Since the inception of using sets of plans for construction purposes, a persistent challenge has been the miscommunication between designers and constructors, even when they were part of the same organization.
NCHRP Web-Only Document 388: Framework for Implementing Constructability Throughout Project Development from NEPA to Final Design, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, develops a decision-making framework that is scalable to all contract delivery methods and that complies with all environmental statutory requirements.
Supplemental to the report are a technical memorandum, an adaptation guide for the framework toolkit, a full presentation, and an abridged presentation.
