Decision question
Should Engineer T have selected the straightforward design approach without first exploring whether a safer alternative configuration existed, given that the design documents themselves explicitly noted the constrained-access condition that foreseeably complicated construction worker access?
Focus
Engineer T: Structural Design Approach Selection and Construction Safety Consideration When Constrained-Access Conditions Are Documented
Option1
Select the straightforward design approach as the first viable structural configuration, note the constrained-access condition in the construction documents, and rely on the contractor's contractual responsibility for construction means, methods, and worker safety
Option2
Solicit a constructability and construction safety review from the general contractor or a construction safety specialist before finalizing the design documents, in order to determine whether the documented constrained-access condition poses a foreseeable worker safety risk requiring design modification
Option3
Present both the straightforward constrained-access design approach and the more complex safer alternative to the client with explicit disclosure of the construction safety tradeoffs, allowing the client to make an informed choice before design documents are finalized
