Gday this time on Buildsum we're continuing with our site setup or site
establishment and we've been through we've set up our security fence with a
bit of privacy with the silt fencing or the shade cloth along the front we've
got our contact information there we've got our environmental requirements our
driveway fill our silt fence our sausages out in the street and we've got
a water connection and we've got a portaloo or toilet in place and we've
got some footpath protection there as well
so that's sort of the basics and in this video I'm just going to cover off on
some more things that are really nice to have so the next thing you should think
about is where I'm going to put all your rubbish so you could get a skip in and
just dump everything into the one bin or you don't have to have a skip in you
could just have a pile on the ground okay however that then becomes
problematic when you have to pick that up and take it away later so it's just
probably easier to throw it into a skip in of some sort on one of those big bags
you can get nowadays and the other thing to think about if you take mixed waste
to a tip that's fairly expensive to get rid of so you might want to think about
separating your rubbish on-site and the council's will push this as well so you
may want to have a couple of bins or a couple of different areas set up so that
you can actually throw timber into one concrete into the other etc and that can
can in some circumstances be cheaper to tip as well so don't have to have a skip
in as I said you could have a just an area on the ground normally if you're
not inside you're silt fencing it would require its own silk fencing for that
sort of thing as well and remember you need access to get rid of those bins so
if we had to have a truck come across this footpath we would probably need to
think about our footpaths protection as well
if you crack that footpath during the job then you're gonna have to rectify it
at the end okay so that's a bit of waste then you're gonna need to think about
storage so you could set up a bit of a storage area here you just don't want
your storage area to restrict access to the site so you could have stuff there
and or you could actually store stuff in the on the slab in the garage area as
long as you're going to protect the slab again just make sure you don't have
stuff sitting there for a lot a long time it wants to get delivered and used
within a couple of days so you're not carrying other things over it or past it
okay so a couple of storage areas the next thing that'll be nice to have
but you don't always see again normally on bigger sites would be a site office
slash if you could be storage could be a lunch room but this one's the site
office it's out the front of the site so everyone can see where it is fairly
reasonable access so if there's visitors they go straight to the site office are
three words find the foreman in most cases as I said on a lot of residential
sites not going to see a site office that would just the site office would be
the Foreman's ute or truck basically but on larger sites a site office is a good
thing to have and then the last thing again not essential just a nice to have
would be some sort of lunch shed again it could could double up as a bit of a
storage shed in case there's wet weather it doesn't have to be out in front of
the site as long as you can get it in and out when the building is built you
don't want to have it down there and when you build the house you can't get
it out all right so you'd have to place that if
you do place that where you can actually get it out at the end of the job okay so
on the last thing temporary power now this is a bit of a
some some councils nowadays in Sydney require it although most most
contractors have their own portable generators because there's a lot of
sites that don't have power but your council may require temporary power okay
so you can hire temporary power poles and get them put in the only issue with
that is that there's a connection fee and obviously a disconnection fee so
what what a few builders do is they'll actually try and position that that
meter box where it's actually going to be in the building and temporarily prop
it there and then they can connect it up once and then it's connected for the
entire job and they pass it over to the owners when the house was built so
temporary power is something else that you may need to think about depending on
what your council needs or what your council requires so there you go there
is and now ideal setup for a small residential site as I said site sheds
probably not going to see them they're not a requirement but definitely I would
go with the waste sorting and maybe the temporary power anyway hope that helps
