How to use this template

When you need it

Conduct a constructability review while design choices can still respond to site access, sequencing and installation constraints. Repeat targeted reviews when major construction assumptions, logistics or temporary works interfaces change during design development.

What it helps you decide

It tests whether a design can be executed using credible construction arrangements. The team can compare practical options early and identify effects that require further technical, cost or schedule assessment before changing the design.

How to complete it

Establish construction context from the design package, site constraints and proposed sequence, making access, logistics and temporary works assumptions explicit before reviewing buildability concerns.
Record issues by location or package with evidence, proposed options and effects to assess, distinguishing a practical suggestion from an engineered and authorized design change.
Assign responsible roles for follow-up, compare implications with affected disciplines and route selected options through the appropriate design, method and change-control review processes.

Who prepares and reviews it

Construction specialists lead or contribute alongside designers, logistics planners and temporary works engineers where relevant. The design authority reviews technical changes; commercial and programme decisions follow the project's actual approval arrangements.

A mistake to avoid

Do not assume a suggested construction shortcut is technically acceptable; temporary conditions, tolerances and design implications require review by the appropriate competent specialists.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: a prefabricated pipe rack cannot pass through the planned installation access after adjacent steelwork is complete. The review records the sequence conflict and alternative options. Designers and construction planners assess revised sequencing or segmentation before management selects an authorized approach.
