Value Engineering
Creative, systematic analysis to optimise project value — achieving the best possible outcomes without compromising quality, performance, or design intent.
Get in touchSmarter Solutions, Greater Value
Value engineering is not about cutting costs — it is about maximising the value delivered for every pound spent. Our team examines design, specification, and construction methodology to identify opportunities where alternative solutions can deliver equal or better performance at lower cost, or enhanced performance at the same cost.
Design Review
Systematic review of design proposals to identify over-specification, redundancy, and opportunities for simplification.
Specification Analysis
Comparative analysis of materials and systems to identify equivalent alternatives at lower cost.
Buildability Review
Assessment of construction methodology to identify more efficient build sequences and techniques.
Lifecycle Costing
Whole-life cost analysis ensuring short-term savings do not create long-term maintenance burdens.
Why Value Engineering Delivers Optimise value at every level
Cost Savings
Typical savings of 5–15% of construction cost through considered value engineering exercises.
Maintained Quality
All proposals are assessed against the original design intent and performance requirements.
Innovation
Fresh perspectives and creative solutions from experienced construction professionals.
Programme Benefits
Simplified designs and buildable solutions often reduce construction programme duration.
Sustainability Gains
Reduced material use and more efficient systems contribute to sustainability objectives.
When to Undertake Value Engineering
Value engineering is most effective during the design stages, but can realise savings at any point up to and during construction.
Budget Pressure
Your project budget is under pressure and you need to find savings without sacrificing quality.
Design Completion
The design is substantially complete and you want an independent review before tendering.
Tender Returns
Tender prices have exceeded budget and you need to identify savings to bring the project back into line.
Ongoing Programme
You have a rolling programme of projects and want to embed value engineering into your standard process.
Why Greenwave?
Experienced Eye
Our team brings construction experience that identifies genuine savings, not false economies.
Collaborative Approach
We work with the design team, not against them, to develop proposals that everyone supports.
Proven Track Record
Documented savings across commercial, residential, and leisure sectors.
