    Site selection for buildings is an important process that should be conducted carefully by experienced engineers. It involves considering physical, health, community, transportation, and economic factors. Key factors in site selection include being in a developed or developable area; having good transportation access; and suitable soil, groundwater, and foundation conditions.

    Site Selection

    Selection of site for any building is very important


    and experts job and should be done very carefully by
    an experienced engineer
    Site selection involves consideration in five heads
    1.Physical Considerations 2. health consideration
    3. Community facilities 4. Transportation facilities
    5. Economy
    Following are some of the important factors which
    should be considered while selecting site
    • The site should be in fully developed area or in the area which
    has potential of development.

    • The site should command a good view of landscape such a


    hill, river, lake, etc.

    • There should be good transport facilities such as railway, bus


    service, for going to office, college, market, etc.

    • Civic services such as water supply, drainage sewers, electric


    lines, telephone lines, etc. should be very near to the selected
    site so as to obtain their services with no extra cost.
    • Soil at site should not be of made up type as far as possible. The
    buildings constructed over such soils normally undergo
    differential settlement and sometimes become the cause of
    collapse. Cracks in buildings in such conditions, are quite
    common

    • The selected site should be large enough; both to ensure the


    building abundant light and air to prevent any over dominance
    by the neighboring buildings.

    • The ground water table at the site should not be very high.

    • Nearness of schools, hospitals, market, etc. are considered good


    for residential site but these facilities do not carry any
    significance in the selection site for other public buildings.
    • Good foundation soil should be available at responsible depth.
    This aspect saves quite a bit in the cost of the building.
    • Residential house site should be located away from the busy
    commercial roads.

    • Residential site should not be located near workshops,


    factories, because such locations are subjected to continuous
    noise.

    • Orientation of the site also has some bearing on its selection.


    Site should be such in our country that early morning sun and
    late evening sun is accepted in the building in summer and
    maximum sun light is available in most of winter.
    • The ground water table should not be very high

    • Residential house site should be located away from the busy


    commercial roads

    • The shape of plot or site should not be very irregular , instead


    of rectangle if it is slightly irregular, it looks more artistic. But
    if it has too many acute corners and irregular boundaries , its
    area and cost proportionally increase without giving any
    advantage of space.
