Value management is a structured and systematic
approach to improving the value of the project. Prior to
construction itgenerally consists of a number of meetings with the
client during the preliminary design process.
During these meetings ideas are challenged and alternative
materials and methodologies are explored. It is widely recognised
that employing value management early on can assist in the success
of a project and have a positive impact on the end product and
cost.
During the construction phase, value management is equally as
important. Cost checks may reveal that the budget is being
exceeded. Therefore action must be taken to correct the
offending detail to that which was originally intended or find cost
savings elsewhere in the project budget so that the overall budget
can be maintained.
