Constructability and Safety Assessment Design Approach

Abstract

The theme of this contribution fi ts astride two strands of the studies of Construction Management: health and safety risks management on construction sites and constructability design approaches.
The hypothesis developed in this approach is to entrust the design a harmonizing function between the parties. In particular, it refers to the delicate moment in which Executive Design implements in a Constructive one. The method proposed, working directly on design drawings, allows the specific and detailed assessment of safety conditions for the realization of the item in question. This allows, as well, to verify the constructability of the element itself, before opening the working site and when it’s still possible to intervene, if necessary, with amendments under the designer control.
