§ 10104 Mobilization Costs Definition

• •Mobilization covers any prep work done before the main job starts.
• •It includes moving people, equipment, supplies, and setting up offices or other facilities.
• •All costs for that prep work are considered part of mobilization.

A builder is hired to put up a new school. Before any walls go up, they have to drive trucks with cement, bring in workers, and set up a temporary office on the lot.

All of those moving‑truck trips, the workers’ travel, and the temporary office are called “mobilization” under this law, so they count as the prep work before the actual building begins.
