and reach, laydown and waste areas, mapped against the busy phases of the programme.

Why: Space is the scarcest resource on a tight site. A logistics plan that thinks ahead to the busy weeks is what stops trades fighting over the same crane and the same gate.
