Sight, Site, Cite

English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)

Sight: this means the power to see and it can be used as both a noun and a verb: She had a very clear sight until 90 (noun).
I can sight the moon even from here (verb).

Site: this means an area of ground. It can also be a noun and a verb:
That is a good site for such project.
You can site your company here.

Cite: this means to be made reference to and it is mainly a verb: You have to cite relevant authors in your literature review.

If you have a good sight, then you should be able to sight one construction site down the road and your company can site something similar to that where you got the contract but remember to cite me as your source of insight.
