The review is typically performed by a team member who is not directly involved in design document preparations and who is experienced in the construction phases of similarly-scoped projects. \n“Constructability Reviews – A Primer” will cover various aspects of the process and provide attendees with principles\, ideas & tools they can use in performing plan & constructability reviews for their organizations. The session will cover: \n-The purpose of a constructability review \n-Credentials of a constructability reviewer \n-Checklists and why they are crucial components to a constructability review \n-Tools for conveying constructability review comments \n-A process for reviewing a set of contract documents that includes:\n–Understanding the project parameters & scope at a high level\n–Assembling documents & project strip maps to be used for the review\n–Making a 30-minute scoping flip-through of the documents\n–The importance of assessing the underground conditions\n–Finding the “Big Rocks” first\, then digging into the details \nSpeaker Bio: \nBob is a licensed professional civil engineering\, a 35-year veteran of the heavy highway & infrastructure industry\, primarily serving DOT’s and municipal agencies as a resident engineer & construction manager. He has been involved in corporate & construction management\, infrastructure planning\, development & design and construction surveying. He is an adjunct instructor at Joliet Junior College\, teaching a course in construction layout. Bob hosts a website & “The Construction Engineering Show Podcast\,” both primarily focused on civil & construction engineering. \nBob resides in Plainfield\, Illinois with his wife Beth. He is a volunteer member of the Plainfield Emergency Management Agency and a Brazilian jiu jitsu purple belt. Their daughter Chloe teaches high school English in Iowa and son Jack is working towards a degree exercise science. \n
