    Not every constructability issue can be identified through a general review of drawings and specifications. Certain projects may have specific risks related to waterproofing, code compliance, permitting, site conditions, or other technical requirements that deserve additional attention. Bringing in a specialist can provide a more detailed assessment of areas where a general construction review may not have enough expertise. The important part is choosing specialists based on the actual risks and complexity of the project rather than adding unnecessary layers to the process. Has anyone here found that a specialty review uncovered an issue that would otherwise have been missed?

    I agree that specialty reviews can catch risks that a general review may overlook, especially when a project has unusual systems or regulatory requirements. The key is making those reviews part of the process early enough for the findings to influence the design rather than becoming last-minute corrections. I also liked the point about coordinating reviews across disciplines, since many costly issues appear where different scopes overlap. This guide on https://www.fields-builds.com/blog/constructability-review-best-practices explains that approach well and gives some practical ideas for making constructability reviews more systematic.
