In the last decade the term “value engineering” has gained prominence in the construction industry.
The main objective of value engineering is to maximize the project’s function while minimizing the project cost. This process typically occurs during the pre-construction phase and provides an opportunity for the initial project participants (Owner, Designer, Project Manager/General Contractor) to review the design documents and project criteria. A functional analysis of the facility is conducted to determine key criteria for the building and offer alternative solutions for design, materials and application methods.
