GLOSSARY / Project delivery

Mobilisation

The arrangements needed to bring people and equipment to a project and prepare for the agreed work. It can include travel, logistics, access and induction requirements.

THE RRS GLOSSARY

Why it matters to a project

A quotation should show whether mobilisation is included or charged separately. Location, notice period, equipment and the programme can all affect the scope.

PROJECT EXAMPLE

A survey quotation separates the mobilisation charge from personnel days and equipment rental.

A useful distinction

A headline daily rate is not necessarily the total project cost.
