Overview

Expert Independent Design Review

Constructability audits are systematic reviews of design documents to identify potential construction challenges before they occur on site. Our RPEQ-certified engineers bring decades of construction experience to every review, spotting issues that can lead to costly delays and rework.

Studies consistently show that design changes made during construction cost 10 to 100 times more than identifying and resolving them during the design phase. Our constructability reviews help you avoid these costs by catching issues early when they're easiest and cheapest to fix.

For major projects exceeding $100 million in Queensland, RPEQ-certified constructability reviews are often a requirement. We provide the independent certification you need while delivering genuine value through practical, construction-focused insights.

Why Choose Us

Key Benefits

The value our constructability audits deliver to your project.

Significant Cost Savings

Identifying issues during design costs a fraction of fixing them during construction. Our reviews typically deliver 10-100x return on investment.

Early Risk Identification

Systematic review identifies coordination gaps, conflicting details, and unclear specifications before they cause site problems.

RPEQ Certification

Our reviews are certified by Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland, meeting regulatory requirements for major projects.

Reduced Change Orders

Fewer design issues means fewer variations during construction, keeping your project on budget and on schedule.

Enhanced Collaboration

Our reviews foster communication between design and construction teams, improving project understanding and alignment.

Safety by Design

We identify potential safety hazards in the design, enabling modifications that enhance both construction and operational safety.

What We Review

Review Scope

Comprehensive assessment across all aspects of constructability.

Design Feasibility

Assessment of whether designs can be practically and efficiently constructed as specified.

Interdisciplinary Coordination

Review of coordination between structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and architectural disciplines.

Clash Detection

Identification of conflicts between building systems and elements before construction.

Construction Sequencing

Analysis of construction sequence and phasing to identify potential conflicts and dependencies.

Safety by Design Review

Assessment of potential safety hazards during construction and operation phases.

Specification Clarity

Review of specifications for completeness, clarity, and absence of ambiguities or contradictions.

Site Logistics

Assessment of site access, staging areas, material delivery, and equipment requirements.

MEP Coordination

Review of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system installation feasibility and access.

Optimal Timing

When to Engage

Strategic timing for maximum value from constructability reviews.

50-60% Design Completion

First review to identify major feasibility concerns while there's still time for significant design revisions without major rework costs.

90% Design Completion

Comprehensive review capturing subtleties and coordination details. Most cost-effective timing with maximum ROI before tender documentation.

Pre-Tender

Final coordination check ensuring all identified issues are resolved before bid documentation is finalized and released to market.

Avoid Before 50%

Reviews before 50% design completion typically lack sufficient detail for meaningful assessment and should be avoided.
