Abstract

This paper reports the findings of a study that examined five projects in which implementation of constructability concepts was viewed as a schedule reduction tool. The study attempted to determine the benefits, success factors, and implementation barriers across the case studies. The data suggested that adopting constructability concepts has the potential for significantly reducing the project delivery time compared with the historical performance of the participating companies. Success factors, implementation barriers, and lessons learned were viewed as management, employee, and process-related issues. These issues were ranked further according to their apparent significance in the cases studied. When such a ranking is verified by additional studies, the efforts of present and future implementations will focus on the issues that yield the highest payoffs.
