F-01 HIGH MEP
Duct route at Grid B-4 conflicts with W12×26 beam at El. +14'-0". Insufficient clearance for installation.
F-02 MEDIUM Plumbing
Floor drain at Rm 112 lacks required access panel per spec section 15400.
F-03 MEDIUM Structural
Slab opening at Stair-2 not shown on structural drawings — coordination gap with mechanical team.
F-04 HIGH MEP
Mechanical unit at Roof-3 has only 28" service clearance — code minimum is 36" for maintenance access.

DESCRIPTION
Supply duct at Grid B-4 (El. +13'-6") conflicts with W12×26 beam bottom at El. +13'-8". Only 2" clearance — installation not feasible without rerouting.
WHY THIS MATTERS
  • Duct cannot be installed as drawn without cutting or modifying the structural beam.
  • Likely to generate an RFI and cause schedule delay if not resolved in preconstruction.
EVIDENCE
"Duct centerline at El. +13'-6" — beam bottom flange at El. +13'-8" per S-301. Net clearance: 2 inches.— beam bottom flange at El. +13'-8" per S-301. Net clearance: 2 inches."

REALITY

Every project goes through constructability review.

Manual reviews. Internal checklists. Trade coordination.
And yet — some issues still reach the field.

These issues would have been found during constructability review — before construction started.
01

Teams review drawings manually.

People scan contract drawings, mark visual issues, compare sheets, and identify missing information or coordination problems.

  • Multiple reviewers working across sheets
  • Visual scanning for gaps and callout errors
  • No standardized review logic applied
02

Internal checklists are cross-checked.

Requirements, standards, access rules, and trade-specific checks must be applied consistently across drawing sets.

  • Checklists vary by team and project
  • Cross-trade coordination is manual
  • Hard to apply consistently at scale
03

Conflicts and risks are identified.

The workflow looks for missing details, constructability conflicts, clearance issues, and execution risks before crews reach the field.

  • MEP elevation conflicts caught late
  • Missing details create downstream RFIs
  • Some issues only visible during install
04

Some issues still reach the field.

Even after thorough review — some problems are only found during construction, causing RFIs, rework, delays, and coordination failures.

  • RFIs disrupt active crews
  • Rework is expensive and time-consuming
  • Field conflicts damage schedules and trust
WHY IT BREAKS

Constructability review depends heavily on time and experience.

Drawings are reviewed manually. Checklists vary from team to team. Different trades are reviewed separately.

What happens in reality
  • Ceiling space conflicts get missed
  • Access clearances arent identified early
  • Missing details create RFIs later
  • Coordination issues appear during installation

By the time theyre discovered, the project is already moving.

INTRODUCING THE SKILL

Now review your drawings with AI-assisted constructability checks.

With iFieldSmart AI, teams can run structured constructability reviews directly on contract drawings.

Simply upload your drawings and ask:
“Generate Mechanical Constructability Review”
“Run Plumbing Constructability Checks”
“Review ceiling coordination issues”
WHAT HAPPENS

Your drawings are reviewed against structured constructability checklists.

The system
01

Extracts drawing notes and details

Reads sheets, callouts, schedules, labels, notes, and referenced details.

02

Applies trade-specific review logic

Runs mechanical, plumbing, architectural, structural, and coordination checks.

03

Evaluates constructability conditions

Checks whether the design can be installed, accessed, coordinated, and maintained.

04

Identifies potential execution risks

Highlights issues that may become RFIs, delays, rework, or field conflicts.

OUTPUT

Get a report your team can actually review.

The Constructability Review Report gives your team structured findings with clear locations, risk descriptions, and potential impact on execution.

01

Identified issues

Every constructability concern is listed clearly for review.

02

Grid / level references

Findings include the exact drawing location your team needs.

03

Description of risk

Each issue explains the risk and potential impact on execution.

Structured findings Clear locations Actionable review

Instead of manually documenting issues during review meetings — your team gets a structured findings report instantly.

WORKFLOW SHIFT

From manual checklist reviews →
to structured AI-assisted review

Less effort. More clarity. Better decisions.

BEFORE
Review drawings → apply checklists → identify issues → document findings

1. Review drawings

Teams manually review contract drawings and trade packages

2. Apply checklists

Use internal constructability checklists that vary by team

3. Identify issues

Look for missing details, trade conflicts, and execution risks

4. Document findings

Manually capture comments, locations, and follow-up actions

Slow. Manual. Easy to miss issues.
VS
NOW
Upload → run review → analyze report

1. Upload

Upload contract drawings and relevant trade packages

2. Run review

AI applies structured constructability checks to the drawings

3. Analyze report

Review clear findings with issue locations, risk, and impact

Structured. Faster. Review-ready.
WHY IT MATTERS

Most field issues don’t start in the field.
They start in the drawings.

A small constructability gap on a sheet can become an RFI, a delay, or a field rework decision. This skill helps teams catch those risks before construction starts.

01

Identify issues earlier

Flag constructability concerns while drawings are still reviewable, not after crews are waiting.

02

Standardize reviews

Apply consistent constructability logic across trades, packages, and project teams.

03

Improve coordination

Give VDC, BIM, and preconstruction teams clearer issues to discuss and resolve.

04

Reduce project risk

Turn hidden drawing gaps into structured findings before they become field cost.

Earlier review creates better decisions. Find it in the drawings before it becomes a field problem.
BUILT FOR PRECONSTRUCTION TEAMS

Made for the teams who need to find issues before construction starts.

Constructability review supports the people responsible for turning drawings into buildable work, with clearer risks, structured findings, and faster coordination decisions.

Especially valuable for Project teams
GC

General Contractors

Review risk across scopes before it reaches the site.

PC

Preconstruction teams
