Mobilization refers to the initial stage of a construction project where preparations occur onsite prior to the commencement of any work. At this point in a project, the contractor has been selected and building plans have typically been approved by the governing municipality.
For most residential construction projects, the following tasks may be associated with the site mobilization stage of a project (Requirements differ between municipalities):
Tree protection fence installation
Silt fence installation
Site safety fence installation
Site toilet
Delivery of machinery
Dumpster Delivery
Map out location for future soil stockpile onsite
Display all required work permits on site as per municipal requirements
Below are pictures recently taken of our Lease House project in Lakeway.
Site clearing typically involves the removal of non-protected trees as well as other vegetation and structures such as sheds, decks, carports and other detached structures located on the building lot.
A survey company (or sub-contractor) will visit the site to "stake or pin" out the foundation corners. This temporary structure allows for guide lines (the pink strings in this case) to be laid out.
At this point, the site topography and contours really become evident. At first glance, this specific lot appears to be relatively flat in nature... however, their is nearly 4ft in elevation change from the front - to - back of the house alone.
Temporary power is installed on site to support construction activity.
