Constructability review
An assessment to determine how easily and cost-effectively a project can be built, considering design, cost and schedule.
Constructability reviews assess the feasibility and efficiency of designs before construction begins, identifying potential issues and optimizing methods. They are crucial for minimizing changes and delays, reducing costs, and improving safety. By involving construction professionals early in the design process, these reviews enhance collaboration, promote innovation, and ensure a smoother transition from design to construction, ultimately improving project delivery and outcomes.

Target Value Design 101: Maximizing Value in Construction
Innovative collaborative practices are transforming construction to meet owners’ stringent and exacting needs across various building types. Target value design (TVD) is a construction management approach that integrates design and project teams with budget limitations. Working with cost estimates from the beginning of the process provides owners with optimal value for their investment, aligning project […]
Mastering Construction Means and Methods for Every Project
In construction, “means and methods” refers to all the different techniques, tools, processes and strategies that contractors use to bring blueprints to life. Using the right means and methods can keep a project on time and within budget — and create opportunities for value engineering. For the seasoned general contractor (GC), negotiations on means and methods […]
How to Manage Defective Specifications to Protect Project Outcomes
Success on any construction project relies heavily on effective communication between the people who own and design the project and the people who build the structure. Construction specifications are one of the vehicles for getting that message across. If the specifications are somehow incorrect or misleading, it can have a serious negative impact on project […]
Augmented Reality & BIM: A New Perspective on Field Coordination
Building information modeling (BIM) continues to transform the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). As new technologies leverage the resulting model in different ways, the model gets increasingly useful — and increasingly powerful to drive desired project outcomes. Even as BIM managers have long been making use of the model in the office, though, people […]
