A design review process in which experienced contractors and construction managers work with designers to ensure that the details of the design actually can be built in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The process entails review of materials, application, installation techniques, field execution, and building systems.

One of the great things about construction management project delivery is that it provides a contractual avenue by which the owner can bring the CM function into play early in the project planning and make direct dialogue with the design team possible. In these circumstances, the construction manager, acting on behalf of the owner, can contribute by providing value engineering, life-cycle cost analysis, conceptual estimating and scheduling, and what is called constructability reviews during the design process and head off possible incompatibilities between design and construction, which typically result in cost overruns, time delays, conflicts, and legal claims down the road.
