Choosing the right timing for reviews
In civic centre planning, the debate was about whether to run constructability assessments midway through schematic design or after documents reached near completion. The concern was that early reviews might stall progress, while late reviews might miss the chance to fix issues. How have others scheduled these checks effectively?

From my own experience I can say, that applying constructability review services during schematic design created flexibility without halting progress. Contractors reviewed layouts while architects were still open to adjustments, and suggested moving risers plus modifying structural bays. These refinements were integrated smoothly before final design freeze. The outcome was a procurement package with fewer changes later and a schedule that advanced without unnecessary redesign.
