direction.
5.1.3. Decide the plan for unloading and material storage. Choose a firm and dry location.
Materials shall be stored in designated areas for each building and clearly identified
for their location in that area. Make sure that materials supply and storage schedule
is appropriate and not conflict with the installation schedule and other
subcontractors’ schedules.
5.1.4. Register the available power & water supply source locations at the site. Make sure
there is a safe method to lead the supply to the working area.

5.2. Receiving Material at Site
