    The document discusses the concept of buildability in construction. Buildability refers to the ability to construct a building efficiently, economically, and to agreed quality levels from its constituent materials, components, and sub-assemblies. It is the shared responsibility of all disciplines involved in construction, including architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors. Good buildability is achieved through standardization, simplicity, and utilizing integrated systems in the design. This allows for efficient conversion of materials into components and sub-assemblies on both off-site and on-site.

    BUILDABILITY

    BSB 602

    Introduction
    Design details are sometimes very difficult and even impossible to construct. This could be resulted from design teams not considering problems which the contractor has to face on site. It is also seen as a result of fragmentation between the design and construction practitioners (Moore, 1998).

    Definition
    Buildability can be defined as the ability to construct a building efficiently, economically and to agreed quality levels from its constituent materials, components and sub assemblies.

    BSB 602

    Buildability is the share of the responsibility of all those disciplines whose constitute the multidisciplinary building team including architects, engineers, surveyors, building contractors and subcontractors, and not the individual responsibility of the Architect (Griffith, 1994)
