Constructability review (CR) meetings are held before the completion of the project design to define potential site conflicts; reduce design errors, delays, and cost overruns; and improve construction site safety. The main objective of this research is to assess current practices associated with conducting CR meetings and provide specific guidelines that increase CR meeting efficiency. The research methodology included evaluating current CR meeting practices by different state DOTs and conducting interviews with multiple construction project stakeholders to assess different parameters affecting CR meeting success. The research findings showed that CR meetings should be scheduled at 60% to 70% of design completion. At least 3 contractors should be included, and a formal checklist of items should be provided by the constructability review manager for discussion throughout the meeting. Successful CR meetings result in reduced site conflicts, cost overruns, schedule delays, and they improve site safety.
