Site assessment is the systematic evaluation of an area where a project, typically construction or industrial, is proposed to occur. This evaluation encompasses various aspects including environmental conditions, geological factors, historical use, proximity to sensitive environments and legal considerations. Involving both fieldwork and research, site assessments help identify potential hazards or limitations of a site that may impact project feasibility or necessitate mitigation measures. They play an integral role in land development processes by determining suitability for intended use and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. The data gathered during a site assessment also supports informed decision-making regarding project design and implementation strategies.
