Complex projects require the services of many technically competent engineers specializing in many different disciplines. Experienced teams many times can evaluate alternatives and select the best system or component during the final design process. Unfortunately many times such "value" is not designed into the project. How can a project owner insure the project incorporates the best value given the specific situation? Many times a second look or Value Engineering approach is beneficial. It is customary to save 15 to 25 percent of the ultimate project cost. DG staff has experience on value engineering teams of obtaining project savings of 30 to 50% of the project cost. Experience and relationships of team members are crucial for the success of a Value Engineering approach to be successful. DG staff can assemble experienced dynamic teams and provide the management and facilitate the process to build value into a complex project. The process is usually embraced by the design engineering firm as the value engineering report is turned over to the design firm for their review and comments. The design firm maintains control with their client on which recommendations are followed and which are discarded.
