They often participate in design reviews, provide feedback on constructability, and incorporate suggestions from various stakeholders. Effective communication and the ability to interpret technical specifications are crucial, as is proficiency in coordinating revisions and updates. Collaboration tools and regular meetings are commonly used to keep everyone aligned and to resolve challenges quickly.
