הָאֲתַר בִּבְנִיָּה The basic Hebrew word for place is מָקוֹם, while the word site - אֲתַר - is borrowed from Aramaic, where it is the basic word for place. אתר is used in Modern Hebrew to refer to a site, including a website. To build is לִבְנוֹת, an active-simple פָּעַל verb. While a building is a בִּנְיָן, the act of building or construction is בְּנִיָּה, Thus, to refer a construction site in Hebrew, you'd use:

אֲתַר בְּנִיָּה literally, a site of construction And to say, this site is under construction, you'd say:

הָאֲתַר בִּבְנִיָּה literally, the site is in construction. Visit Ktzat Ivrit.
