Demobilization

Removal of temporary construction resources and restoration of affected areas as site operations wind down.

Why it matters

Completion budgets should allow for removing trailers, temporary utilities, fencing, or access provisions when required. These costs can remain after most permanent work is installed.

In practice

A project example

The building is occupied, but the contractor must still remove temporary facilities and restore a staging area.
