COST-EFFICIENT, HIGH ROI ENGINEERING

Value engineering is all about getting you the best possible development at the lowest possible cost, without compromising on safety and quality. It’s all about finding the right balance between all of the costs involved in a development and eliminating waste that can add up on the balance sheet.

At Lean Green Technetronic Construction Management (LGT), value engineering is at the root of everything we do. We believe in efficiency as a cost-saving model and strive to plan developments that are streamlined for both cost and accuracy.

Our approach

There’s more to value engineering than simply cutting costs. At LGT, we deploy a 4-step method that ensures your development is being handled with careful efficiency, rather than pure cost-cutting.

  • Information. We gather all of the available information about the nature of the development and the costs associated with it, figuring out where logistical improvements may lower costs. We also assess information regarding materials, labor, scheduling and more to figure out how to best engineer a timeline that saves you money.
  • Evaluation. Before we put anything into action, we thoroughly evaluate any cost-saving measures to make sure they don’t impact the integrity of your development. Our team will take the time to plan out eventualities that may impact the construction process. This allows us to make adjustments or avoid ideas if they’re not conducive to the process. Ultimately, your project only benefits from the best value engineering.
  • Communication. We communicate any and all logistical or process-oriented changes to vendors, contractors, inspectors and other personnel, so everyone is on the same page when it comes to expectations and executables. Through clear communication, we avoid setbacks that could nullify the cost savings attributed to value engineering
  • Development. Once our ideas have been vetted and communicated, we put them into action. Deploying a value engineering strategy is something we focus intently on at every stage of the development. Further, we take the time to make sure our value-add concepts are being properly executed throughout the duration of the project.

LGT is methodical when it comes to value engineering, taking a careful approach to planning and a thorough approach to execution.

Get the best value

It’s easy to cut costs in a development by choosing sub-par materials or contracting the lowest bidders—but these things have a direct impact on project quality and often lead to more expenses down the line. Instead of racing to the bottom, let LGT value engineer your development to the top. We’ll save you costs now and in the future by approaching your development with efficiency and foresight.

BENEFITS OF VALUE ENGINEERING

More than just saving you on upfront costs, value engineering is all about improving the overall viability of a development long after construction is complete. Through well-thought-out value engineering, we’re able to provide clients with:

  • Lower construction costs by assessing alternatives in materials and processes
  • Better life cycle expectations that minimize repair and replacement costs
  • Higher completed value through improved construction materials and processes
  • Better maintain ability and longevity from materials, reducing future costs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How can you help me minimize construction cost for my project?

    Our design expertise provides an insight into cost savings prior to construction beginning. We review the project and site layout to optimize your project for its location. A budget and schedule provided as part of your contract documents ensures a clear and concise plan is executed from start to finish. Our understanding of design and implementation in the field allows our team to provide value engineering options to each project which may offer efficiency and savings to each project.

  • Are you open to my recommendations during the development / construction process?

    Yes. We value our clients’ recommendations. We understand that this is your investment and ultimately your project. We encourage our clients to be involved and offer suggestions. We will have several meetings prior to start of construction to ensure your recommendations and suggestions have been addressed and a clear path forward is agreed upon prior to proceeding with construction.

  • How does custom home building differ from the plans provided by tract/spec builders’ plans?

    A custom home allows you to provide your input and make changes to meet your specific needs. Rather than adapting to a home that was built for “anyone,” you can build a home that is specifically designed for you and your family.

  • How important is it to meet to discuss a proposal prior to signing?

    It is very important to our company that we clearly understand your expectations and both parties understand the agreement. A meeting will be scheduled to review the contract, plans, schedule, and contract estimate prior to signing a contract.
