In my
engineering and project management career of ~ 23 years, I have met a lot of people
from different disciplines and crafts, construction managers are my favorite, they
have their hands into the real thing, putting into the ground what engineers (working
in offices) think they built and of course they did but all in virtual realm and
on a paper. A construction manager, the good ones, will enjoy putting together a
properly designed and integrated system, they see things in action, the time sequence
of how a plant is built up from bare ground up to the top of the finished system.
It’s quite amazing. There is a gap in culture, knowledge, and approach between the
construction and engineering community. One of the effective ways of tightening
this gap or make a bridge across this discipline chasm is to engage construction
team early in design phase. We call this constructability reviews.
