Can we get it there?
Review access routes, delivery constraints, laydown needs, and potential equipment or material handling restrictions.
02 / Constructability
A model is a plan.
The field is the test.
CAD and Navisworks model reviews informed by industrial construction experience—focused on how the work can be installed, accessed, coordinated, and sequenced.
ILLUSTRATIVE STUDY / CONSTRUCTION INTERFACESBuildability, before the field
Look beyond
the clash.
A design can fit together in a model and still be difficult to build. Constructability review considers the space, order, access, and temporary conditions needed to put it together.
Barbieri Contracting reviews CAD and Navisworks models with a practical construction lens, helping project teams identify questions and evaluate opportunities before installation.
The review lens
Ask the questions
the field will ask.
Can we install it in that order?
Consider installation sequence, work fronts, discipline handoffs, and areas where early installation may restrict later work.
Is there room to do the work?
Consider working clearances, lifting and installation access, temporary access requirements, and the space needed around connections.
Where can construction be simpler?
Identify opportunities to discuss prefabrication, installation grouping, reduced handling, or revised sequencing with the responsible project team.
From review to action
Findings your team
can work with.
Agree the review area, model information, and priorities at the start. Findings can be organized into annotated views, a constructability issue register, and a coordination discussion with your team.
Each item can capture the location, construction concern, proposed next step, and discipline responsible for resolution.
Recommendations support construction planning. Design changes and engineering approvals remain with the responsible design professionals.
