MEP Value Engineering For Maximum Savings And Optimum Value
We Do Value Engineering The Right Way
Is your construction project becoming more expensive than planned? We can help you create potential cost savings in your MEP project through our effective value engineering service.
Value engineering is an ideal process to reduce costs, improve quality and increase productivity. Value engineering can be applied to all aspects of construction including mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems.
Value engineering involves the analysis of the functions of a project, system, equipment, product, or service to improve reliability, performance, safety, quality and lifecycle costs. The aim of the analysis is to determine the best value, by establishing a relationship with value and cost. In short, value engineering ensures that systems and equipments perform their basic function in the lowest lifecycle cost.
The application of value engineering helps to approach construction in a way that it integrates environmentally-sound and energy-efficient materials and best practices. Value engineering is not just cost reduction; its objective is to improve value through alternative design and construction approaches. The process also helps in selecting the right equipment based on market and local conditions.
Value engineering doesn’t mean changing the whole lot of equipment for inferior or cheap products. It is the process of reviewing the entire engineering approach to find out if there are better ways of accomplishing the same goals.
The ATC Designers value engineering process reveals applicable approaches to integrate technology in the building which can convert to real savings. Reducing expenses without compromising performance or quality is a skill we have mastered over the years working on several value engineering projects.
We can ensure you optimum value at reduced costs with our MEP value engineering. We only charge you if we are able to help you save your costs. Otherwise, you don’t need to pay us anything!
When Should You Go For Value Engineering?
Anybody would want to complete their project within the budget. Value engineering can go a long way to ensure profitability by helping you stay within your budget and time. But when is the ideal time to go for value engineering?
You can go for value engineering any time before construction, but the best time is the very outset of the project. That means you should carry out value engineering before approval of systems, services, or design and commitment of funds to derive the maximum results.
The potential for cost reduction is much higher during the initial stages of the project. You can face various problems if you opt for value engineering during the later stages. For example, you may need to spend more to implement changes if value engineering is not done at the outset of the project. There can also be resistance to changes which ultimately defeats the goal of the cost-saving approach.
When you adopt value engineering at the right time, you can consider all the supporting systems collaboratively, ensuring an efficient and successful project. A good example can be the sizing of MEP plant rooms. You can face multiple negative consequences in case of oversized equipment like additional electrical infrastructure, requirement for bigger rooms and inefficiencies.
By reviewing your designs at the right time, you can avoid penalties and get the desired outcome.
