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.

How Close Are We to Bridging the Design-Build Divide?
For decades, construction decisions have often been made based on gut instinct. But what if the real barrier to transformation isn’t technology—it’s the divide between design and construction? In episode 18, we explore whether the industry is finally ready to bridge this fundamental gap with Paul Hedgepath, Director of Virtual Construction at MJ Harris Construction, […]
BIM and Prefabrication: Fine-Tuning Construction Techniques
Prefabrication — or the offsite assembly of a component — is by no means new in construction. Creating elements offsite can allow for faster production and easier installation. In a time when construction schedules are shortening, this delivers much-needed support for the project’s timeline. The trick, though, is making sure that the prefabricated element will fit […]
Cybersecurity in BIM: Protecting Construction Data
When thinking of desirable targets for cybercriminals, the construction industry probably isn’t top of mind. However, while a construction company may not have as many credit card numbers stored, they’re a rich source of information that hackers, scammers and other unsavory players can leverage. The data centers, labs and other notable projects on which teams […]
Training and Upskilling the Workforce in BIM Technologies
Building information modeling (BIM) allows stakeholders to virtually create the building well before a shovelful of earth is ever moved. It enables everything from smoother, faster design iteration to constructability checks. This mitigates project risks and propels productivity, all while helping stakeholders to make data-driven decisions along the way. This mitigates project risks and propels […]
