For a project to be successful, design constraint are requirements that need to occur. When designing a
project, design constraints help narrow choice. Design constraint may often seem like a bad thing, but
they help shape the project to suit the client’s exact needs.
The project budget and the distribution of resources are linked to economic
restraint. If the budget is insufficient or improperly allocated, it can have a negative effect in terms of
efficiency, protection, functionality and performance of the project’s progress.
The designers will decide, after calculating, which trade-offs will be better suited
to the proposed project budget without sacrificing the structure’s capability.
Sustainable design and construction of buildings is the practice of designing structures and utilizing
methods that are environmentally friendly and efficient during a building's life cycle, from site selection
to design, construction, service, repair, reconstruction, and finally deconstruction.
Limitation: The structure must have a minimum design life of 70 years.
Constructability (Duration)
Effective activity planning of resources distribution can prevent delays of the construction
progress. The designers shall comply with the conditions specified by the client with regard to the period
of construction. This constraint helps the engineers lessen mistake and needless expenditures.
Risk assessment is defined as a report evaluating the potential for bad things to occur and the steps that
should be taken to prevent them from occurring or lessen the risk. This is one of the most significant
restrictions on workplace safety. The safety at the construction site must be high to ensure that
employees do not sustain accidents that may result in construction delay and extra expenses. There is a
degree of danger in all building projects. Therefore, the engineers would then use structural code to
avoid the potential danger that can make the structure collapse.
