Defines buildable as 'easy to construct in a safe manner' and argues that buildable projects are the most successful, leaving satisfied clients and contractors. Suggests that this can be achieved through the implementation of the Latham and Egan reforms, the application of improved health and safety within the construction industry, the incorporation of an understanding of practical construction techniques into the project detail from the beginning, and the use of feedback throughout the supply chain.
