  1. Masonry Contractors and Constructability: What You need To Know

  2. Within New York, the International Building Code (IBC) is the established model design code associated with the many requirements and specifications of all masonry construction designs.Should a construction contractor fail to properly implement an integrated constructability plan, it can lead to all manner of issues that will ultimately impede the entire construction process. Provided you choose an experienced masonry contractor in New York, you can count upon them doing their utmost to improve the constructability of the building in question, and they’ll work in harmony with a team of engineers and architects to refine the designs. But what exactly is constructability?

  3. What is constructability? There are many aspects of designing a building, with a successful building design taking into account far more than just the bricks and paintwork; this is when the concept of constructability (sometimes referred to as ‘buildability’) plays its part. Simply put, constructability is all about reviewing and refining a buildings design to prevent potential hindrances to the construction process. When a masonry contractor assesses any areas of concern in a design and construction plan, such as obstacles, errors, expense overruns, delays, and safety, it’s entirely possible to resolve these and introduce relative modifications.

  4. What are the primary objectives of constructability? In essence, constructability should provide you with the following: An estimated budget that is more economical Hassle-free and convenient execution of the project by using the rights tools and skills A safer project due to a deeper understanding of the risks and hazards and undertaking of proper safety protocols Higher chance of a smoothly executed project that’s completed on time and within budget ● ● ● ●

  5. Taking all of the above factors into account, it’s easy to see why a well-laid constructability plan is essential for a successful construction project. What are the different aspects of constructability? Protecting your building from damage and preserving its aesthetics is part of the approach of all reputable masonry contractors, but there are some aspects of a project that have a significant impact on their constructability plans, such as:

  6. Constructability is affected by whether a building is being constructed horizontally or vertically – a good masonry contractor will take an approach that guarantees swift and steady progress An experienced masonry contractor will check for waterproofing issues and ensure that sealing, caulking, frames and windows are all suitable for the building Being able to access the building safely and easily as it’s being constructed is another important concern for a masonry contractor when creating a constructability plan. They will need to decide whether conventional scaffolding or a mast climber is best used, and whether it can be used safely to lift heavy weights and enable a safe landing. ● ● ●

  7. By choosing a masonry contractor in New York with the relevant experience and skills to tackle your construction project, you’re virtually guaranteed constructability. If you’re still unsure as to whether your building is being designed with constructability in mind, take the time to chat to your masonry contractor, who will be happy to put your mind at ease.
