On one of my first coordinated builds, I watched budget creep and schedule slips happen because no one flagged a few simple issues before work began. It felt like every delay could have been anticipated, and I realized that seasoned teams do something different at the outset. That curiosity drove me to look deeper into pre‑construction reviews and understand how they can change the course of a project before the first materials are even delivered.
Through experience, I learned that stepping back to evaluate plans from a practical building perspective isn’t an extra step it’s essential. It helps catch clashes, unrealistic details, and coordination gaps when they’re still easy and inexpensive to fix. While seeking insights, I came across https://www.fields-builds.com/blog/cutting-costs-avoiding-delays-constructability-reviews ,and it gave me a clearer sense of how structured constructability reviews work. Applying those ideas made my own project planning more proactive, reducing surprises and keeping both cost and schedule much closer to expectations.
