What Does Walkthrough Mean in Construction?
In construction, a walkthrough is a physical or digital inspection of a space, used to review progress, catch issues, or let stakeholders experience a project before it's finished.
Physical walkthroughs on a job site
A physical walkthrough is when a contractor, inspector, or client tours an active construction site to review progress against plans and specifications.
These walkthroughs happen at key milestones, such as framing completion or final punch list review before handover.
- Progress walkthroughs during active construction
- Punch list walkthroughs near project completion
- Inspection walkthroughs for code compliance
- Client walkthroughs before final handover
Digital walkthroughs before construction begins
In a design or pre-construction context, a walkthrough can also mean a digital, interactive tour of a 3D model, letting stakeholders explore a space before it's built.
Digital walkthroughs are increasingly used alongside physical site walkthroughs to catch design issues earlier, when changes are far less costly.
