A construction site is an specific environment where important propagation related issues have to be considered. In particular an important problem concerns the coverage of buildings under construction and therefore continuously changing. The deployment of a DECT system in such scenarios can not be carried out as usually, by means of DECT base stations linked by cables. Another specific problem is that no measures can be done prior to decide the best place for the antennas since initially the building does not exist. In this paper a way to solve both problems is proposed through a specific system architecture, a propagation model and a combination of software with a CAD tool.
