Recently, constructability has received considerable attention from researchers and practicing engineers. Constructability has been defined as the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, design, procurement, and field operations to achieve overall project objectives (“Constructability” 1986). This paper discusses the evolution of constructability and how programs have been developed to bring design and construction closer to the level of integration once achieved by the master builder. There is a great deal of discussion among industry professionals as to how constructability is related to total quality management and value engineering. This paper conceptually describes these interrelations. In addition, the paper presents a framework to measure costs and benefits related to constructability. By providing owners with this framework, the parameters will be visible and defined, thus removing skepticism as to the measurement process as well as enabling more consistent and uniform results to be obtained. Additionally, these standardized parameters may facilitate developing a means to measure company and industry performance. |
