The condition report contains information on the following:

Access

  • Determine site access for entry and exit of delivery trucks. Ensure there is adequate room for trucks to stop and use lifting equipment such as forklifts from the side of the road onto the site.
  • Check access for cranes on-site, taking into account their height and length and requirements for setting up space.
  • Check if excavation works need to be undertaken to enable access for machinery. If this is the case, barriers may be required for additional protection of footpaths against water, mud and soil.

Traffic

  • Check if traffic control is required, especially if large pieces of equipment such as cranes are required.
  • Check there is adequate control over vehicles entering and leaving the site. Is there enough room to allow for their turning circles?
  • Check provision of parking for workers adjacent to the site, in on-site parking or via parking controls in the street (this is often a problem with neighbours).

Entrance

  • Inspect existing kerb-n-channel and record any damage along the full length of the frontage.
  • Inspect the nature strip and record any damage along the full length of the frontage.
  • Check if protection is required for existing kerb-n-channel, nature strip, crossover and footpath.

In addition

  • Review the types of facilities you will need on-site, such as toilets, lunchroom.
  • Review temporary requirements such as power, 24-hour security and security fencing.
  • Check if 'tiger strips' are needed on the overhead powerlines immediately in front of the site. These will be needed if the lines are likely to be in the way of large equipment coming on-site.
