Segments of value engineering services :-

Value Engineering in the Design-Build Process
We carry out the overall studies on behalf of Contractor on Request for Proposal (RFP) prior to bid submission. We thoroughly scrutinize the clarity of the project definition and diminish the ‘unknowns’ for which contractors may experience extra cost to their bids. Thus contractors are able to win the bid by submitting the project within budget and suitable quality.

Sustainable Design Reviews(SDR)
We create sustainable Strategies for owners, contractors and design professionals to enhance the project's environmental and economic performance by categorizing green building elements to be used in all kinds of projects. In this regard we always choose the elements with properties like energy conversion, recycled materials, improvements to indoor air quality. We are well versed with LEED Green Building Rating SystemTM.

Constructability Reviews
We execute Constructability Reviews as a cross check of construction documents for optimizing controlling costs and enhancing project value.

We perform Constructability Reviews at Pre-final design state prior to Contractor bidding and identity potential coordination issues, conflicts or errors in the contract documents, missed details, time delays, potential liability, and inter-contractor coordination items for accuracy, comprehensiveness and systems coordination.
With our service owners can considerably lessen the occurrence and size of change orders on their projects.
