Frequently Asked Questions

What is value engineering?

Value engineering is the conscious elimination of unnecessary costs in a project, without compromising on the final function or quality. Substituting materials for cheaper and less time-consuming alternatives is one way to engineer value. Function is the priority. In some cases, the materials chosen may be less aesthetically appealing than the more expensive options (think of the difference between a premium smartphone and a standard model, when both perform at similar levels). This reduction in costs is passed to the customer.

What are the benefits of value engineering?

Value engineering is perfect for saving money and keeping control of budgets. It is especially valuable in larger projects that have relatively limited funds. Value engineering can be used to reduce waste by cutting out unnecessary materials and procedures. But the main goal is to reduce costs and expenses wherever possible, without diminishing the overall function or performance of the final project.

What’s an example of value engineering in architecture and construction?

Value engineering is common across the construction industry, where the focus is on optimising both initial and long-term value. UPVC windows are a great example of value engineering. UPVC is a cheaper material than timber or aluminium, but it is also more durable and easier to maintain. So viewed through the lens of value engineering, UPVC window frames and sills are the only sensible choice in construction projects.
