- Abstract:
The effective integration of design and construction offers important benefits and means to achieve project objectives. The results are given of an investigation of industrial and building projects undertaken to identify the steps progressive owners, designers, and contractors take to improve project constructibility during the early phases of a project. Using information from 15 projects, it describes the major concerns, approaches used, and constructibility improvements related to three key issues: developing the project plan, laying out the site, and selecting major construction methods. These findings then provide a basis for conclusions and practical applications to improve constructibility during the conceptual planning phase of a project, when the leverage is greatest.
