Value Engineering Without Losing Design Intent

Separate visible intent from hidden construction

The appearance, touchpoints and proportions that define the design should be identified before alternatives are proposed.

A cheaper material or detail may increase maintenance, replacement or installation risk. Value engineering should consider the complete project outcome.
