History
↓↓
Construction sites have existed since ancient times, whenever humans built structures such as houses, temples, or roads. In Japan, organized construction sites became more prominent during the Edo period (1603–1868) for castle, temple, and infrastructure projects. Modern construction sites developed further during the Meiji period (1868–1912) with industrialization, using machinery, blueprints, and safety regulations.
Today, construction sites are highly organized workplaces with safety standards, machinery, and specialized teams, playing a key role in urban development and infrastructure projects worldwide.
