Constructibility Reviews
Constructibility Reviews are a key to trouble-free projects. Vemac approaches the Constructibility Review as a structured review of the plans and specifications. The focus is on the buildability, bidability and efficiency of construction. Our reviews bring to light problems in the following area: reasonableness of work sequence, comprehensive and completion of construction documents, coordination of the documents among the various engineering disciplines, adequacy of lead time for material and equipment procurement, site restrictions and adequacy of access.
During the review task of Constructibility, we focus on improving:
- Consistency, clarity and completeness of the construction drawings and specifications
- Consistency, applicability, enforceability, and comprehensiveness of the general condition (“front end” documents)
- Applicability of construction installation technology, methodology or materials
- Consistency between plans and site conditions
- Identification of project-specific issues, their probable consequences, and proposed mitigation recommendation
Vemac has found that significant cost savings and reductions in change order rates can be accomplished through this process.
