constructability review

Fewer Construction Problems will Let You Sleep Better at Night!

An independent third-party review of constructability is key to trouble-free projects. St. James approaches constructability as a structured review of the plans and specifications to ensure the project can be built, can be bid, and is efficient as possible.

We can bring to light problems in the following areas:

• Reasonableness of work sequence
• Comprehensive 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 adequacy of access

It is proven that significant cost savings and reductions in change orders can be accomplished through properly and efficiently conducted constructability reviews.

During the constructability reviews we focus on improving:

• Clarity, consistency, and completeness of the construction drawings and specifications
• Eliminating sole-sourced products and product distributors
• Consistency, applicability, enforceability, and comprehensiveness of the general condition ("front end" documents)
• Applicability of construction installation technology, methodology or materials
• Consistency between plans, site conditions, and specifications
• Identification of project-specific issues, their probable consequences, and proposed mitigation recommendation
