Description
Summary:Constructability can be define as the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement and field operations to achieve overall project objectives. Constructability issues still exist during field operations. Once in the field, constructors can still achieve Constructability benefits from their action alone. Field operations Constructability is not a packaging of the basics of construction management, control of cost, quality and safety, schedule and the management of materials and manpower. Rather, the focus is on the development and effective utilisation of innovative field construction methods that simplify construction effort and reduce project costs. The employed research method was an iterative process of issue identification, literature search, site interviews and analysis. Innovative construction methods may involve innovations related to materials/system, field tasks, handtools, constructor-optional temporary construction preassembly, temporary construction equipment, facilities, directly supportive of field methods or post-bid constructor preferences.
