Whether you’re setting up a construction site, manufacturing facility or a large event, setting up your site for success can be a lengthy and costly undertaking. And as time and money are always top priorities, here are a few tips on how you can save on both during your site setup.

Make a Plan

Create a realistic timeline and budget that aligns with your project’s scope of work and the necessary jobsite setup. This will help with coordinating delivery and setup, and avoid costly rush orders and delays.

Get Your Permits, Early

Permits are the most common reason for project delays. Apply for federal, state and local permits as early as possible. Most local municipalities can help you identify all permits required at all levels. But if for any reason you are unsure, don’t be afraid to contact your nearest state or federal office for help. Most importantly, don’t assume you have everything you need. Get confirmation that all necessary applications have been submitted.

Layout Your Site

Review your site plan and decide where your mobile office, portable storage unit, equipment, materials, restrooms and all other facilities should go. Consider your daily workflow and the whether you will need to host visitors that may not be aware of safety guidelines. Developing a smart, flexible site plan will help to avoid shifting things around once your project is underway.

Choose Reputable Full-service Suppliers

Managing suppliers is a significant portion of the setup process. Working with suppliers that can and will deliver as promised will keep your setup on track and, hopefully, headaches to a minimum.

Selecting suppliers that can fulfill multiple or even all of your project needs will greatly cut down on the constant juggling that comes with project management. Working with fewer suppliers also makes things easier on your sourcing and billing departments.

Equip Your Jobsite With the Essentials

Take inventory of essential jobsite items you have and ones you may need to rent or buy for your project.

Beyond the necessary workspace and storage needed for a jobsite, make a list of everything else your team will need to deliver the project on time and as promised. Consider furniture for offices and breakrooms, shelving for storage units and lighting throughout the site. Putting a list together now of all jobsite Essentials will help keep you stay organized and focused when your project is up and running.

Make Sure Your Team Is Ready To Work

Now that your jobsite is set up, you can focus on making sure your team has all the Essentials to begin work from day one. Explore additional tips to kickstart your project and reach out if you need extra support.
