Location and Site Selection

The first arid most important part of the decision regarding a building project is about its location. With increasing demand for land for a variety of developmental activities, locations which would be ideal for different types of buildings, are becoming scarce. The criteria for the selection of a suitable location are becoming more and more complex, due to developmental control rules imposed by National, State and Local governments.

Climatic considerations are equally important not only for functional efficiency, but also because of the adverse impact of large scale building constructions on the environment. In addition to the local topographic considerations, the engineer will have to consider the above mentioned aspects at the very initial stages of a building project. Such a detailed study is bound to help the engineer to choose an economical and appropriate location in order to avoid costly rectification expenditure at a later stage.

In these discussions, the term location is used with respect to a relatively large area, such as a district, taluk or town. The term site will refer to the specific land, within such a location. where a building or a project will be constructed.
