Use of the BCSA Safe Site Handover Certificate will assist in meeting these requirements, thus reducing the risk of accidents and delays due to poor and unsafe site conditions. The provision of well prepared level ground that is able to take the requisite wheel loads is essential. Adequate access is required by the steelwork contractor for steel transportation, unloading and erection, both on the site as well as on surrounding or adjacent access roads. Good site co-ordination will facilitate a smooth running project. In this context, this article draws on the wider advice given in the SCI publication P178 Design for Construction. It is important that designers clearly understand the impact that their decisions can have "buildability" is a valid design objective. Often the ability to complete these processes safely, quickly and economically is influenced significantly by early decisions made during design long before erection commences. The assembled frame needs to be aligned before bolting up is completed, and the structure handed over to the principal contractor. Generally this is achieved through bolting but sometimes site welding is used. The processes involve lifting and placing components into position, then connecting them together.

These clamps (or cramps) are used to position components temporarily for various tasks: In the field of animal husbandry, using a clamp to attach an animal to a stationary object is known as "rounded clamping." A physical clamp of this type is also used to refer to an obscure investment banking term, "fund clamps." Anything that performs the action of clamping may be called a clamp, so this gives rise to a wide variety of terms across many fields. Some are temporary, as used to position components while fixing them together, others are intended to be permanent. There are many types of clamps available for many different purposes. In the United Kingdom the term cramp is often used instead when the tool is for temporary use for positioning components during construction and woodworking thus a G cramp or a sash cramp but a wheel clamp or a surgical clamp.
