Sitebuild

Sitebuild is a term used in industry to describe the process of turning a raw site into a finished or deployable site. The meaning varies by field: in construction, it denotes the sequence of activities that transform land into a built facility; in information technology and web development, site build refers to the process of assembling and generating a website from source content and assets into a deployable product.

In construction, sitebuild encompasses planning and permissions, mobilization, earthworks and utilities, foundations and structure, exterior envelopes, interior fit-out, and commissioning. Project management, safety, and environmental controls are integral throughout, and coordination with stakeholders—surveys, design teams, and authorities—is essential.

In software, site build means compiling and bundling source code, content, and assets into a working website. Steps typically include dependency management, asset processing, templating or static site generation, optimization, testing, and deployment to hosting environments. Build tools and version control are used to ensure reproducibility.

Key considerations include compliance with building codes and zoning in construction, or security, performance, accessibility, and maintainability in software. Risk management, quality assurance, and documentation are common requirements across both uses.

The term is a general compound and not always precisely defined in formal contracts; it is often used interchangeably with site development, construction build, or build process, depending on context.
