Pre-Construction Design Review
How does a systematic review of design documents during pre-construction help verify that all the different building systems will work together in the field, and what kind of issues typically get caught through this process?

A pre-construction design review works by systematically checking how all the different building systems fit together before anyone breaks ground. You overlay structural, mechanical, and architectural drawings to spot conflicts, review documents for completeness, and make sure everything matches the original design intent. The whole point is catching problems like a duct running through a beam while they're still just lines on paper. As outlined in https://www.fields-builds.com/blog/cutting-costs-avoiding-delays-constructability-reviews this proactive approach is what keeps projects from getting derailed by expensive change orders and delays once construction is underway.
