Constructability Case Studies

Chapters 1 to 6 have reviewed the concepts, principles and practices of constructability, reinforcing some of the principal themes with illustrative case study examples. This chapter presents a number of more detailed case studies to exemplify the contribution that constructability can make throughout the building and engineering processes. The case studies present examples in building, engineering and refurbishment work, and address some of the issues that may arise in the phases of procurement, design, engineering, construction and use. The examples reviewed cannot, of course, be held as typical of current constructability applications, but rather serve as a strong indication of the propensities of constructability in application to building and engineering processes.
