How do you convert land into a construction site?

When a construction company has found a lot that it wants to build on, there are steps it should take, once it has acquired it, in order to get it ready to be built upon. Here they are, in order of priorities.

Build Your Team a Camp they can work from

The very first thing to do, to start getting the land ready, is to build a camp on the ground, so that your team can work directly there. Today, the best solution to get it up and then take it down easily and rapidly, is by choosing Containers Solutions. They come in packs, pre-fabricated. All the workers have to do, is to build it up, just like an Ikea product. It takes no time, and it can be ready for all types of additions, including water, gas, and even air conditioning. When you are ready to move to a new construction site, you take it down, before rebuilding again, on your next land plot. It’s not only economical; it’s also ecological! So, please keep it in mind on your next construction project.

Start evaluating the Land and Testing the Soil

Of course, there are things you need to know about the land before buying it, which should have already been taking care of, at this point of the process. But afterwards, you should still make additional tests, to see if you need to build differently or to treat the land before starting the construction. This study should include the calculation of size, orientation and slope degree of the site. It will give you a better idea of the orientation that you should give to the buildings.

After that, look into the climate and microclimate. How does the wind hit the property you plan to build? Should you think about installing solar energy panels, and what would be the best location for them? Then, think about summer, and how hot it will get, so you can adapt the cooling system accordingly to the needs of the future owners or renters.

Demolish or support what you keep

All construction sites don’t come empty. Some of them still have buildings on them. Before you go and destroy them all, you should study the possibility of keeping some of it intact, if it possesses any historical value, or if it can help you sell or rent the new apartments or houses. In so doing, you may find yourself keeping only a façade or a few walls. If so, then you will need to make sure that you create a sufficient support for them, to stay up and in perfect state.
