Improving outcomes with constructability review

John Staples   |   01 September, 2025

In one healthcare project, a structured Constructability Review proved essential to success. The assessment highlighted issues such as crane access, sequencing challenges, and potential safety hazards long before construction began. Using the insights gathered allowed adjustments to be made at a fraction of the cost compared to redesigning mid‑build. Experience has shown that pausing for review early prevents far greater risks downstream and ultimately strengthens both schedule certainty and budget control.
