Constructability Reviews
A design can be technically correct and still be hard, expensive, or unsafe to build. We review drawings from the contractor's side of the table before they go out to bid.
- You receive
- Prioritized constructability comment log
- Timeline
- Before bid or permit issue
- Typical clients
- Owners, developers, design teams
When to call us
- Drawings are nearly done and going out to bid soon
- The site is tight, occupied, or hard to access
- Several disciplines' drawings have to line up
- Past projects ran into change orders from drawing gaps
What's included
- Review of drawings and specifications for buildability
- Sequencing and access conflicts identified
- Coordination gaps between trades and disciplines flagged early
- Cost and schedule risk observations
- Practical alternative details where warranted
- A clear, prioritized comment log for the design team
Scoped to your project. We scope against your actual site before quoting, and we'll tell you early if another discipline should go first, such as a geotechnical report before final structural design.
How the work runs
Document review
Drawings and specs read the way a contractor will read them.
Site and context check
Access, staging, neighboring buildings, and existing conditions.
Comment log
Prioritized comments with the sheet, the issue, and a suggested fix.
Team coordination
We walk the design team through the comments and check the responses.
Common questions
Before bid, once drawings show how the work will be built, usually late design development or construction documents. Earlier catches more; later is still worth it.
A comment log keyed to sheets and spec sections, prioritized so the design team knows what to fix first.
