Value Engineering

Modification of designs and systems according to value analysis.

The application of Value Engineering principles on projects and products can provide effective solutions and alternatives that frequently afford savings ranging from 5 % to 20 % of the overall cost of the product or project. This is accomplished by eliminating extra costs that do not serve the required function or purpose.

Value Engineering is not a random cost reducing method. Some confuse cost reduction based on cancellation of part of the works, which disrupts the basic factions of the project, with Value Engineering- Value Analysis- Value Management, which is characterized by application of a global view, creative thinking and group work.

Benefits of Value Engineering:

  • The efficient use of resources.
  • Presenting concepts, alternatives and analysis in a scientific procedure.
  • Controlling costs at various project stages.
  • Setting objectives and requirements, and distinguishing needs from wishes.
  • Improving quality and reduction of costs.
  • Putting limitations on design basics and safety factors.
  • Concentrating on total costs instead of initial costs.
  • Presenting distinguished services in the Value Engineering field.

We focus on three specific areas:

  • The efficient use of resources.
  • Presenting concepts, alternatives and analysis in a scientific procedure.
  • Controlling costs at various project stages.

Naturally different projects have a different emphasis on the most important aspect. Once we have established our clients requirements, we can produce a proposal using these principals to best satisfy the requirement.
