Frequently Asked Questions
What is value engineering in construction industry?
+
Value engineering in construction is a structured process to maximise value by analysing functions, cutting unnecessary costs, and improving performance. At Stonehaven, we combine expert cost analysis with design optimisation to deliver smarter, more efficient project outcomes.
What is the role of a value engineer?
+
A value engineer identifies ways to improve function and reduce costs without sacrificing quality. Stonehaven’s value engineers work with your design and build teams to propose viable alternatives that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and long-term performance.
What is the main objective of value engineering?
+
The main objective is to achieve the best balance between cost, quality, and performance. Stonehaven achieves this through rigorous cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder collaboration, and practical solutions that keep your project on budget without reducing quality.
What are the applications of value engineering?
+
Value engineering applies from concept design to project closeout. At Stonehaven, we use it to refine design, select optimal materials, improve sustainability, and control costs, ensuring the highest return on investment for your project.
What are VE items in construction?
+
VE items are components identified for cost-saving or improved function, such as alternative materials or revised construction methods. Stonehaven assesses each item’s impact, recommending changes that maintain performance while reducing costs.
