Before work can begin on a construction site, whether a big or small project, there are several services that must be temporarily set up. This is in addition to the site facilities that are required for the welfare of workers.

The consideration of temporary site services should be part of the site layout plans. These are prepared by contractors as part of their mobilisation activities before work on site commences. See Site layout plan for more information.

These services include:

A constant and reliable electricity supply is a necessity for a fully-functional construction site. Fitness for purpose and safety must be ensured by fully testing and certifying the electricity installations. Site offices and welfare units are likely to require a high concentration of electricity supply, but other, perhaps more isolated areas of a site will also need supplying.

Construction sites require water distribution and drainage that comply with health and safety regulations. The CDM Regulations stipulate that sanitary conveniences, washing facilities and drinking water must be provided on a site.

In order that construction work can continue effectively and safely in periods of insufficient natural light, it is important that a site is fitting with suitable artificial lighting. Lighting can be used internally for general movement and working on the site itself, externally for illuminating entry, storage and circulation areas, and can also be an effective form of deterrent for trespassers. Depending on the requirements of the site, an appropriate lighting plan will be drawn up.

For more information, see Lighting of construction sites.

If the site is big enough to require site offices, there will need to be the provision of an internet connection, WiFi, a local area network, and so on.

Construction sites can use perimeter security for safety purposes, and to prevent damage, theft or vandalism. Methods can include electric fences, buried cable detection systems, alarms, closed-loop systems, CCTV, microwave, infrared or radar sensors.
