As modern building designs have become more complex, making those designs a reality means buildability (also referred to as constructability) has become one of the largest challenges facing construction projects.
To understand the extent of buildability issues in construction today, and the underlying causes, we surveyed 1200 respondents across the globe, at both the executive level and project level, on the prevalence of buildability concerns and the impacts that poor reinforcement design and detailing have on buildability. Being the first commodity project on a building site, steel reinforcement plays a critical role in buildability. Poorly detailed designs can result in on-site clashes, fixing problems, increased waste and delays that put the project on the back foot from day one.
