| Abstract | Most construction problems rely on knowledge regarding site layout that can be, as a site space allocation for material storage, working areas, units of accommodation, plant positions, general circulation areas, andaccess and egress for deliveries and emergency services.Construction Site Layout has consequences for project safety, construction productivity, scheduling, and profitable execution of a project. Construction site layout involves: identifying the temporary facilities needed to support construction operations, determining their size and shape, and optimally positioning them in the unoccupied areaswithin the site boundaries.A significant feature not recognized in the previous study applications are the existing implementation for site layout plan creation presently utilized by construction company. Site layout mainly impact on the productivity, cost reduction, unsafe site operations, project efficiency. Idealizing of construction worth, safety, and productivityof a project frequently depends upon the optimal planning of the construction site layout. Site Layout mainlyincludes recognizing, sizing, and placing of temporary facilities on-site, and has therefore prominent effect on the safety and productivity of construction process. Even though the current site layout prototypes are able of idealizing transportation costs of the materials on site, but they do not much concentrate on safety. So, construction expert should be able plan verify and find the ideal positions of overall temporary facilities on-site to reduce travel periods for labor, material and equipment on-site, minimize the construction costs, material handling, promoting construction safety and quality. The result is summarized that most Indian construction projects are successful on quality objective, but are not successful on time and cost objective. The most problems regarding site layout are from accessibility, transportation, temporary facilities, site amenities, equipment flow, safety along withall the corresponding aspects. |
