Construction Value Engineering

Construction value engineering is a systematic method used to improve the value of a construction project while maintaining quality, performance, and safety. PBS focuses on this method as a way to get more value for money by identifying and eliminating unnecessary costs and by finding more cost-effective alternatives for materials, labor, and other resources.

The Process of Value Engineering in Construction

Value engineering begins at the design stage of a project and continues throughout the construction process. It is a continuous process that involves the collaboration of all members of the project team, including the owner, the design team, and the construction team. The goal of value engineering is to maximize the value of a project for the owner while minimizing costs.

The process of value engineering involves a systematic and structured approach to identifying and evaluating cost-saving opportunities. It typically involves the following steps:

  • Identifying the functions of a project or system
  • Generating ideas for cost-saving alternatives
  • Evaluating the alternatives based on their cost and effectiveness
  • Selecting the most promising alternatives and implementing them

Techniques For Improving Value In Construction

There are several techniques commonly used in value engineering to identify cost-saving opportunities. One such technique is substitution, which involves replacing a high-cost item with a lower-cost item that performs the same function. Another technique is simplification, which involves reducing the number of components or features in a system. Standardization, the use of standard components or materials to reduce costs, is another technique commonly used in value engineering. Finally, aggregation involves combining components or tasks to reduce the number of items or processes.

Benefits Of Value Engineering In Construction

Value engineering can lead to significant cost savings on a construction project. It is a proactive approach that encourages innovation and creativity and can result in better, more cost-effective solutions for the owner. By implementing value engineering techniques, construction professionals can help ensure that their projects are completed on time and on budget, while also meeting the needs and expectations of the owner.
