Why Baseline Documentation Should Precede Contractor Mobilisation

The integrity of a baseline depends on capturing conditions before ground disturbance, access changes and early works begin.

When baseline documentation is delayed until mobilisation is underway, the record is already compromised. The original condition may no longer be recoverable and later responsibility becomes harder to establish.

AUVRAN therefore positions baseline documentation before—or deliberately alongside—the earliest mobilisation activities.
