Site Constraints Review
On-Site Buildability Assessment
Why This Review Exists
This review identifies physical construction risk before documentation begins.
Scope of Assessment
On-site assessment includes:
-
Slope and cut/fill implications
Retaining risk indicators
Access logistics (vehicles, delivery points, turning, steep driveways)
Construction staging constraints
Neighbour and boundary constraints
Existing vegetation / protected areas (where relevant)
Basic services entry constraints (power, water, sewer, stormwater)
-
Stormwater discharge direction
Surface flow observation
Soil risk indicators (visual only)
Moisture exposure zones
-
Orientation analysis
Solar access assessment
Passive design commentary
Envelope optimisation flags
Decision Gate
This stage answers:
Can this be physically built without hidden escalation?
What physical constraints influence cost?
Does site condition alter scope or budget?
Documentation should not proceed on complex sites without this clarity.
Method
On-site inspection.
Photographic documentation.
Physical constraint mapping.
Deliverables
Deliverables:
Written site intelligence summary
Physical risk register
Build complexity notes
Performance commentary (if selected)
Recommendation for scope adjustment (if required)
