Construction site setup in Cyprus – Hoarding and site office
Site hoarding, site office cabins, temporary power and water in Cyprus. Describe your project and compare quotes for setting up your construction site.
Before any building work starts, the site needs to be set up properly: hoarding, a project sign, a site office, secure storage and temporary power and water. In Cyprus this applies to a single house as much as to an apartment block, and it affects safety, relations with neighbours and how smoothly the trades can work. Getting it right at the start saves delays and fines later on.

FAQ
Is site hoarding compulsory?
Generally yes, as a building site must be safe for passers-by and kept secure. The exact requirements depend on the project, so check with your contractor or engineer.
How long does temporary electricity take?
It depends on the area and how busy the Electricity Authority is. Apply as early as possible and ask about generator hire in the meantime.
Should I buy or hire a site cabin?
For a project of a few months, hiring usually makes more sense. For long or back-to-back projects, buying can pay off. Ask for both prices.
