SITE SETOUT

Function

  • This is the act of transferring the building setting from the drawing to the ground.
  • Having broadly located positions of the stores, access roads, hoarding etc., the actual position of the building is then physically mapped on the ground.
  • Setting out is an important plan of planning as it will determine that the building fits in the plot and relates properly to plot boundary, access road, services such as sewers, electrical lines, municipal roads etc.

Potential problems

1) Cases have happened especially on greenfield sites where a building is positioned outside plot boundaries. Or the building placed too close to fences, boundary walls or above sewers.
Also, cases have been witnessed where the actual dimensions of the building are wrong resulting in a bigger or smaller building in comparison to the one planned
