Abstract

A study which analyzed the incorporation of constructability into the architectural design process is presented. The investigation showed that constructability's main goal focuses on the enhancement of building construction by cutting costs and improving construction methods. Goal-setting at the project onset, the right contracting scheme, optimal costs and clear-cut objectives influence the implementation of constructability concepts. Meanwhile, combining traditional and modern construction methods remains a challenge for both designers and contractors.
