Buildability in Practice: Shaping a Sustainable and Equitable Built Environment

Buildability in Practice: Shaping a Sustainable and Equitable Built Environment explores the often-overlooked concept of buildability in construction, how easily and efficiently a design can be built.It offers practical strategies and real-world examples to improve project outcomes, reduce waste, and promote sustainability.Readers will learn:How rationalisation encourages critical evaluation of design choices to reduce complexity and cost. How simplicity theory advocates for straightforward, user-friendly construction solutions. How standardisation promotes uniformity in design elements, enhancing speed, quality, and compatibility across projects. How system theory integrates all these elements, helping practitioners view buildability as a holistic approach that aligns design, planning, and construction processes. The authors show that a limited understanding of buildability principles, coupled with the failure to integrate them into the project procurement process, significantly contr
