Constructability Review Specifics

Constructability reviews attempt to analyze and assess the construction feasibility in a multitude of ways. One way looks at the instructions given in the construction documents and asks if they are actually do-able based on real-world considerations such as:

• physical limitations of the work site (slopes, muddy ground, etc.)
• landscape features to be preserved (trees to be protected, ponds, etc.)
• material drop off and storage area requirements
• demolition temporary stock piling, dumping and removal
• temporary storage and protection procedures for demo’d remove and reuse items
• availability of job site utilities (power, water, gas, etc.)
• parking and/or construction management trailer(s) for contractors
• interfaces with the public authorities
• communication and relationships with other construction contracts and other entities
• limitations and restrictions on hours of operation
• noise control and mitigation
• site security and safety concerns
• seasonal considerations and effects on the work
• construction equipment physical limitations
• physical limitations, mobility, constraints, etc. of construction components
• the owner’s special and operational requirements
• coordination with utility companies
• labor and materials availability
• the use of sole source, proprietary, branded, etc. items
• safety and security of the general public
• impact on traffic and other transportation
• job site maintenance and cleanliness requirements
• Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and Testing requirements

Does the Nigro Firm do Constructability Reviews?

The types of review tasks listed above are not performed by the Nigro Firm since many of these real-world considerations are not given in the construction documents. However, we do perform reviews of other elements often associated with Constructability Reviews, such as:

• Is there enough information on the drawings and in the specifications to build the building, and is this information consistent?
• Will any of the systems in the building interfere with each other?
