Construction Site Pre-Planner

by Dion Apa, from the Community

This Construction Site Pre-Planner helps builders and site supervisors plan before slab pour. Capture access needs, delivery and storage constraints, driveway timing, and any required retaining walls. Record site conditions including grass cutting, cleaning, tree removal, existing structures, survey pegs, and possible asbestos. Identify existing boundary assets and whether underpinning is needed. Map power hazards, including overhead lines, crane reach clearances, and scaffold proximity, and log required electrical applications and spotters. Check services like water meters and mark existing services. Take comprehensive site photos from roadsides and corners, including footpaths, crossovers, pits, poles, verges, and fences. Complete with date and sign-off.

On Site Inspection (Post DPP)
This On Site Inspection (Post DPP) checklist helps construction teams evaluate site readiness after design and development approvals. Review utilities such as water, power, gas, telecommunications, and septic systems. Assess site access, including overhead powerlines, crane reach, scaffolding clearances, gradients, truck access, and traffic management needs. Check site conditions like boundary pegs, required surveys, retaining walls, existing structures, setbacks, and delivery constraints. Confirm asset protection for crossovers, street trees, footpaths, nature strips, kerbs, pits, and required site photos from multiple angles.

Site Pre-Planner (With or Without Pool)
Use this site pre-planner to assess a property before construction begins. Document site identification and photos, check boundary markers, fencing, kerbs and footpaths, and identify trees or debris. Verify availability and condition of utilities and services including power (overhead or underground), communications pits, water meter, gas, stormwater, and sewer, and confirm falls and connection points. Plan access, deliveries, parking, storage, toilets, skip bins, traffic control, and temporary builders power. Record requirements for retaining walls, barrier mesh, scaffolding protection, and site security. Includes a dedicated section for pool timing, fencing removals, conductive materials within 1200 mm, and earthing needs.

Pre-Site Checklist Ver2
Use this pre-site checklist to assess and document construction site readiness before work begins. Review design details and utilities on plan, confirm electricity and water locations, assess site fall and driveway obstructions, and verify survey pegs. Check access, temporary fencing, grass slashing and rubbish removal needs, retaining walls and immediate backfill. Record conditions and council asset damage, crossovers, and adjoining property fencing and status. Capture services (power, water, sewer, stormwater, telecom, gas) and other concerns. Include site plan photos and complete a fire ant inspection.

Pre Site Inspection Checklist
Use this pre site inspection checklist to verify site readiness before construction begins. Assess vegetation and soil conditions, remove rubbish and debris, and note any tree works. Record the condition of boundary and other fencing, and check for damage to roads, kerbs, and footpaths. Identify needs for retaining walls or drop edge beams, import or export of fill, and the presence of rock. Capture OH&S considerations including tight access, steep terrain, crane hire, parking permits, overhead power lines, delivery hazards, and required no‑go zones. Confirm sewer impacts, need for marine grade elements, water on site, and power pit installation. Determine if scaffold shadecloth and a Tree Protection Zone are required. Validate survey and services details such as TBM location, sewer capping, and boundary pegs before sign‑off.
