Accessibility is a key part of buildability
Access is an important consideration when assessing designs from a buildability perspective. During the pre-construction phase, the elements of the design will be assessed in relation to these key factors: Providing & maintaining safe systems of work. Achieving the desired final quality. Meeting the programme requirements. De-risking perceived problems. Achieving optimum value for money. Accessibility […]
Tower crane grillages are designed by experts
