guards should be appointed in day and nightshifts. The watchman should be strong, well built and should always be in a presentable
uniform, cap, shoes, belt etc. Every watchman should possess a whistle and a guard-stick. A daily watchman's report should be
prepared on printed forms. The watchman should be able to check the entry and exit of materials, labour force, visitors etc.
Accordingly he should maintain the necessary registers. Night guards should carry a torch. The battery cells required will be provided
by the site office. A charge report will be recorded on the charge giving register everyday, where all the guards and the store keeper
should sign while taking charge of material on site and locking stores/godowns at the end of the day's work. The guards should be
alert to the possibility of thefts of materials from the site and should report any incident, malpractices, labour problems etc. to the
project head in writing. One watchman should always remain present in the watchman's cabin. This cabin will be located at the main
entrance gate. If there is no gate for a certain project, thenan entrance guard bar with the 'STOP*indication should be provided.
Besides this watchman, the other watchman should make rounds on site and keep a watchon the site material.

DISCIPLINARY RULES FOR THE SITE STAFF

all site staff should attend duties at least fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled working time. Each supervisor/engineer should carry a
pocket calculator and a measurement tape during the working hours-all work distribution will be decided by the project head Every
employee should maintain an individual work record notebook which will show the quantum of work assigned, as well as the actual

will be built up to ensure a smooth flow of the working and planning of the next week’s task-If the work load increases, then according
to the instructions issued by project head supervisor/engineer will have to report-Site staff should attend seminar, site visits and other
activities as per the decision of the management.
 HOW TO KEEP THE SITE OFFICE
During the initial stages of the project, when there are no permanent structures on site, a G.l. sheet shed should be erected at a proper
location. Standard steel trusses to carry roof sheet and vertical M.S. pipe assembly is ideal for this purpose. It is easy to dismantle and
re-erect in minimum time. DURING PROGRESS OF WORK, Once some permanent structure is ready, then a single flat unit or a corner
of the parking area can be converted in to a site office. During the final stages of the work, the site office should be shifted to a location
that can house the society office, after handing over the project to the society. The location could be the top of under ground water tank.
Adjacent to pump room or any other suitable place as per the site conditions and the architectural drawings. REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SITE OFFICE-For the site in charge one table plus two chairs for visitors-For the engineer: one table and one chair each, all tables
should be neat and presentable-all cupboards, side storage, etc should have locks in place-all the chairs should be in usable condition-
The cleaning off the site office is a must. Periodical maintenance for table, chairs cupboards etc is very important-all drawers should be
emptied and cleaned once a week. Papers should be put in proper file-a drawing stand of size 0.90 x 0.75 x 1.20 m proves useful for
drawing reference purposes-all drawing should be neatly covered in plastic sheets with wooden holder. All the reference drawings
should carry a stamp of approval. Drinking water should be made available in earthen pots. plastic jugs, or flasks in the site office. The
water should be clean and fresh with clean glasses. Tea mugs (six nos.) should be kept in cupboard. On every site the following display
boards should be put up Size: 2.5 x 1.2m - 2 Nos Size: 1.2 x 1.2m - 2 Nos. These display boards should be of soft ply-board, covered
with a colored cotton cloth and oil painted wooden border. Display boards should be placed in a manner that ensures their visibility
whenever a person enters the site office. The information displayed may be as follows-Project information as per the sales brochures.
Different types of flats with area statement and flat numbers. Highlights of the project. Some information about the completed projects in
the form of photographs, other brochures etc. Site rules as regards the site control by project heads. Necessary technical circulars,
Program schedules of various buildings including bar-charts, material schedules Programs at a glance of R.C.C, mason. plaster,
finishing item. Possession program. Hulking wise extra amenities clutter, Enlarged plan to give better Idea to the client.

 COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS & DRAWINGS FROM
VARIOUS AUTHORITIES
- Whenever a new project commences, the relevant paper documents for land in possession should be
collected from the Head Office.
- The Project Engineer is responsible for the initial development of the project. He should possess sufficient
information about the proposed project. To begin with, he should collect the photostats/Xerox copies of the
following documents for land in question, in order to avoid disputes.

- 7/12 extract copy, Agreement copy between the landlord and builder.
- Demarcation drawing copy from D.L.R.'s(District Land Record) office.
- Copy of the notice given by the legal advisor In local newspapers, about the project.
- Copy of the power of attorney issued by the owner, if any
- Copy of the layout plan showing boundaries of the plot from the concerned Architect.
- Copy of the N.A. Certificate. These documents prove very useful on the site while
commencing the project, to avoid any disputes of land with the adjacent plot holders,
government authorities or even the land owner.

