Best Practices for TxDOT Constructability Reviews (CRs)
The research team will provide a framework to minimize project issues through improved Constructability Reviews (CRs). The research team will develop a cost/benefit analysis to justify CRs on projects of all scopes. The research team will develop a Guidebook of Best Practices will be developed to help the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) improve construction plan quality and minimize project durations and costs. The Guidebook will discuss using knowledgeable construction personnel to review, ensuring adequate time for reviewing, ensuring clear and relevant comments that designers consider and implement, and ensuring that new lessons are continuously communicated back to design teams.
