AI for Constructability Review
How AI identifies constructability issues before construction begins.
Definition
AI for constructability review analyzes designs to identify issues that would be difficult or costly to build. AI can flag access problems, sequence issues, tolerance conflicts, and other constructability concerns. AI-powered constructability review catches issues early when they're cheapest to fix.
In Depth
Constructability review evaluates whether the design can be efficiently built with available means, methods, materials, and labor. AI enhances this review by systematically checking for known constructability issues across the entire document set — identifying conditions that experienced builders know will cause problems in the field.
The review checks for specific conditions: structural members that cannot be erected without unplanned temporary support, MEP systems that require above-ceiling access that the architectural design does not provide, specifications that reference products with lead times longer than the construction schedule allows, and details that specify a construction sequence that is impractical with standard equipment.