- All the drawings of the proposed project should be at site before starting the work.
- The Architect should give all the drawings, including the layout drawings, well before starting the
project, excepting any revisions in the drawings.
- The site engineer should prepare the list of all the drawings required, from time to time.
- He should collect the drawings from the concerned Consultant/Architect, duly stamped and signed
by the chief engineer or other higher authority, as an approval for working at site.
PREPARATION ON SITE
CLEANING SITE AND LEVELLING: Before starting any work on the site the land should be cleaned unwanted trees should be
cut down.

BOUNDARIES MARKING: Before the commencing of work on site the project engineer should demand for the services.
A small temporary shed using G.I sheets should be erected at a location nearest to the proposed entrance of the project.

DEMARCATION OF THE THEODOLITE SURVEY: Theodolite survey for actual demarcation should be done with reference to the
existing boundaries .

CONTOUR SURVEY: Contour survey means surveying the actual level i.e. ups and downs of the plot. This survey should be done
by Dumpy level. Fix the permanent benchmark with reference to the main road/approach road on existing main drainagè chambers
top. The site engineer has to decide the grid interval at 3-meter, 6 meter as per the plot conditions.
Grid interval depends on the plot conditions i.e. for plain ground, for sloping ground, for steep ground, hilly areas etc.

PLANNING FOR APPROACH ROADS AND TEMPORARY STRUCTURES WATER STORAGE AND OTHER STRUCTURES:
Approach road and Internal roads are very Important for vehicular transport.
The side boundaries of the approach road should be marked with lime powder and guard
stones. The side boundaries of internal roads should be, marked with lime powder or steel rods.
WATER ARRANGEMENT:
Water arrangement is an Important aspect a the construction area.
In case of lack of sufficient water from corporation/other authorities/open well, drilling a bore well is
advisable.
Scarcity or non-availability of water will require approaching the tropical geological area to
find out the maximum ground water table for drilling a bore well.

ELECTRICITY ARRANGEMENT:
Electricity arrangement is another important aspect to a new site.
For this, normally a three-phase meter line is required to operate pumps, polishing machine
etc. and single phase for the provision of temporary streetlights, site offices. Watch man
cabin and general lighting.
 COMPOUND WALL/ FENCING/ SECURITY FENCING: The compound wall should be constructed right at the start with a
view to improving the overall security of the project and other structures like watchman's cabin, store, site offices,
godowns, steel yards etc.
For the construction of the compound wall and the gate, a drawing should be issued by the Architect.
The actual construction of the compound wall begins after approval of this drawing.

GATE: A main gate and two wicket gates should be provided. A single entry point to the project/plot helps avoid theft problems, checks the
outgoing/incoming materials, controls site staff timing restrictions and the visitors/customer entries.
If the main gate is not fixed at least a 'stop and start pole' should be used, to be operated by the watchman.
Once the compound wall and gate is complete, plantation of trees along the fencing should be started.

CHECKING OF THE LAYOUT WITH ACTUAL BOUNDARIES: Before the main building line out begins, the site engineer must confirm the actual
boundaries as per the sanctioned layout plan and check the set back margins simultaneously.
Temporary markings of external buildings corner and other structures like under ground water tank, swimming tank etc. should be marked with steel
rods fixed in. Cement, projected 15cm above ground and painted with white oll paint.
Cross check this marking with set back from actual plot boundaries.
At this stage, all buildings should be properly shown on layout with their set back as per rules. This layout drawing should be approved by the
Architect and confirmed by the Resident Architect.
While checking this layout, mark open spaces and road portion on ground as per the approved layout drawings to ensure that all temporary structures
can be accommodated without causing any hindrances to the future structure.

TEMPORARY WATER STORAGE TANK: Tanks should be located centrally /at a suitable place nearest to all buildings to minimize the length of the
pipe and leakage as well as head losses at the time of curing.
Pipe line network should not disturb the temporary roads.
OTHER STRUCTURES: They include steel yards and miscellaneous godowns.
Steel yard doors should be sufficiently wide for safe arrivals/ departures of trucks. Temporary steel yard should be covered with
G.1. sheets supported by vertical bullies 2.5 m height, around the yard, so that entry of unauthorized persons will be restricted.

CEMENT GODOWNS: Cement godown should be centrally located, near the buildings without obstructing the
proposed permanent structure or the vehicular movement around it.
Flooring of cement godown should be raised to 45 cm above the existing ground level with smooth 1.P.S. floor furnishing.
This temporary structure can be made from G.I. sheets.
It should be 100% water proof with minimum openings and perfect security.
It should have sufficient capacity of storage for minimum 400 to 600 bags.

WATCH TOWER: A large area can be in the range of vision trea the highest point.
Any trespassers can be easily spotted from a higher point.
Larger projects should therefore have a center located watch-tower approximately 15 to 20-I above the ground level.
Flood lights fitted on this tower are advantageous from the security point of vara.
