Examination of the Constructability Review in Government Contracting

Abstract

Constructability is defined, for the purposes of the Navy, as 'the practicability and correctness of a project design, including the inherent capability of the contract documents to be understood, bid, administered, and enforced'. The policy of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command is that a constructability type of review must be conducted to assure that the project design is compatible with the project site, site conditions, and available construction materials and methods. In addition, this review should also assure that the contract drawings and specifications do not contain significant design errors, omissions and/or ambiguities.
