Constructability is a project management technique to review the construction processes from start to finish during pre-construction phrase. It will identify obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent error, delays, and cost overrun.

The term "Constructability" refers to:

the extent to which the design of the building facilitates ease of construction, subject to the overall requirements for the completed building.--(CIRIA definition)
a system for achieving optimum integration of construction knowledge and experience in planning, engineering, procurement and field operations in the building process and balancing the various project and environmental constraints to achieve overall objectives.--(CII definition)
a system for achieving optimum integration of construction knowledge in the building process and balancing the various project and environmental constraints to achieve maximisation of project goals and building performance.--(CIIA definition)
