“…Similarly, addressing the solutions show the significance of different dimensions of the management group solutions in improving the place of constructability in VE. Some examples include the solutions focusing on "realistic planning" (Cha & O'Connor, 2005;Fong, 1996;Gambatese et al, 2007;Kusumi, 1989;Mccuish, 2010;Miladi Rad & Aminoroayaie Yamini, 2016); Omigbodun (2001) that covered P7 principle (plan) and concepts C1 and C5 and C8, or "strengthening team building" the studies that include principles P1 (integration) and P3 (team skills) and concepts C1 and C2 (Cha & O'Connor, 2005;Gambaese et al, 2007;Kusumi, 1989;Mccuish, 2010;Miladi Rad & Aminoroayaie Yamini, 2016) , as well as the solution of "improving engineering information management" (Austin & Thomson, 1999;Cha & O'Connor, 2005;Kusumi, 1989;J. Mccuish & Kaufman, 2002;Omigbodun, 2001) that includes principles P1 (integration) and P10 (project specifications) and concepts C6, C8, C10, and C12.…”

Value Engineering (VE) and constructability are not distinct; instead, they are complementary work processes that may be used as vital elements in achieving total quality. Constructability is a value management (VM) tool developed as an attempt to integrate design and construction activities. VE is often implemented when there is a limited chance to influence the cost and time of the project effectively. Thus, project contractors and owners conduct VE analysis before construction by applying the constructability process. The activities of these two processes somehow complement each other in achieving their goals. Considering the output of existing VE approaches, it seems that despite the significance of constructability, it does not have an appropriate significance in VE projects. This study aims to evaluate the importance of constructability in VE and provide some suggestions for facilitating and improving it with VE. A type of systematic review in the related literature and conducted pattern coding called overview was utilized to obtain the study's aim. The research found that a large part of the proposed VE solutions that cover the principles and concepts of constructability focused on the pre-study and the main study phases of VE and the management subgroup. Significant areas related to the supplementary studies phase or environmental solutions, including cultural and legal issues, have been neglected. Therefore, addressing them provides an appropriate context to improve constructability by using the VE process.

“…CRP have been found to increase procurement efficacy, design, construction methods, construction and maintenance staffing efficiency, team integration, and project performance and reduce change orders (Gambatese et al 2007) with a resultant benefit to cost ratio of at least 2:1 (Dunston et al 2001). However, CRP literature and technological integration in the transportation sector has stagnated, with few publications or advances seen within the last ten years (Kifokeris, Xenidis 2017).…”

Integrating Ca4prs V.3 Road Widening Schedule Module Into Us Highway Early Constructability Process: California Sr-91 Corridor Improvement Program Case Study

Performing Constructability Review Processes (CRPs) during the highway design development has been found to save transportation agencies twice their input costs. However, existing literature has identified three areas of CRP improvement: reduction of required agency resources, incorporation of Road User Cost (RUC) scheduling constraints, and integration of assessment visualizations. The authors propose to fill this gap by integrating the Construction Analysis for Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies (CA4PRS) v.3 software into the CRP. This module provides agencies with road widening project schedule capabilities, which enhances CRPs by providing accurate RUC-constrained critical path schedules using minimal resources. The module was developed through interviews with subject matter experts from six public and two private California transportation organizations. Said experts also tested the CA4PRS v.3 alpha and beta pre-release versions using data collected from eight Caltrans road widening projects. The potential value-adding of integrating the CA4PRS v.3 software with existing CRPs has been tested through its application on the California State Road 91 (SR-91) Corridor Improvement Program (CIP), resulting in 24-months of construction acceleration. The findings and presentation of the schedule model within this paper provide practitioners an accurate and resource-efficient tool to estimate the schedule impacts of road widening constructability options.
