Thanks Muriel. I think this is the simplest and best option. Unfortunately I had a deadline and finalised with "site development" in the actual translation, but the client was happy overall. I will use this next time.

disagree  Manuel Aburto: Though we lack enough context, I do not think "habilitación" can be translated as "reclamation"

Site development


Explanation:
It can be translated in many ways. I would prefer Site development.
Anyway, more context can help us arrive at a more accurate translation.

habilitación del sitio
site enabling


Explanation:
This is what happens before you start building.

Here's a recent example from Los Angeles, where you can see from the picture that the site has been leveled and prepared for the construction of a new concourse:

“El trabajo de **habilitación del sitio** ... se ha completado en el plazo previsto y por debajo del presupuesto. Ahora, la construcción va a todo vapor hacia la apertura para finales de 2019”, señaló al respecto, Deborah Flint, directora ejecutiva de Los Angeles World Airports.

And here's the English quote:
"With the **enabling work** for the midfield concourse site now completed – on time and under budget – it is full speed ahead towards opening the concourse at the end of 2019,” said Deborah Flint, chief executive officer of Los Angeles World Airports.

And finally, a (slightly ungrammatical) definition:

"ENABLING WORKS ARE PREPARATIONS TO MAKE A BUILDING SITE READY FOR CONSTRUCTION.
It covers activities from site preparation, creation of access routes, and the installation of facilities like security fencing, ramps, and placing of signs.
The result is a site that enables not only construction teams and materials to enter and begin work safely and efficiently, but neighbouring buildings and infrastructure to keep functioning safely and without impediment."

You could also say "site preparation".

SITE COMMISSIONING/COMMISSIONING OF THE SITE


Explanation:
He visto este término utilizado en textos técnicos para referirse a la habilitación de una planta o máquina. Creo que puede aplicarse perfectamente a un sitio de trabajo.

Example sentence(s):
  • he completion and processing of a commissioning report leading to a decision on the commissioning of the site

site preparation


Explanation:
I think in the U.S., the activities that the references cited included in "HABILITACION DEL SITIO" are part of what we would call site preparation: clearing the site of brush & debris, rough grading to make a working surface for the project, fencing, removal of trees, demolition of existing structures that aren't going to be kept, etc.
Good discussion here: https://www.voglerllc.com/what-is-site-preparation/

pre-construction approval


Explanation:
Before and construction can take place, especially for a major project, a whole series of requirements must be made and approved, such as environmental impact studies, financing, sometimes removal of hazardous waste, building plans approved, permits approved, etc. It is a long process, because of gov't red tape, which can take years before a green light is eventually given. There may also be issues of acquiring eminent domain and further delays brought on by lawsuits.
