While conducting a site survey for a specific location, it is important to

• A. Check weather
• B. Ignore permits
• C. Investigate whether the site is public or private property
• D. Assess only electrical capacity

Answer: (C)

When you’re surveying a location, confirming who owns and can access the site is essential. Knowing whether the site is public or private property tells you who to contact for permission, what restrictions may apply, and what permits or approvals are required before any setup or work begins. This helps you plan access, coordinate with the right people, and address liability and safety considerations from the start. Other factors like checking the weather or focusing only on electrical capacity are useful for planning and design, but they don’t address whether you’re legally allowed to be on the site or what approvals are needed. Ignoring permits or access requirements can lead to legal trouble or work stoppages, so verifying ownership and access status is a fundamental first step in a site survey.
