Construction Management Reviews

Properly executed services such as feasibility and constructability reviews and preliminary scheduling can result in significant risk reduction and cost savings many times their initial cost in terms of limiting change orders, delays, and contractor claims. We offer a great value in a professional advisory role throughout the design and construction process, because we work independently of the construction contracting.

CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS

Constructability reviews are a key to trouble-free projects. We approach the constructability review as a structured analysis of the plans and specifications. The focus is on the buildability, bidability, and efficiency of construction. Our constructability reviews may find problems in the following areas: suitability of work sequence, breadth 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 sufficiency of access. We have found that significant cost savings and reductions in change order rates can be accomplished through properly conducted constructability reviews.

All project feasibility studies and constructability reviews 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
