Constructability

At Buro Matei, we provide comprehensive Constructability services to ensure that every aspect of project design is optimized for efficient, safe, and cost-effective construction.
Constructability focuses on integrating construction expertise into the design phase, identifying and mitigating potential challenges before they impact schedules or budgets. By aligning engineering and construction teams early in the project lifecycle, we ensure designs are practical, buildable, and ready for seamless execution.
From heavy haul and lift planning to accessibility and modularization strategies, our services emphasize collaboration, safety, and proactive problem-solving. With experienced professionals and advanced tools like Dataverse, Power BI, and Microsoft Fabric, we evaluate designs against constructability criteria to ensure alignment with project goals.
Procurement is often seen as a critical link in the EPC chain, directly impacting cost, schedule, and project success.
We combine advanced technology, robust planning methodologies, and industry expertise to address the complexities of global logistics. Whether it’s route surveys, transportation studies, or real-time shipment tracking, we streamline processes to minimize delays, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with all international shipping standards.

Challenges We Solve
Our Constructability services address the common challenges faced during EPC project design and execution:
Late-Stage Design Changes: Poor constructability planning leads to rework and delays as construction challenges emerge during execution.
Inefficient Sequencing: Path of construction issues and poor activity sequencing can disrupt workflows and extend schedules.
Accessibility Gaps: Designs that fail to account for workfront access, equipment maneuvering, or scaffolding needs increase costs and complexity.
Missed Modular Opportunities: A lack of early modularization planning can result in higher costs, extended schedules, and logistical difficulties.
Safety Risks: Overlooking construction safety during design planning increases the potential for hazards during execution.
Our Approach
Our Constructability services integrate mindset, technology, and execution to deliver designs that are ready for efficient, safe, and reliable construction.
