Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to:
- Define the items needed in a site utilization plan.
- Understand the core concepts for designing the site utilization plan for various stages of a project.
- Develop and draw a site utilization plan for a project.
Introduction
A site utilization plan documents the designed status of a project at a point in time. Site Utilization Plans are critical to defining the layout of a project site as it progresses through the construction process. The site is continuously changing. Therefore, there is no one representation that represents the progression of the site throughout the construction process. But, instead, it is critical to have at least several site utilization plans to define the progress of the site, for example, a site utilization plan for the excavation phase, superstructure phase, enclosure phase, and finishes phase.
The following checklist provides typical items that should be in a Site Utilization Plan. Figure 10-1 shows a quality example of a site plan for a school project.
