It consists of the adaptation of the construction environment to the minimum needs for habitability and work

In this sense, the installation of works is carried out by building temporary environments of different use according to the needs of the construction.

• The most commons are:
• Deposit
• Porter or Caregiver Room
• Bath
• Environment or cover for tools and clothes of Workers
• Perimeter fence

Finishing and improvisation of environments

Most of the time while excavating the land and building the first floor slabs, the environments mentioned above will be highly improvised.

Even at the time of demolishing the old environments prior to the excavation, materials are recovered that can be used to build the environments of the worksite.

When environments are built for the installation of tasks, it is normal to build them on the internal perimeter of the land, since this sector often does not harm the construction of the building.

Bath position

The bathroom is usually accommodated as close as possible to the old chambers of the land, corresponding to the old house or demolished property. This is done to prevent sanitary pipes running through construction and disrupting regular work.

Electrical installations

Electrical installations in the field are usually the elements relegated to the last place in importance, however, it is one of the main inputs in construction.

The cables derived from the electric power meter usually do not have the necessary insulation, or they tend to be routed on the floor and without the necessary support.

A recommended way to have this issue available is through a board like the one shown:

Cost

The Faenas installation could be one of the most difficult items to calculate since it varies according to the type of finish that you want to give it.

The environments can be in the exposed brick partition or in contrast, be huts armed with wood, paint, and all the necessary comforts of an office.

It all depends on the budget you have, the size of the work, and even the factor of how close the offices and logistics area is to the land.

One way of budgeting direct costs for the installation of works could consist of estimating two workers working full time for a week, and adding the amount of material to be used for that purpose.
