Data was collected through email, questionnaire and interview approach which was distributed among the stakeholders. Analysis of data was carried out with Descriptive Statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results and finding shows that design, pre­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­-construction, construction, post construction phase have an influence on constructability. The researcher concluded that lack of quality control and client dissatisfaction have an influence on constructability. Early involvement of contractors in the design stage and improving the spirit of teamwork have a direct impact on improving constructability and reducing duplication.
