are the associated expenses

or costs that contractors
incur in the completion of a
project. This may be the cost
of a site office, hoarding,
or heating the site office
etc.

Preliminaries in Construction
Mobilization
Mobilization consists of preparatory work
and operations necessary for the movement of
personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to
the project site; for the establishment of
offices, buildings, and other facilities necessary
for the work; for premiums on bond and insurance
for the work; and for other operations performed
or costs incurred before the beginning of work.
Construction mobilization, in a broad sense,
refers to those processes and tasks that are
undertaken once the contract has been awarded,
before the actual ground work begins.

The construction tools, equipment, materials
and supplies needed in site mobilization necessary
to facilitate the timely execution of work depends
upon the type of the project to be construct.


















Temporary FACILITIES
Provide temporary utilities and construction
facilities in order to execute work expeditiously.
Remove from site all such work after use.
Here are some examples of temporary facilities
use in constructions:
1. Sanitary Facilities- for work force in
accordance with governing regulations.
2. Temporary Power and Light- to be used for
lighting and operating power tools during
construction work.
3. Construction Parking- provide parking on site
to the extent that it does not disrupt
performance of work.
4. Site Offices- for the own use
of engineer or engineers
representative.
5. Equipment Tools and Material
Storage- provide a clean and
in order condition a lockable
weatherproof shield for
storage of tools, equipment
and materials.
6. Temporary Traffic Control-
barricade, haul roads,
fencing.
7. Temporary Signage- bulletin
board, project and safety
signs.

LINE AND GRADE
In support of construction activities, the
surveyor obtains the reconnaissance and
preliminary data which are necessary at the
planning stage. Typical duties of the construction
surveyor include
Determining distances, areas, and angles.
Establishing reference points for both
horizontal and vertical control.
Setting stakes or otherwise marking lines,
grades, and principal points.
Determining profiles of the ground along
given lines (centerlines and/or cross-
section lines) to provide data for cuts,
fills, and earthwork volumes.
Preparing large-scale topographic maps using
plane table or transit-stadia data to
Laying out structures, culverts, and bridge
lines.
Surveyors use such equipment and tools for
surveying like theodolite, markings, tape measure,
plumb bob etc.










Permits and license
A construction permit or building permit is
a permit required in most jurisdictions for
new construction, or adding onto pre-
existing structures, and in some cases for
major renovations.
Permits are issued to property owners,
contractors, leasure, architects or engineers.
Failure to obtain a permit can result in
significant fines and penalties, and
even demolition of unauthorized construction if it
cannot be made to meet code.
Here are some procedures and cost in dealing
building permits and license.
