Value Engineering

Cost-Saving Integrations

Pinpointing savings before the bidding process

Traditionally, planning for a new build or renovation of an existing building is followed by a bidding phase from the general contractor. Working from approved plans, sub-contractors, suppliers, or vendors each vie to provide competitive, cost-effective proposals. It can be time-consuming but also provide some savings before the project begins.

We’ve decided to streamline the process. With value engineering, we eliminate the bidding process by incorporating cost-saving practices during the planning phase. Because of our design-build capabilities, the process is that much faster. It’s just one of the advantages of using Halbert Construction.

Discovering Value

A meeting of the minds before plans are permitted

Instead of sequestering engineers off in a room by themselves to hammer out plans, we often bring in our sub-contractors to check on the process. Our sub-contractors can often suggest different materials or process changes that save money or time overall. By recognizing alternatives during the planning stage, these changes can be made before the permitting phase. Re-submitting plans with changes can be time-consuming and costly – especially if the project is already underway.

Value engineering is a great way to improve any project. Incorporated during the design and planning phase, value engineering can be used in any sized job, in any type of building. It’s just one of the ways Halbert Construction gives our clients a well-planned and professional experience.
