Abstract
The Island of Great Portland in London is situated near the Regents Park between Euston
Square and Baker Street. It is also situated near the metropolitan lines and circle and the great
Hammersmith city. It is listed as a building with great significance nationally which lies in the
Travel card Zone. It serves in great significance such as transport zones and service zones. The
Great Portland station has a great history not only in the UK but also in the world as it forms the
world’s first underground train station or railway networks. It is situated between the present day
Farrington station and the Hammersmith & City line. The station was officially opened in 1863
on 10th January and was named as Portland Road. In 1917, the station was renamed to “Great
Portland Regents and Streets Park”. However, the current station was constructed in 1930 in
Marylebone Road on a traffic island. It was situated at an intersection between Albany Street and
the Great Portland Street. The site constructors focused on businesses and service industry and
has a perimeter providing areas of shopping, car showrooms and office spaces. In 1987, the
metropolitan Railway was designed by C.W.Clark and listed as grade 2. The neighborhood plan
locally made improvements on traffic and how the railway transport services should operate.
Introduction
The great Portland station is a service zone. The construction of a four story building is to
improve the business in the area is due to the number of people in the area due to underground
railway services provided. The services industry is booming and the plan of the building is
structured such that it will have a lot of shops, showrooms and recreational & entertainment
facilities. The two uses of the building is enterprise and as transport facility where people can get

into the railway and other modes of transport (Dogan, 2016). The organization of construction
(objects, groups of objects) is understood as a system of preparatory and technological measures
carried out for the organization of work on the construction of enterprises, buildings and
structures by industrial flow methods. Preparatory activities create conditions for the smooth
deployment of work on the construction site. Technological measures organize the general
technological procedure of building production, contribute to the efficient use of construction
equipment. The main goal of the organization of construction is to ensure the high-quality
construction of facilities in Great Portland station with the least labor and funds, and to organize
their timely commissioning in accordance with the directive term of construction (Duffy, and
Hynes, 2016). Temporary buildings and structures refer to technological and social facilities that
are necessary for construction and installation organizations for the period of construction of an
enterprise or individual buildings and structures.
Use of Proposed Development
A four story’s building will be constructed specifically for business and for transport
facilities. The ground floor will have showrooms for motor vehicles and other businesses such as
retail shops and restaurants. The second floor of the building will have large space for gym and
fitness centers, hotels and banking halls. The third floor will have conference facilities and
entertainment joints due to the massive area of the building. The fourth floor will be left for
exhibitions and art galleries. Therefore, the two main uses of the proposed project include
1. Services
2. Transport.

The cost of building temporary buildings and structures, along with the cost of building
temporary roads (road and rail) are the main costs of building a construction site. These costs are
very high and in certain types of construction (hydropower plants, nuclear power plants, linear
structures) reach a significant amount, sometimes up to 15% of the value of the facility, so their
reduction significantly affects the cost of construction (Duncan, and Christensen, 2017).
Types of temporary buildings to destination
Temporary buildings by appointment are divided into production, storage, administrative,
sanitary and public. Industrial buildings include various types of industrial workshops
(mechanical repair, reinforcement, formwork, pre-assembly of pipeline units and equipment,
plumbing and ventilation blanks, etc.), concrete mortar units, asphalt concrete installations,
energy facilities (boiler houses, boiler houses, transformer units). Substations, etc.), objects for
construction vehicles and mechanisms (garages, warm parking, dispensaries).
Objects of warehousing include warehouses of materials and equipment (warm and cold),
sheds, storerooms, tinting, rooms for cutting glass and wallpaper, and so on (Jackson, and Wilde,
2019). Administrative facilities are various construction management offices, offices of the site
manager, a foreman, control rooms, walk-throughs. Sanitary facilities include cabins, dryers,
showers, health centers, canteens, buffets, toilets. Residential and public buildings include
dormitories, shops, bathhouses, lounges, clubs, sports facilities and other social facilities of
temporary construction camps.
Temporary buildings and structures according to the methods of construction, the
conditions of their operation, and most importantly, the constructive solutions can be non-
inventory (disposable) and inventory (reusable). The construction of non-inventory buildings,
