−	*The client appoints an in-house or outsourced engineering team to witness testing and commissioning and to take over the running of the services as soon as practical completion is certified.
−	*The client may need to appoint additional independent client advisers (such as site inspectors) in particular if the consultant team has been novated or switched to the contractor.
−	*If appointed, the client briefs the site inspectors regarding procedures for inspecting and reporting on work on site as it progresses.

−	*Preparing a site layout plan for construction.
−	*Placing sub-contracts.
−	*Advertising and selecting catering, security and cleaning contracts as well as any direct labour requirements.
−	*Establishing a contract register scheduling: the contracts which have been placed, who signed them and when, what the value of the contract is and where it is stored. This can be crucial information if for example the contractor becomes insolvent.
−	*Establishing an asset register scheduling assets on site and who they belong to. This information may later be incorporated into the building owner's manual.
−	*Establishing all statutory site registers such as; lifting equipment, dangerous and explosive substance storage, scaffolding and accident reports.
−	*Managing specialist design and drawing approval. The contractor may wish to appoint a design co-ordinator to be responsible for this.
−	*Complying with any statutory conditions that must be satisfied prior to construction (such as tree protection, submission of contaminated soil disposal plans, approval of work adjacent to an operating rail track and so on).
−	*Ensuring (in their role as principal contractor) that workers are provided with suitable site induction, training and information to be able to work without undue risk to their health or safety.
−	*Establishing inspection regimes and quality assurance procedures for construction.
−	*Commissioning any further geotechnical survey work required.
−	*If it has not already been done, obtaining statutory utility drawings of all existing and surrounding services including details of any telecoms, wells and hydraulic mains.
−	*Arranging road closures and restrictions, diversions of services and connections necessary for the works to be carried out.
−	*If it has not already been done, obtaining legal documentation describing precisely the site boundary and ownership.
