Question 1
A site establishment plan is necessary before the actual construction works begin. The main
purpose of the plan is to ensure that the site is established in an efficient manner. The rapid
establishment of a site will provide a place where the equipment, materials, and plants are safe
from damage and vandalism.
Basically, the site engineer is responsible for the establishment of the site and the outlining of the
boundaries (Barhale, 2015). He/she, therefore, works according to the site establishment plans
and sets out the activities that precede any construction work at the site. The establishment plan
basically functions as a guide to the works that are to be carried out at the site and as a matter of
fact, provides the working blueprint for the site. However, there is the initial survey to be taken
before an establishment plan is drafted. A survey is taken prior to the establishment of the site
and its basic function is to provide insight on the various features and terrain at the site. In this,
the best type is a pre-entry survey and may include photographs and pictures. However, it may
be advisable to have a written record as a supplement to this pre-entry survey (Barhale, 2015)
Thereafter, after the establishment of the plan, there are various precautionary measures that
need to be taken. Therefore, the precautionary measures are put in the establishment plan for the
purpose of providing insight to the site inspector. Some of the precautionary measures include
the detailing of structures that need to be protected, detailing the footpaths that the pedestrians
and other users need to take, a no-go- the land that is adjacent to the site among others.
The site plan provides valuable insight to all the workers at the site. It is in this plan that the
detailing of the various accommodation facilities is done. In this, it describes the basic locations
of every accommodation present at the site ensuring that the designated workers do not get lost

when in need of accommodation. However, the site plan may pose a significant challenge to the
workers who, to some extent, may be illiterate. Therefore, this site plan has to be easily
understandable to the various parties at the site. Another important piece of information to be
included are the different building structures such as offices and other operational facilities such
as equipment bases, machinery bases etc. Basically, this ensures that the operations at the site are
not limited by the inability to understand the bearing and direction of the different structures at
the site.
The boundary between the site and the public domain should be clearly outlined to prevent
trespassing. As a matter of fact, the boundary should be well established by features such as
fencing, using lockable gates etc.
The site plan shown on the next page represents the basics of the site. The blue lines indicate the
extent of the working area. The red line represents the footpaths within the site while the
rectangular structures represent the accommodation, offices and equipment housing

Question 2
An organizational chart plays a very crucial role in the functioning of a company. It is a diagram
that basically shows the structure in an organization. The diagram, in most circumstances, is
headed by the superiors and their relation to each other. Therefore, the ranks of the workers in
any organization are displayed in the company’s organizational chart and as such, prevents the
juniors from disrespecting their seniors by indicating the level of command that one possesses.
Furthermore, the organizational chart indicates the relationships between the different
departments of an organization. Therefore, by presenting, in a pictorial form, the relationship
between the different officials and the departments, it serves the purpose of enabling a person to
have an overview of the whole organization in a single view.
Some of the relationships indicated in an organizational chart include the directors to their
managing directors, the C.E.O to the various heads of departments, the managers and their
