Planning and organising construction sites

Site planning has been one of the most neglected aspects in the construction industry, with decisions being made as problems arise during execution. As a result, construction sites often fall short in terms of organisation and safety, creating a negative image for companies in the market and a distance from clients. Considering the need for construction site planning to follow structured procedures, this paper presents an explanation of the parameters considered when drawing up a construction site project and their importance for the course of the work; a construction site in the city of Natal/RN was analysed, seeking to assess the current situation of the site and how it would be if it had been built considering all the parameters that will be studied, in order to enable men and machines to work safely and efficiently, mainly by minimising the movement of materials, components and labour.
