Coming in all functions, shapes, and sizes, the cost of owning and operating a building represents a major expense to the owner and user. Whether educational, healthcare, correctional, military facilities, transit terminals, airports, laboratories, offices, hotels, or residential structures, value engineering ensures that the owner's and users' needs are defined and understood, and that the design meets client goals for function, cost and quality.
LZA works with the project owner, designer, and users to define the driving forces of each project—initial cost, life cycle cost, safety, schedule, aesthetics, etc. Understanding these
project value objectives enables the VE team to offer alternatives that meet client needs, cost, and quality goals.
