Site Praparation Checklist

Preparing the site before delivery helps ensure the build progresses smoothly and without unnecessary delays. This guide outlines the key considerations to review before your cabin arrives.

Access and Delivery

Ensure the site can be reached safely and efficiently.
Modular delivery allows access through standard garden gates or tight spaces, but a clear path reduces effort and handling time.

Confirm there is a clear route from delivery point to the build location.

Check for narrow gates, uneven steps, soft ground, or steep gradients.

Trim back hedges or vegetation if access is restricted.

Decide where materials will be staged during the build.

Ground Conditions

Before building, assess the ground where the cabin will sit.
Any adjustments should be completed before the foundation stage.

The ground should be generally level and stable.

Clear vegetation, loose debris, and stored materials.

Check for soft patches, standing water, or excessive slope.

Identify tree roots or buried obstacles that may affect foundation layout.

Utilities and Services (If Applicable)

Even if utilities will be added after the structure is complete, planning early helps avoid rework.
If you plan to connect services now or later, consider:

Electricity route and installation point

Water supply and access to mains (if needed)

Drainage or waste considerations

Heating system space allocation

Storage and Workspace

Make room around the build area.
A tidy site supports a calm, ordered build process.

Allow space for staging panels, tools, and equipment.

Keep pathways clear during installation.

Maintain a dry area for weather-sensitive materials.

Final Pre-Build Check

If everything is in place, you’re well prepared for delivery and assembly.
Before your build begins, confirm:

  • Access route is clear
  • Build area is prepared
  • Foundations can be installed
  • Utilities (if required) are planned
  • Tools and workspace are ready
