I drew a sample on my laptop using the following commands:
set seed 123456789
preserve
keep if iconst==1 /*sampling only construction sites*/
sample 30, count
I run my code on my desktop and I am getting different sites selected.
Any advice how to replicate it?

If the datasets on your two computers are sorted differently, different
observations may be sampled. Look at these results:
sysuse auto.dta, clear
set seed 12345
sort weight
sample 10, count
summarize price
sysuse auto.dta, clear
set seed 12345
sort displacement
sample 10, count
summarize price
Hope this helps
