• Topography and drainage patterns <br />• Existing vegetation <br />• Existing utilities / overhead wires <br />• Views / focal points <br />• Circulation & traffic patterns <br />• Shade studies <br />• Access points <br />• CPTED issues / safety concerns <br />• Adjacent properties <br />Once all relevant data is collected, it is then analyzed to determine any design opportunities, restrictions <br />or challenges that the project site presents. The end goal is to develop a clear overview of the study <br />area, any previously prepared concepts and other influences on a project site and to highlight strengths, <br />weaknesses and opportunities that can be used to inform design decisions as the project moves forward. <br />Findings will be developed into a series of presentations for review/input of the City and stakeholders to <br />ensure all feedback is considered prior to beginning the conceptual design phase. <br />Having a clear understanding of all the influences on the project site prior to beginning any design <br />work will ensure that the design begins with a solid foundation and there are no surprises or missed <br />opportunities as the conceptual design alternatives begin to take shape. This helps to ensure that the <br />design phases of work can be completed as efficiently as possible, re-work is avoided, and the project <br />schedule isn’t compromised. <br />The KEITH team emphasizes the importance of <br />constructability reviews performed internally <br />by qualified senior staff, although sometimes <br />based on the complexity of the project it can <br />be performed by an external subconsultant or <br />contractor. <br />The purpose of these reviews is to have an <br />independent view of the project from a “construction <br />thinking” or “ability to build” perspective during key <br />milestones of the design phase of the project. Its <br />purpose is to anticipate and identify challenges to <br />the actual construction of the project before a project <br />moves on from the design phase and allow the future <br />construction phase to run as smooth as possible. <br />PHASE 08: CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW <br />58RFQ No. 22-06-01
