Construction sequencing validation

At schematic design level, how can construction sequencing be technically validated to avoid schedule conflicts once the project moves into construction?

When working through schematic design, I learned that sequencing problems usually come from assumptions that are never tested against physical constraints. On one project, I started validating sequencing by mapping structural progression, enclosure timing, and major system installation together instead of separately. Introducing a focused Constructability Review at this stage allowed me to evaluate crane access, material staging, and trade stacking against the proposed schedule. This technical validation exposed unrealistic overlaps and missing dependencies early, which made it possible to adjust the design logic and avoid schedule conflicts that typically appear only after construction begins.
