Value Engineering

Value engineering can be the single most important activity in managing the cost and investment risk of a project.

SMV Architects maintains an active quality control program to provide the client with choices for obtaining optimum value without jeopardizing quality. Throughout the project we apply value engineering principles including the following mandates:

collaborate with consultants at every stage to develop choices for optimum value
ensure that all project activities directly relate to project goals and objectives
assess each cost in terms of its value to the project as a whole
scrutinize building solutions which have capital cost implications
implement pre-contract cost control services to all phases of the project
perform life cycle cost analysis of the project
