Site Logistics Plan
A drawing and plan, developed before or during mobilization, showing exactly how the physical jobsite will be organized during construction, such as crane locations, material staging areas, site access routes, parking, and [[concept-temporary-facilities|temporary facilities]], so the site functions safely and efficiently once work is underway.
Why it matters
A cramped urban site with one delivery gate and nowhere to stage steel is a very different logistics problem than an open suburban lot, and getting it wrong doesn't show up until dozens of trucks and crews are already trying to use the space at once. Planning it on paper first avoids that chaos.
On a real project
A site logistics plan for a tight downtown high-rise project designates a single curb-side loading zone with a strict delivery schedule, since there's no room on-site to stage more than a day's worth of material at a time.
Who this matters most to
A Superintendent develops and enforces the site logistics plan, since they're the one who has to make the actual site work day to day once trades are on-site. A Project Engineer often helps draft the plan and coordinates getting it approved by the owner or local authorities when public space (like a street closure) is involved.
Where this goes wrong
A superintendent doesn't finalize a site logistics plan before mobilization, assuming the crew will "figure it out." Once framing starts, the material delivery trucks and the concrete pump truck end up needing the same access point at the same time, and the resulting standoff burns half a day that a five-minute plan could have prevented.
