Construction · Defined
Mobilization
The work and resources needed to establish construction operations, such as moving equipment, setting up temporary facilities, and preparing site logistics.
Why it matters
A mobilization line should have a supportable scope and value. It is not a blanket justification for assigning excessive payment to the beginning of the schedule.
In practice
A project example
A contractor requests its full mobilization value before the specified site facilities have been established.
