Value engineering may be broadly defined as an organized approach in identifying unnecessary
costs in design and construction and in soliciting or proposing alternative design or construction
technology to reduce costs without sacrificing quality or performance requirements. It usually
involves the steps of gathering pertinent information, searching for creative ideas, evaluating the
promising alternatives, and proposing a more cost effective alternative. This approach is usually
applied at the beginning of the construction phase of the project life cycle.
