Construction at property access points, such as residential and commercial driveways, that do not have any alternate access points away from the construction, should be staged so that the property owner always has the ability to enter and leave their property by vehicle. The designer should provide the contractor with details for how to stage construction at these access points, for instance doing half a side at a time, even if it reduces the width to the point where only one vehicle can pass through at a time.

If maintaining access to a property during construction is extremely problematic then the contractor will need to coordinate with the property owner to implement an agreed plan in writing for offsite parking, pedestrian access, service and fire vehicle access, or total temporary access denial.
