TPM perform a constructability review as a cross check of construction documents for accuracy, completeness, and systems coordination issues.
During this review, we identify potential coordination issues, missed details, time delays, potential liability, and inter-contractor coordination items prior to publishing bid documents. The design team then reviews and implements appropriate changes to the documents.
Our constructability review method is a cross check of all construction documents. We review each building system independently, and as a whole. This process involves:
- Reviewing plans and specifications to assess the ease or difficulty of constructing the proposed design with recommendations for practical changes.
- Reviewing documents for any observed inconsistencies.
- Making recommendations for the use of more cost-effective alternative materials or design details.
- Making recommendations for specification changes when the proposed specifications are likely to limit competition or cause excessive delays in delivery.
- Reviewing documents for completeness. Comprehensive and accurate documentation results in more responsive and complete bids.
The goal is to eliminate all coordination problems prior to the start of construction.
