CONSTRUCTION CONSTRAINT GUIDE

Low headroom: bring construction constraints into the early foundation review.

Restricted working height, access and space can shape plant selection, sequencing, temporary works, safety planning and the feasibility of construction approaches. These constraints must be reviewed alongside the ground model and structural design; a low-headroom description cannot select a foundation method or confirm safe execution.

01

Record the constraint: identify known working-height, access, overhead, excavation and logistics restrictions for the project team.

02

Coordinate early: bring structural, geotechnical, temporary-works, principal-contractor and site-safety considerations together before committing to a route.

03

Plan safely: account for the surrounding construction environment, services, excavations and work interfaces through competent planning.

04

Decision boundary: this page cannot specify equipment, temporary works, method statements, pile geometry, sequence or site-safety controls.
