Course Information

Introduction

Increasing demands for capital projects are placing greater stress on available funding resources.

In this period of belt-tightening and reduced budgets, it is imperative to find ways of doing more with less.

Value Engineering (VE) has proved to be a valuable tool in stretching capital, construction, operation and maintenance dollars to achieve the required goals for reduced costs, both in the public and private sector.

Use of VE techniques also typically results in improvements in facility performance, even at these lesser costs.

The Value Engineering Technology is a problem-solving system designed to accomplish essential functions of products, materials and services at the lowest cost without sacrifice of quality or delivery requirements.

A Value Management Program manages costs and manages change through the deliberate use of the technology.

A successful program requires management support, proper planning and organization, and an understanding of the technology.

The Training Course and Its Workshops deal primarily with the learning and application of the technology.

Objectives

Upon completion of this training course, participants will know:

• Mitigation of risk by selection of the most suitable project design type
• Methods of selection of the most suitable building systems
