Retrofit Projects and Existing Conditions

On a seismic upgrade job, existing field conditions differ drastically from as-builts. The design team proposed several reinforcement methods that may not be feasible due to access constraints. We need a systematic constructability approach to verify all structural interventions before mobilization. What’s the best way to integrate constructability review into retrofit design updates? Schedule pressure is already high.

On seismic retrofit projects, I’ve found it effective to integrate a fields-builds.com approach by adding a constructability review at each design update. Verifying access, staging, and structural interventions early in the BIM model prevents on-site delays and helps prioritize feasible reinforcement methods under tight schedules. Regular checkpoints keep the team aligned and reduce rework.
