Value Engineering
Our specialized team helps clients understand whole life outputs, to achieve best value
in the long-term. Our value engineering identifies signs of the over-engineered system,
and other high-value areas to save you money.
We help clients appreciate how a detailed understanding of whole life can inform
decision-making that involves more than the consideration of capital budgets. Our
value engineering support also helps eliminate any unnecessary costs.
Value engineering is used to solve problems and identify and eliminate unwanted
costs, while improving function and quality. The aim is to increase the value and
performance at the lowest possible cost.
We consider the availability of materials, construction methods, transportation issues,
site limitations or restrictions, planning and organization, costs, profits. Benefits that
can be delivered include a reduction in life cycle costs, improvement in quality,
reduction of environmental impacts.
Our value engineering solutions involves:
♦Identifying the main elements of a project.
♦Analyzing the functions of those elements.
♦Developing alternative solutions for delivering those functions.
♦Assessing the alternative solutions.
♦Allocating costs to the alternative solutions.
♦Developing in more detail the alternatives with the highest likelihood of success.
• Take a broader look at the project and consider the choice of materials and plant
equipment and processes to see if there is a more cost-effective solution that achieves
Same project objectives.
• Balance the initial cost and operating cost for the benefit of the customer and the end user.
