ABSTRACT

       This study explores the model of optimizing constructability through early contractor involvement in the design stage to enhance overall project performance. In order to improve project performance and improve constructability, this study investigates the crucial role that contractor involvement the stage in the design phase. Conventional task conveyance models frequently isolate plan and development processes, prompting sub-standard constructability and deferred project timetables. This study advocates for a cooperative methodology by including workers for hire from the beginning in the plan stage to outfit their skill and bits of knowledge. The main goal is to occur with ways to continuously incorporate contractors into the design process, thereby fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between the design and construction teams. Project teams can mitigate potential issues, streamline workflows, and address constructability issues by utilizing contractor input in the early stages. This proactive commitment guarantees a more effective development stage, decreasing deferrals and cost overcomes. The study looks at examples of successful projects in which early contractor involvement significantly improved project outcomes by conducting a comprehensive review of case studies and industry best practices. Key discoveries highlight the significance of correspondence, joint effort, and innovation mix in streamlining constructability.

Keywords: constructability, project performance, contractor involvement, design stage, and early engagement.
