Purpose of a Post-Construction Review

A post-construction review is a structured evaluation conducted after a project is completed. Its primary goal is to capture lessons learned and identify opportunities for improvement in future projects. This process ensures continuous improvement in design, planning, and execution. Iowa DOT Policy 500.08 establishes formal review programs—Constructability, Post-Construction, and Maintenance Reviews—for selected highway projects. Below is a link to a list of yearly post construction review summary files and yearly district project review files.
