The Methodology of Using Value Engineering in Construction Projects Management
Abstract: Construction
projects are implemented in different countries with heavy costs and some of
the projects have been relatively or absolutely unsuccessful and even faced
with irreversible losses after construction. Maybe, it is due to complexities
related to projects or other social-economic phenomenon. The present study
revealed that value engineering can be used as a helpful tool from the
beginning of studies to the end of designing, constructing, exploiting, and
maintaining processes and overcome civil designs’ challenges and complexities.
Value engineering is a method experienced in management that has an organized
approach. Value engineering has a systematic and cooperative mechanism to
analyze function and systems with the aim of achieving desirable function with
the least costs. This study has attempted to briefly introduce concepts and
executive process of value engineering in construction projects. Also, the
study has attempted to investigate conventional methods of evaluating projects
function and compare them convergence with value engineering to improve
projects. Based on the research findings, it can be found that if we can expect
to achieve projects objectives by spending the least cost and ensure the
efficacy of investment in construction projects management sector as a main
challenge of development plans in the third world countries through using
engineering in appropriate time periods and in different phases.
