I am used in the construction of buildings.
I am nearly always left behind on site.

What am I


MCC

Bins.

[Cec]

Is it a hand-held tool or pencil/pen?

Cec

Bins.

No.

In the UK, you can now be fined for putting your bins/rubbish out on the wrong day.
Some councils are even bugging bins to make sure you don't overload them or even put the wrong type of rubbish in them.

Is it a hand-held tool?

It could be in some circumstances, but would the same hand-held tool "nearly always be left behind on site"

...or pencil/pen?

No.

".....It could be in some circumstances, but would the same hand-held tool "nearly always be left behind on site"

Good point and unlikely to be nearly always left behind.

"...I am nearly always left behind on site."

(1) Does this occur..

(a) during the construction contract?
(b) following completion of construction contract
(c) both the above

(2) Is power such as electricity, fuel, etc. required for me to function?

The sweat of the builders?

Or, you could say that the material used to construct the building, which is left behind "on site" (in the form of the constructed building itself)...

Sorry about the pedantry...

Oh yeah, water (which is used to mix the concrete)... I suppose they could left behind the excessive, used water on site and let it evaporate under the sun...

(1) - It does occur several times with (a) and as part of (a), but the way I'm looking at it, it'll have to be (b).

(2) - No.

No.

It is not the material per se.

Sorry about the pedantry...

In this instance, it doesn't matter, but don't you want to save it for later, once you know the answer

Oh yeah, water (which is used to mix the concrete)... I suppose they could left behind the excessive, used water on site and let it evaporate under the sun...

Not what I'm thinking about.

".....I am nearly always left behind on site."

Does "left behind" mean...
(a) forgotten or

(b) location such as left, right, behind , front, etc.

[Hud]

Is it the "cornerstone"?

[emm]

Nearly always left behind, Hud?

Are you a concept or an object?

[MCC]

...Does "left behind" mean...
(a) forgotten or

No.

(b) location such as left, right, behind , front, etc.

No.
But lateral thinking like this will help.

Is it the "cornerstone"?

No.

Are you a concept

Yes.

...or an object?

But it also exists physically.

A long shot but how about ...

hands or feet of workmen are used during construction and later...

hand or footprints of a workman or some workmen deliberately left on finished concrete surface as a momento or souvenoir.

How about a plan or a draft?

[udosuk]

Another unrealistic answer...

Time... It's "used" when constructing buildings... Usually there's some time left behind on site when the project is completed ahead of schedule...
