Site analysis

Record keeping, as we are aware of, it is the oldest practice or system of disciplined working in any organisation that deals with providing social or professional service and when it comes to a profession of design and construction it is very important to keep proper records of every stage of project as it moves toward completion stage. Of all the stages involved in construction projects the very first and important stage is site analysis. Site analysis begins before any activity of construction could take place on site. Site analysis involves systematise report making of various careful observations and tests done on site of construction to know the present state of site and its surrounding area and at a same time what improvements are need to be applied during the construction works. Another important report included in site analysis is ‘Site Dilapidation Report’. Site dilapidation report gives architect & designer clear idea about the current condition of building structure before any work is undertaken. This enables designer and contractor to make proper cost estimation on the basis of actual work involved in new constructions on site. Also, SDR allows Designers to obtain exact numbers of damaged property on site before construction. This way designer can update his client about the exact condition of given site before the onset of Design project.
