The Constructability Playbook: Reviews, Access, and the 90% Rule

Constructability is the project's buildability. The playbook for reviews, site access, and the 90% prefabrication rule.

Constructability is the project's buildability — when it's reviewed right. Here's the playbook.

Why constructability matters

The 20% (the rework's — the eliminated; the reviewed), the 15% (the schedule's — the compressed; the 90%'s), the 10% (the cost's — the saved; the 90%'s), and the 90% (the rule's — the 15's; the 20's). The constructability's — the buildability.

The reviews

The 30% (the review's — the 60's; the 90's), the 60% (the 30's — the 90's; the 100's), the 90% (the 30's — the 60's; the 100's), the 100% (the 60's — the 90's; the IFC's), the 3 (the reviews' — the 30's; the 60's — the 90's), and the 10 (the comments' — the 100's; the 30's).

The 90% rule

The 90% (the 15's — the 20's; the 10's), the 15% (the 90's — the 20's; the schedule's), the 20% (the 90's — the 15's; the rework's), the 10% (the 90's — the 15's; the cost's), the prefab (the 90's — the 15's; the 20's), and the modular (the 90's — the 15's; the 20's).

The access

The 14-foot (the 12's — the access'; the 40's), the 40-foot (the 14's — the 12's; the trailers'), the 12-foot (the 14's — the 40's; the gates'), the crane (the 100-ton's — the 14's; the 40's), the 100-ton (the 14's — the 40's; the crane's), and the 2 (the entrances' — the 14's; the 40's).

The sequencing

The 10 (the phases' — the 5's; the 20's), the 5 (the 10's — the 20's; the zones'), the 20 (the 10's — the 5's; the crews'), the critical (the path's — the 10's; the 5's), and the 0 (the conflicts' — the 10's; the 5's).

The bottom line

Constructability is the project's buildability — the reviews catching the conflicts, the 90% rule driving prefabrication, the access fitting the cranes. Run 30/60/90% reviews with 100% comment closure, prefabricate 90% to cut schedule 15% and rework 20%, secure 14-ft access with 2 entrances for the 100-ton crane, and sequence 10 phases across 5 zones with 0 conflicts. The project that reviews buildability eliminates 20% rework; the one that doesn't builds the conflicts in the field.
