Preconstruction & Estimating
What is Constructability Review?
A constructability review examines drawings and specifications from the builder's point of view before construction: can this actually be built as drawn, are details coordinated across sheets, and where will the field hit problems. It catches conflicts, missing information, and impractical details while they are still cheap to fix.
In practice
Traditionally senior superintendents mark up drawing sets; AI review tools now cross-reference entire sets automatically, flagging coordination conflicts and scope gaps with sheet references, and pushing findings out as RFIs.
