Value Engineering

Value engineering is the process of providing the same quality building and/or features at less expense.

Working abstractly in a preconstruction mode, an architect or engineer can not always design the most economical solution to a building scenario. Or, to be as professional and safe as possible, they may specify building systems to meet expensively high performance standards. For example, a heating and ventilation system may be designed to perform for a geographic region's coldest and hottest days on record.

At DMR Construction we suggest a better way of changing the functionality of the design or the overall scope of the project to meet expectations at the lowest level of expense.

We may suggest to change building materials. We work with our subcontractors and use their specialized expertise to get their feedback on the real-world cost-effectiveness of building plans and specifications. As a practice, we ask them to bid per the specification then to submit an alternate bid that changes the spec, and saves money without affecting the quality of the operation of the finished building. We are constantly evaluating performance expectations and comparing them to specifications and the expense of construction.
