Value engineering provides a systematic approach to achieving the required project functions at lowest cost – without detriment to quality, performance and reliability.

There are many reasons why unnecessary costs creep into design – lack of local knowledge, poor information, old habits, out of date specifications, poor communication, reluctance to seek advice etc. The most optimum time to undertake value engineering is at concept design stage – prior to money having been spent on costly design solutions or construction, albeit that BCQS can undertake this exercise at any time before the construction is complete.
