Maximizing Design Value & Construction Efficiency
At SCG, value engineering is an inclusive, early-stage process designed to optimize your project’s balance of cost, performance, and functionality without sacrificing your architectural vision. We perform detailed evaluations of materials, layouts, systems, and sequencing to determine high-impact alternatives that preserve design intent and project objectives.
Our Process
1. Discovery & Kickoff
Collaborate with your team of architects, engineers, and owners to align on project goals, budget constraints, design intent, and performance objectives.
2. Targeted Analysis
Focus on high ticket elements such as structural systems, MEP configurations, finish assemblies, and equipment procurement. Train of thought: Is there a cost effective alternative that matches or enhances capacity?
3. Workshops & Modeling
Utilize estimating and modeling tools to compare permitting, demolition or rework implications, long‑term energy cost, and maintenance scenarios.
4. Option Development
Present alternative systems, materials, or methodologies backed by comparative cost-benefit analysis. For example, selecting alternate wall systems that reduce framing weight while maintaining acoustical performance.
5. Client Review & Decision
Walk through options with stakeholders, reviewing line-item savings, schedule impact, and performance trade-offs to make informed decisions.
6. Integration & Implementation
Once approved, SCG integrates approved VE selections into the construction budget, schedule, scope language, and contract documentation to ensure alignment throughout the rest of the delivery.
Benefits of Value Engineering
Cost Savings
Identify high-impact substitutions in materials or methods to reduce overall project budget without compromising quality or aesthetic goals.
Improved Constructibility
Detect and resolve constructability issues before they arise, minimizing delays and onsite rework.
Enhanced Schedule Predictability
Streamline long-lead items and sequencing to shorten lead times and maintain critical-path milestones.
Sustainability & Lifecycle Advantages
Recommend options that deliver better durability, improved energy performance, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
