Value Engineering
- Goals of
– improving design & adding value – affirm design objectives – removing unnecessary costs
- For projects >$25M and on the NHS
- Fresh look using new eyes
- Best time: at end of Phase I
- Can be used for any project
“There’s a way to do better….find it.” Thomas A. Edison

Post‐Construction Reviews
- On projects with construction
costs >$1M and open to public for at least a year
- Goal of 4 projects from each
District per fiscal year
- Moving towards reviewing
more projects that are smaller
