Abstract
In general, the start of a large-scale construction and industrial project requires the preparation and supply of several prerequisites at the management and plant in the higher levels. At the plant levels, these prerequisites are anticipated in the form of a work package called site mobilization, from the time of price proposal and contract conclusion, and it enters the implementation phase after the kick of meeting. This work package supports the project until the end of the provisional acceptance and sometimes the final acceptance (guarantee period) which is defined based on the needs, structure, nature and goals of each project. In the implementation phase, project management and support has been done through the system which has been defined in the site mobilization. It is obvious that any mistakes, lack of predictions, non-compliance with the requirements and needs of the project will cause a delay in the schedule, the cost of changes will increase and human resources will be under the pressure and etc.

This research is based on the experience gained from implemented projects and previous studies to state the standardized method for the site mobilization phase of EPC contracts and industrial projects.
