site

Where construction happens

A site is a place or location, especially one designated for a particular purpose: a construction site, a campsite, a historic site.

In computing, a site is a location on the internet—a website.

The verb means to place or position something: The factory was sited near the river.

To site a building is to choose where it goes.
