Common use of Constructability Clause in Contracts

Constructability. The IPD Team shall continually review the Construction Documents for clarity, consistency, constructability and coordination among the construction trades and collaborate with the other IPD Team Members in developing solutions to any identified issues. The purpose of the constructability reviews is to determine that the design is progressing in a manner that will result in complete, accurate and coordinated drawings which are sufficiently complete and coordinated for construction, and thereby reduce the risk of disruption, delay, change orders and potential claims. CM/GC, the Subcontractors and the Suppliers will focus on accuracy, completeness, sequencing and coordination. The constructability reviews will also seek out alternative construction materials, sequences, details, prefabrication opportunities, and systems that may result in a cost or time savings or increased quality. Nothing in this section shall relieve any IPD Team Member from its obligation to perform its services or work in accordance with the terms of its contract and the applicable standard of care.
