A new site has a natural order of operations. Get it wrong and you have a generator sitting outside an unsecured perimeter, or an office trailer with no power to it. Get it right and each service lands on a site that is ready for it.

Day 1–2: perimeter and access

Secure the site before anything of value is on it. Temporary fencing defines the boundary, keeps the public out, and establishes where vehicles and pedestrians enter. Set your gates where deliveries and service trucks can actually reach — the pump truck, the roll-off hauler, and the generator all need a clear path later.

  • Walk the perimeter and mark the fence line, gates, and any sight-line or dust-screen needs.
  • Confirm the delivery path for large trucks — overhead clearance, turning room, and ground conditions.
  • Decide pedestrian vs. vehicle access points before the fence goes up, not after.

Day 2–3: sanitation and power

With the perimeter set, bring in the services the crew needs to actually work. Portable sanitation is required from the first day crews are on site, and temporary power feeds tools, lighting, and the office trailer that comes next. Place restrooms where the service truck can reach them on a weekly schedule, and plan power distribution before the generator arrives.

Day 3–4: offices, storage, and staging

Now the site can support a workspace. A site trailer or office needs power run to it and a stable, accessible spot inside the fence. Storage containers and material handling follow the same logic — secure, reachable, and out of the path of daily traffic.

Day 4–5: waste and the running site

Demolition and cleanup generate debris immediately, so dumpster services round out the setup. Size the container to the debris type and plan for swap-outs so work never stops waiting on a haul. By the end of week one the site is secured, powered, staffed, and clearing debris — ready for the build.

Setting all of this up through one request keeps the sequence coordinated instead of chasing five separate vendors and five separate delivery windows. That is the whole idea behind a single Project Mobilization request.

Common questions

What should go up first on a new site?

Temporary fencing and access points. Securing the perimeter protects everything that arrives after it and sets where service trucks can reach, which affects where you place restrooms, power, and dumpsters.

Can all of this be arranged at once?

Yes. One Project Mobilization request can cover fencing, sanitation, power, a site office, and dumpsters together, and SITE PRO coordinates the delivery windows so the setup happens in the right order.

Keeping a jobsite secure after hours

Theft and trespassing on idle sites are a real cost. A layered after-hours approach: perimeter fencing, controlled access, lighting, and storage.

Ready to mobilize your site?

Tell SITE PRO what your project needs — sanitation, fencing, dumpsters, a site office, power. One request, one point of contact, and rough numbers are fine to start.
