Constructability is the optimum use of construction knowledge and experience in planning, engineering, procurement and field operations to achieve overall objectives. Seven concepts for improving constructability during the engineering/procurement phase of a project are presented and analyzed. A limited number of specific applications of each concept are also presented. The concepts promote construction‐driven schedules, simplified design configurations, standardization of elements, and module/preassembly designs which facilitate fabrication, transport, and installation. Concepts also address the accessibility of manpower, materials, and equipment; design modifications to facilitate construction in adverse weather; and specification improvements.
