Value, in its broadest sense, is the benefit to the client, offered by a project. Value Engineering (VE) is a creative, organized approach that enables providers of a product, service, or project to engage proactively with stakeholders to ensure that project value is optimized, life-cycle costs are reduced, and unnecessary costs eliminated. The VE methodology emphasizes the return-on-investment aspect of decision-making in terms of benefits management during project planning, procurement, and execution. It enables design teams and organizations to identify and evaluate alternative ideas and solutions at any project phase avoiding wasted design and investment effort and deliver the best value solutions that meet client requirements. VE is not about selecting the cheapest option; rather, it is about realizing the best value for money and improving productivity, competitiveness, and effectiveness of organizations in addition to stimulating innovation.
This course is designed to provide the participants with expert guidance for securing real benefits and cost savings by implementing VE in their projects with a greater emphasis on the development of project scope, cost estimates, design solutions, and budgets. Within the project management context, the course significantly enhances creative thinking, problem-solving, objective assessment, and informed decision-making skills.
